This time on the show we continue coverage of Toorcamp 2012 – the American Hacker Camp. This time Darren speaks with Rob Eby about packet radio as an extension of the Internet. Plus what could be better than flexible individually addressable RGB LED strips? %1 controlled by Arduino! All that and more!
How to import the compiled Arduino IDE libraries into Atmel Studio 6.0 using a program written by Omar Francisco. This will allow you to use the feature rich programming environment of Atmel Studio to program the Arduino Uno. Other Arduino boards such as the Mega can also be used inside Atmel Studio but that is […]
This video explains how to use the 16 channel PWM controller TLC5940 The CODE: //Texas Instruments TLC 5940 with Arduino //www.kevindarrah.com #include <SPI.h>//Serial Peripheral Interface Library byte ch=0, chbit=0, spibit=0, spibyte=0;// variables used by tlc sub routine int SINData;//variable used to shift data to the TLC byte transferbyte[48];// bytes that are sent out to the […]

This video describes how to configure two Series 1 XBEEs using Arduino UNO board.The ways of making 2 way communication is also tested on Wireless mode. Overview The Xbee shield allows an Arduino board to communicate wirelessly using Zigbee. It is based on the Xbee module from MaxStream. The module can communicate up to 100 feet […]
Overview Stepper motors fall somewhere in between a regular DC motor and a servo motor. They have the advantage that they can be positioned accurately, moved forward or backwards one ‘step’ at a time, but they can also rotate continuously. In this lesson you will learn how to control a stepper motor using your Arduino […]
I show how to use a standard 16X2 LCD display in three different use cases. 1. With an Arduino Uno 2. With a TI Launchpad MSP430 running Energia 3. Directly on a breadboard on an MSP430G2553 running Energia This LCD display is low cost – I paid $2.26, shipped, on Ebay. It uses the standard […]
This instructable will show you how to convert an old toy R/C car from the thrift-store ($1.50) into a bluetooth controlled robot. To make the conversion, you will need an Arduino (any type), an L298N dual 2-amp motor-controller (or similar), and a bluetooth serial adapter from Sparkfun.com. We will first remove all existing circuitry from […]
As many of you may know, this Lazy Old Geek loves Arduinos. Many of my projects are portable and need a battery source: http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Pedometer/ http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Nokia-LCD-Sensors/ http://www.instructables.com/id/Ultrasonic-Tape-Measure/ All pricing was determined about early 2012. So, I’ve been using Adafruit 6 AA Battery holder $5.00 https://www.adafruit.com/products/248 with 6 AA rechargeable batteries. (See Picture) Another choice would […]
This is a data logger I made for my class. I couldn’t find any instructions that I could use to make the Arduino record the light brightness and the temperature. Then display the temperature and the light value on the LCD then Save it to the SD card Requirements Here are the requirements for the […]
