I created this Instructable for the absolute n00by robot wannabe. I have noticed a huge jump in the number of beginners getting into the hobby and the number of “how do I” questions seem to be mounting. Maybe this humble little Instructable will help one or two create their first robot. You will find basic […]

I have created this wiring diagram for the connections between the motor controller, motors, and sensor shield. I’ll update it later to include other components. And here is an update that includes the servo motor and the range sensor. And here are the detailed pin assignments for all modules: PIN ASSIGNMENT Arduino Pin Description Motor

A friend gave me his old Lego Spybotics robot, however, the programming environment that goes along with it is a bit too orientated to the younger user. So why not control it using an Arduino? Step 1: Open up! In order to get this robot moving, we need to borrow its motors. There are two

Here I will show you an overview on how to make a robotic talking turret, loosely based off of the turrets from the popular game, Portal. This instructable should help anyone wanting to do an animatronics project. For more detailed pictures, go to: http://razorconcepts.net/turret.html This project require some experience with tools, electronic circuits, and maybe

In this instructable I will show you how to make a simple robotic arm controlled by 4 servos , 2 analog joysticks, and an Arduino UNO. It is very similar to my “2 Servos + Thumbstick” instructable. This tutorial is in particular to help out another Arduino user; “RobotZee”. I will guide you step by

The idea Ardusumo is a universal platform to build robots on wheels that can move around avoiding obstacles using infrared sensors and follow routes marked with dark lines on a white background. We have created Ardusumo to bring young students to the world of robotics: if suitably programmed, Ardusumo allows robots to perform various autonomous

This is a Modification of an electric wheelchair. I called it “Buggy” for two reasons. #1 My kids can still ride it around because I left the seat intact. #2 I haven’t programmed anything for a long time. I plan to create “jobs” for it in the near future. I welcome any input. Keep in

The CatBot is an autonomous laser toy for your cat. You may say “But Joe, isn’t the laser pointer the best toy for the lazy cat owner?” I’d have to say no, the CatBot takes one step further. Using two servos, an Arduino and a cheap $3 laser you can provide your cat with endless

This project answers to a need I had: a third hand that holds a camera while I perform a test and takes photos/videos (useful when you’re stuck at the lab late at night, and suddenly need a photographer). The downside to a robotic arm was obvious – It needs to be programmed, and it is

One of the basic tasks in many home automation systems is controlling power to appliances. They could be lights, or a heater, or an exhaust fan, or just about anything else that runs on mains power. The problem of course is that it’s dangerous to mess with mains-level power directly and you may even be
