Overview The Arduino Motor Shield is based on the L298 (datasheet), which is a dual full-bridge driver designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping motors. It lets you drive two DC motors with your Arduino board, controlling the speed and direction of each one independently. You can also measure the

This instructable will show you how to create a simple servo leg that can be controlled by buttons on an arduino or via serial. Here is a video of the leg in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8i1nrPIJvo Leg Materials: Popsicle sticks-make sure that all of them are flat and not curved, like in the picture Paper clip 4

As a beginner myself, I struggled to find a one-stop set of instructions to get up and running with Sparkfun’s Motor Driver 1A Dual TB6612FNG. This motor driver breakout board is exceptional value, is beautifully small, but does need a little more effort to get it working. The TB6612FNG is an H-Bridge driver – I

There is a lot of interest these days among hobbyists in controlling brushless DC (BLDC) motors, which have improved performance and better energy efficiency over traditional DC motors, but are more difficult to use. Many off-the-shelf products exist for this purpose. For example, there are lots of small BLDCs controllers for RC airplanes that work

So there I was, browsing eBay, looking for some cheap deals on Atmel chips when i came across a pair of ATTiny13 chips for £2.50. I just had to have them! After all, how hard can it be? I needed a small chip to read servo signals from a hobby RC Receiver and control a

Hi guys, I bring a new instructable for arduino, the control access with password, 4×4 keypad and a servo. We will use the Password and Keypad librarie for arduino, besides using the servo library, but this project can also be modified by changing the servo, a motor reley or motor stepper, or any other ideas

In arduino projects, you might add servo to your projects. This short tutorial, show you the basic how arduino and servo works together. Instruction; 1) Connect all jumper wire as shown in diagram. 2) Connect the signal wire from servo to digital pin 9. Upload this code to your arduino /* Servo Basic Understanding the basic of servo in arduino projects. Sweep

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

Squirt is a motion activated water cannon using Arduino. This was designed for use in the garden but as it’s winter we tested it in the bathroom. It works! True motion tracking is expensive and complicated so this system activates when the victim moves into range and randomises the position of the cannon and the

I’m going to show you how to use your Arduino to control up to 12 servos at once with minimal jitter. Using a simple serial interface you can control the position of up to 12 servo channels. Up to 10 snapshot positions can be saved and played back at any time. Start up values for
