The Arduino is a pocket-sized computer (also called a “microcontroller“) that you can program and use to control circuits. It interacts with the outside word through sensors, leds, motors, speakers… even the internet; this makes it a flexible platform for lots of creative projects. Some popular uses include: – programmable light displays that respond to
Book Description Arduino is an open-source platform that makes DIY electronics projects easier than ever. Readers with no electronics experience can create their first gadgets within a few minutes. This book is up-to-date for the new Arduino Uno board, with step-by-step instructions for building a universal remote, a motion-sensing game controller, and many other fun,

I started learning Arduino a couple of years ago and started playing around with a 16×2 LCD display that uses the Hitachi HD44780 chipset. I soon found out that the screen provides 8 character slots that are customizable. I found a project in which someone used the slots to create their own special characters, which

I’ve been in possession of an Arduino Duemilanove for a couple of weeks. If you are unfamiliar with the Arduino, it is defined as “a platform for creating electronics prototypes using adaptable, user-friendly hardware and software”. The setup consists of a small microcontroller, a USB port for programming on a computer, a power socket for

Today, we will be measuring weight by connecting a Load Cell and HX711 Weight Sensor with Arduino. Weight machines can be found in various stores, and they show the weight when an item is placed on the weighing platform. Thus, we are constructing a weighing device with Arduino and load cells capable of measuring up

Equipment: Arduino UNO microcomputer, PC with Arduino IDE installed, and a USB cable. CdS PhotoSensitive Resistor(s), 10K Ohm Resistor, and Parallax PIR Motion Sensor Passive sensors detect some physical phenomena and provide some amount of information about it that can be used for action or reaction. If sensors are passive, they may have an
