A few weeks ago, I installed an automatic water heater switch to my bathroom, but it was a crude device. What I really want to do is design a universal heater driver. That basic idea can be adapted to ...

Welcome to the Autonomous Snow-Plow Project! This project is a fully autonomous snowplow robot capable of navigating within a predefined area, detecting and avoiding obstacles, and removing simulated ...

We’ve been hiding away in air-conditioned comfort to wait out the hot weather afflicting most of the US right now. Luckily we’re keeping busy with the great links coming into our tips box. [Brett] ...

This project implements closed-loop position control of a Pololu 70:1 metal gearmotor (4754) using an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi and a Pololu Dual G2 High-Power Motor Shield 24v14 (M1). A panel rotary ...

While newer Arduinos and Arduino compatibles (including the Hackaday.io Trinket Pro. Superliminal Advertising!) either have a chip capable of USB or rely on a V-USB implementation, the old fogies of ...

Arduino boards have taken the world by storm since their initial development. Affordable and easy to use, Arduino boards are becoming increasingly popular with professionals, academics and hobbyists ...

One of the strong points of Arduino is its easy-to-use serial port which makes it simple to export data, to send commands to it, or to help with debugging. A Serial Monitor and a Serial Plotter are ...

Abstract: In this paper, we design and implement a low-cost Arduino-based real-time PID controller and a sliding mode control (SMC) controller for the angular speed of a DC gearmotor in robotics ...

The creative adventures with ATtiny series microcontroller are awesome if you know how to play them. ATtinys — especially the ATtiny85s — are all around us, and by using one, we can shrink the size of ...
