LEARN SAILING MECHANICS WITHOUT LEAVING DRY LAND

The ancient art of sailing can be very intimidating for the uninitiated given the shifty nature of wind. To help understand the interaction of wind direction and board orientation, [KifS] designed a hands-on sailing demonstrator that lets students grasp the basics before setting foot on a real sailboat. The demonstrator uses a potentiometer as a tiller to […]

Stepper Motors

Stepper motors are not smooth – they move in “steps”. Different motors have a different number of steps to make one complete rotation. You use software to step the motor forward or backward at different speeds. There are two kinds of stepper motor bipolar and unipolar – Unipolar will have five or six cables coming

Controlling a Stepper Motor with an SIRC TV Remote and a PICAXE

Controlling a Stepper Motor with an SIRC TV Remote and a PICAXE: Infrared Capabilities

This is part one of a two-part project. For part one, we will focus on IR remotes and signaling, as well as IR reception and decoding. Using IR (InfraRed) radiation to control electronic devices is widely accepted and implemented. IR devices are routinely used in alarm systems, automatic door openers, and similar applications. This project
