How to import the compiled Arduino IDE libraries into Atmel Studio 6.0 using a program written by Omar Francisco. This will allow you to use the feature rich programming environment of Atmel Studio to program the Arduino Uno. Other Arduino boards such as the Mega can also be used inside Atmel Studio but that is

This video describes how to configure two Series 1 XBEEs using Arduino UNO board.The ways of making 2 way communication is also tested on Wireless mode. Overview The Xbee shield allows an Arduino board to communicate wirelessly using Zigbee. It is based on the Xbee module from MaxStream. The module can communicate up to 100 feet

Arduino Tutorial #1: Uno Hardware In this video I look at the hardware for the Arduino and how it compares to that other microcontroller I’ve worked with, the Netduino. Arduino Tutorial #2: Getting Started n our second Arduino tutorial, we take a look at what is essentially the “hello world” of the microcontroller world. We

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

This instructable will show you how to convert an old toy R/C car from the thrift-store ($1.50) into a bluetooth controlled robot. To make the conversion, you will need an Arduino (any type), an L298N dual 2-amp motor-controller (or similar), and a bluetooth serial adapter from Sparkfun.com. We will first remove all existing circuitry from

As many of you may know, this Lazy Old Geek loves Arduinos. Many of my projects are portable and need a battery source: http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Pedometer/ http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Nokia-LCD-Sensors/ http://www.instructables.com/id/Ultrasonic-Tape-Measure/ All pricing was determined about early 2012. So, I’ve been using Adafruit 6 AA Battery holder $5.00 https://www.adafruit.com/products/248 with 6 AA rechargeable batteries. (See Picture) Another choice would
