Arduino Hexapod Robot Design I will show you how to build an arduino hexapod robot, from building the body, to how to implement the algorithm. To learn about the implementation of the algorithm, read this first, if you are not sure what is IK, read this.

[INTRO] This past semester, I decided to build a GPS receiver with an iPhone app that tracks it for my semester project. Here is a step-by-step tutorial to show you how you can build your own. [OVERVIEW] Architecture of my Real-Time GPS Tracker project. I’ll be using the diagram above to explain how the project

MaKey Makey is a project created by Eric Rosenbaum und Jay Silver. It’s an Arduino based keyboard. A very special keyboard, because you can use apples, bananas or Play Doh as keyboard keys. Sounds strange, but it works very well. How it works: The trick is using a very high resistor on the Arduino input (10..50MOhm).

In this week’s arduino tutorial, we take a bit of a detour and focus on some key elements of electrical engineering design that we’ll be using in future episodes. Included amongst these topics is Ohm’s Law, current-limiting resistors, pull-down and pull-up resistors, voltage dividers, potentiometers, analog inputs, and voltage regulators. If you’re yearning to learn

As promised, this week brings another communications tutorial! In this video, we’ll use both the serial and processing knowledge that we gained last week, plus an I2C enabled temperature-sensing IC. We’ll use processing to generate a pretty room temperature display on your computer screen. If you are new to processing, they have an excellent

Interrupts are an extremely useful, yet often feared element of microprocessors. Interrupts allow you to run a program, while still being able to react to asynchronous input from the outside world. On many platforms they can be confusing to implement, but the arduino makes it easy! In this week’s episode, I’ll show you how to use

Update (6/7/2012) – I’ve had to disable comments on this post, because it is being targeted by spam bots for some reason. Please use the contact page if you have a question about this topic. In this week’s arduino tutorial, we’ll be taking a look at SPI device control using the arduino. Specifically, we’re going

This project is an update of my original Peak Power Tracker Battery Charger Project. It is designed to control a 12V solar panel charging a 12V lead acid battery. The updated version of this project uses the Arduino Duemilanove development board (from www.sparkfun.com) as the basis for the project. Then I used the Arduino Protoshield

This was easily the most time I’ve spent producing an Arduino Tutorial. I’ve been sporadically walking around NYC with this Arduino GPS for weeks as I’ve tweaked the code and gotten it just right. If it wasn’t obvious from the title, this tutorial will teach you how to use an arduino paired with a GPS Module

Why Wii Nunchuck Arduino? You can create and build endless electronics design and project with the powerful Arduino, for example a robot. By attaching Wii Nunchuck Arduino, you create the opportunity to control Arduino using the way we most familiar with, the way we play games! Not to mention, Wii Nunchuck is cheap (~5 US
