Here is part 1 of the Arduino and L293D Robot.This is part of a series of instructables leading to a Line follower Robot. This is a basic Robot made by controlling two motors via the L293D chip through an Arduino Board. I have done this project in the past with similar set up just not with an Arduino Board. Do […]
Overview The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 (datasheet). It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support […]
Summer Project: Arduino Scouting Robot Arduino Scouting Robot Part 1 * 12,9,5 volt power supply recharge it with a 12-volt charger keep power switch on to charge * 2 DC motors operate at 7.2V with a maximum current draw of 3 amps * 2 Digital Servos operate at 6V with a maximum current draw of […]
Arduino + Android Normally smartphone events are tightly coupled to your phone device itself. When your cell phone is ringing, your phone speaker plays a ringtone. When you get a new text message, your phone displays it on its screen. Wouldn’t it be thrilling to make thoses phone events visible somewhere else, on your wearable, […]
Episode 3 of AndroidTec, Formed by members thamind (Jon) chaostic (Lewis) & Computer Whiz (Jim) and introducing GuyCothal, who discusses about the amazing abilities of Arduino micro controller boards and how they can be used with Androids! Jason also made a guest appearance!
In this tutorial we make an Arduino-compatible board that holds the microcontroller in a ZIF socket. Updated 18/03/2013 Today we are going to make a different type of Arduino-compatible board, one that has a ZIF (“zero insertion force”) socket. Our reason for making this is simple – now and again you may need to program […]
During the past spring a good friend of mine bought me my first house plant, a Lady Palm, and I’ve found myself rather invested in keeping it alive. To that end I wanted to monitor the plant’s environment so I could ensure that its needs were being met. My first thought was another ITP project, […]
This how-to takes you through all the steps of making your own arduino on a perfboard or perfduino! Arduino microcontrollers are great for learning about physical computing and are very useful for rapid prototyping. Arduino’s simple programming language makes it a favorite of hobbyists and diy-ers around the world. Because arduino boards range in price […]
For my Digital Multimedia class final, I created a treat dispenser that is activated by pulling a chain, which starts a servo motor that spins a wheel to dispense treats to my to African Grey parrots. Step 1: Gather Materials Step 2: Construct Button 1. Cut two strands of wire around 6in long. 2. Solder one of […]
GoFly is a project based on PNA (car navigation devices with Windows CE), LK8000 tactical fligh computer software and variometer (altimeter) external input based on Arduino board and pressure sensor. Why? -You can build this for about 150$, -Your ordinary PNA (Personal Navigation Assistant) changes to really nice, high end flying computer, with lot of […]
