Get your Arduino moving! This shield makes it easy to control two high-power DC motors with your Arduino or Arduino-compatible board. Its dual robust VNH5019 motor drivers operate from 5.5 to 24 V and can deliver a continuous 12 A (30 A peak) per motor, or a continuous 24 A (60 A peak) to a single motor connected to both […]
If you need an Arduino to shut off from within your Sketch, this is the solution. We will explore wiring the Pololu Pushbutton Power Switch, programming the Arduino to shut off the power, and making the unit “power on” only. The Pololu Pushbutton Power Switch comes in two versions – the SV version geared towards […]
Hello world, in this Instructable I want to show you, how to program your Arduino Uno with your Android device over Bluetooth. It is very simple and so cheap. Also it allows us to program our Arduino where ever we want over wireless bluetooth… So lets get started! 🙂 Step 1: Materials and Tools Hardware […]
I’m currently helping a couple of engineering students finish a senior project that didn’t get finished last year. Long story… Anyway, it’s a bicycle brake tester being built for Paul Components. The mechanical design is great, but they had trouble with the electronics. Part of those electronics involved writing numbers to a pair of Sparkfun […]
In Part 2 of the DNA Melting Lab you will make revisions to allow greater control of your instrument and to reduce the effects of noise. You will add a pulse-width modulation (PWM) heater controller to enable careful control of the heating and cooling rates of the DNA sample. This will allow you to maintain […]
Hey Everyone, this is a simple guide on how to convert your Baofeng UV-9R (or plus) Headphone / ear piece cable into a programming cable using an Ardunio UNO as a USB Serial Converter. [DISCLAIMER] I do not take any responsibility in any damage caused to your radio or computer, or any other property or […]
Today we are going to examine the Maxim MAX7219 LED display driver IC. The reason for doing so is to show you how something that used to be quite complex can be made very simple – and that is what all this technology is for, isn’t it? If you have ever tried to control lots […]
Ever wanted to make your home automated? Wanted to control the lights, fan, and other appliances from your smartphone? Or wanted a tutorial about connected devices and getting started with them? Our DIY Android Home Automation project will show you how to make your home automated using an Android smartphone. This requires no experience with […]
In this project we are going to make a Buck Converter Circuit using Arduino and N-Channel MOSFET with a maximum current capacity of 6 amps. We are going to step down 12v DC to any value between 0 and 10v DC. We can control the output voltage value by rotating the potentiometer. A buck converter […]
This is a fun and pretty easy project that I built as a Christmas present for my kid who loves throwing things. Watch the video to see what it can do. It’s built out of a regular Arduino UNO, pressure sensors made from velostat, and RGB LED strip, and 7 segment LED display. Source code […]
