In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use a wireless PlayStation 2 (PS2) controller and an Arduino Uno pilot a robotic tank. Story An Arduino Uno board was used at the core of this project. It receives commands from the wireless controller and sets the speed of the motors. Other development boards might also […]

bOunce is a haptics-based learning game system that teaches the concepts behind wave dynamics, and in particular, resonance. The bOunce device (an adaptation of the Haptic Paddle) allows a user to “bounce” a ball in a virtual environment. By feeling the haptic force feedback from the virtual ball, as well as seeing the ball’s waveform
UPDATE FEB 2012: This guide is featured on Adafruit’s blog http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2012/02/14/arduino-based-line-follower-robot/ This is Faz3a II, my first line-following robot, which I also hope to use for maze-solving. I used the Arduino Uno, Adafruit motor shield, Pololu’s QTR-8RC line sensors and motors. You can build a cheaper and lighter version of this robot using the Atmel

This Sumo Bot was designed, built, programmed and tested over a 12 week period for one of my final year engineering classes. The aim was to design and build a lightweight fully autonomous sumo fighting robot for an in class Sumo Bot competition. The robot was required to push, lift or flip the opponent’s robot out

Here you will learn how to create an internet controlled robot or other installation using Livebots. Livebots is a project I’m working on which consists of an easy to use website for all the robots that people can interact with through the internet. As an example I will be using a simple Arduino UNO with a LED

Since the pandemic started, and working from home became the new norm, your plant has been your most faithful companion. Bringing life and color to your desk, cheering you up during your long and lonely days, easy to take care of… Yeah, buying that plant was definitely a good idea. And, unlike humans, your plant
The Boot Bot Shield lets you burn the arduino boootloader onto a blank Atmega 328 chip. The bootloader is that magic piece of software that turns a mundane chip into the open source programmable miracle known as the arduino. Blank chips cost a few dollars less per chip than bootloaded ones. With the Boot Bot
I built a remote-controlled robotics platform using a 4WD mobile platform, an Arduino (Seeeduino Mega), an Adafruit motor shield, and two XBee radios for communication. There are also some super-bright white LEDs on the front for headlights. The point of the project was to show how an XBee radio can be used to send joystick

If you are interested in building your very own open source long-range remote control transmitter for your next project. You might be interested in a new video created by YouTube creator, electronics and robotics expert James Bruton this month. Showing his journey in building a DSM2 RC transmitter using the Arduino platform and hardware. Check out the video below to learn more about the process

If you are interested in learning more about programming and building robots you might be interested in a new Kickstarter campaign for the STEM Educational Robot and Robotics Course. Featuring a Mecanum-Wheeled Robot powered by the excellent Arduino platform the robot is factory assembled and ready to drive straight out-of-the-box. Equipped with high precision ultrasonic sensors together with rear facing time
