In the fall of 2012, we set out to construct a robotic arm for the Science Olympiad competition that would be capable of performing the required set of tasks efficiently and to perfection. This instructable will attempt to guide you through the thought processes used in the design and construction of this project. We spent

Overview The Arduino Fio is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P (datasheet) runs at 3.3V and 8 MHz. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 8 analog inputs, an on-board resonator, a reset button, and holes for mounting pin headers. It has connections for a Lithium

First of all I want to apologize for my English, if you don’t understand something, please, ask. I know that a self-balancing robot is not new, but when I started this project I found a lot of information, but never in the same site, I had to search a lot to join all information in

My sensors have not been functioning too well with my computer, as every time I try to connect the hello.light or hello.mic boards and run python through my terminal, I either get the error “resource busy”, or my computer completely freezes! Therefore, I decided to try and program some sensors via an Arduino board and

This is a trial and error / design and development process which I followed in developing a camera slider for creating time-lapse video clips on my DSLR camera. The idea came from using standard Aluminium extrusions I have available at hardware stores, and create a slider chassis / dolly which is able to slide along

The tutorials we used. http://www.instructables.com/id/Touche-for-Arduino-Advanced-touch-sensing/?ALLSTEPS http://www.instructables.com/id/Calm-Relaxed-Interaction-Plant-Plus-1/?ALLSTEPS Download arduino software and the processing software. From their respective websites. Processing.org arduino.cc All of the supplies we used: (we didn’t include the water bottle as a sensing object, and used an inductor instead of a coil) Arduino Usb cable Shield pin headers Resister: 10k, 1MOmh, 3,3k Capacitor:

In this lab you will be using a program to enter a schematic and lay out a printed circuit board (PCB) that will then be manufactured. At this point of the semester you don’t know enough to design your own circuit, so I am giving you one that we will use again later in the

The goal of the project is to come up with an affordable yet generic vibrotactile feedback device to be used for educational purposes. A chemistry learning environment is developed to demonstrate a specific application of our device, in which users can manipulate ions and feel the corresponding electromagnetic attraction and repulsion forces through the vibration

I became interested in model railroading a few years ago. It’s a hobby that requires skills in precision painting, model building, scenery design, wood working, electrical engineering and about a dozen other skills that I’m forgetting right now. It is an excellent creative outlet. Realism can be a part of the hobby, like laying out
