Arduino CLI receives command-line completion, external programmer support and more

Today the official Arduino development team have rolled out a new update to the Arduino CLI, adding some new exciting features in version 0.11.0. New features include Command-line completion, External programmer support and Internationalization and localization support (i18n). “Finally, the autocompletion feature has landed! With this functionality, the program automatically fills in partially typed commands […]

Model Railway Layout With Automated Passing Siding (V2.0)

Motor Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

This project is an update of one of the previous model railroad automation projects, The Model Railway Layout with Automated Siding. This version adds the feature of coupling and decoupling of the locomotive with the rolling stock. The operation of the railway layout is as follows: The locomotive will start from the mainline and proceed into

DRIVING A PAL TV OVER RF THANKS TO PWM HARMONICS

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

While most analog televisions come with composite video inputs on a yellow RCA jack, the feature is not universal. This problem was even more prevalent in the 1980s, and most home consoles got around the problem by instead feeding video to the television’s tuner with an RF modulator. [Manzel Seet] had just such a television

EASY-TO-USE MUSIC PLAYER RELIES ON RFID

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

Microwaves used to be simple to use. Set the dial for the desired time, and hit start. Then, everything went digital and the average microwave now takes between four and six button presses in precise order just to start heating. Music players have gone down a similar path, and those that grew up in the

MAKING MUSIC FROM CARDBOARD

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

Fans of MaKey MaKey may find this project similar, but there’s a lot more to the Mini Automat than making music from fruit. The idea for the Mini Automat (which is an off-shoot of the original Automat project by [Dada Machines]) is to make music accessible to anyone. The device functions as a plug and play MIDI-controller that connects

A MAGNETIC FIELD STRENGTH METER USING AN ARDUINO

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

We’re used to Hall effect devices as proximity sensors in mechanical systems, used to provide detection of something that has a magnet attached to it. However it’s easy to forget that the devices that provide a magnet-or-not digital output are only part of the story, and linear Hall effect devices provide a handy way to

ADDING REMOTE CONTROLS TO A BLACKMAGIC STUDIO CAMERA WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

What to do when one ends up in the possession of a 4K studio camera, but without the requisite hardware and software to remotely control it? When [Glen Akins] ended up in this situation, he took the reasonable option here and developed his own knob-based remote control to adjust exposure and focus on the Blackmagic Designs Micro Studio

Arduino 101

Arduino Programmer Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

To get started with Arduino, you’ll need some basics. In this tutorial, we’ll go beyond a little blinky light and teach you about: Variables Input and Output pins Sensors and reading data Mapping results Functions In another tutorial, I’ll cover classes and why we might use them. But, we might still make a little light

DIY Cycle Speedometer

Metering – Instrument Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

This project came to my mind when doing my MEM (Mechanical Engineering Measurement) project, a subject in my B.tech. The idea is to measure the angular velocity of my bicycle’s wheel. Thus knowing the diameter and the all time mathematical legend the pi(3.14) the speed can be calculated. Also knowing the number of time the wheel has

Interactive Touchless Light

LED Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Hi everyone! I’d like to share the project I have been working on here. I got inspired to experiment with capacitive touch sensing through a project in my university. I found out about this technology through instructables and used the things I learned here and from other places on the internet to build my own
