I have started this joystick controller experiment inspired by the need of a simple DIY joystick which could deliver greater flexibility in the possible designs. Hardware component basis is very ...

If you want to make your Arduino project more compact, an Arduino Shield is the answer. The Arduino Shield is a neat piece of hardware that sits on top of your Arduino board. It is typically designed ...

Arduino’s brand-new Esplora microcontroller, packed with prebuilt sensors and features, could indicate a move for the DIY electronics company toward a wider segment of the microcontroller market.

[Labpacks] wanted to build a robot car controlled by his phone. As a Hackaday reader, of course you probably can imagine building the car. Most could probably even write a phone application to do the ...

In this project, we create a joystick-controlled laser by connecting two servos to a joystick and using this setup as a pan-and-tilt controller for a laser pointer. The following is excerpted from the ...

Brushless motors are ubiquitous in RC applications and robotics, but are usually driven with low-cost motor controllers that have to be controlled with RC-style PWM signals and don’t allow for much ...
