A computer is a very handy thing to use in your robots. If you start listing all the features that can be used for robotic purposes you’ll find that it is cheaper to buy a netbook than buying LCD, wifi and bluetooth modules, cameras, speech synthesizer modules, keypads, memory card readers, speakers and many other stuff. […]

Use the Maxim MAX7219 LED display driver with Arduino in Chapter 56 of our Arduino Tutorials. The first chapter is here, the complete series is detailed here. Update – 4/1/15 – This article is pending a re-write, please refrain from comments and questions until the new version is published. Introduction Sooner or later Arduino enthusiasts and beginners alike will come

After buying a Nanode (an Arduino-compatible board with ethernet built-in) last weekend, we’ve been trying to work it out by making a couple of simple examples, the ‘Binary Dice’ is the first one with input and outputs. A note, this code example is based on the one from the book Arduino: A Quick-Start Guide by

Now with more LED. Arduino mega powered breathalyzer using the MQ-3 sensor. A relative gauge for judging how intoxicated you are. NOT TO BE USED AS MEANS OF BREATHALYZING NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE. This is more of a device to encourage one to drink more. The MQ-3 can’t achieve the accuracy to register exact

Analog sensors produce an analog (continuous) voltage that typically varies from 0 to 5 volts. They have three wires – ground, power, and signal (typically red, black, and white, respectively). Examples shown below include: Potentiometers Proximity Accelerometers Ribbon Bend Pressure Light Temperature Sound Multi-touch Touch Other Potentiometers Potentiometers typically measure rotation or linear travel, and

his project is mainly based in this one from Glaciar Wanderer. I just liked his idea and worked it on my own. (I think this guy and me would be friends, as the projects he has in his photography category are things I’ve been wanting to do since I got my Arduino. I will not

Let’s say that you’re trying to drive a few Nixie clock tubes, or you want to make a strobe light. A variable high voltage DC power supply from 50-200+ volts may be required. Transformers are terrific, but difficult to find the right one and a pain to wind. Why not use a boost converter? They’re
