Again, we have a specific sensor model in this Python robot framework, while in the real world, sensors come with accompanying software that should provide similar conversion functions from non ...

While PIR sensors can be used with Arduino and other microcontroller boards, those best-suited for hobby use are smart enough to perform simple tasks without any programming.

Learning to build a robot arm will teach you how to breadboard a circuit, how to program your Arduino, and how to work with moving parts. In the end, you’ll have a real, physical thing that does ...

By the way, we’ve covered a PID library for Arduino before. While this post talks about temperature, PID control is used for everything from flight control to levitation.

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 ...

To take your project to the next level, you could incorporate flex sensors. These sensors enable you to control each finger of the robotic hand individually, almost like controlling your own hand.

[Jon] wrote in to tell us about his programmable RC car, and the Howto guide that he’s made. According to him, this project can be constructed with $9 worth of parts plus an Arduino and a sma… ...

The Python programming language offers distinct and powerful advantages of ease of use, flexibility, and convenience in a test and measurement setting. To see how, follow this example of measuring ...

John Boxall, author of the new book Arduino Workshop, shares a few of the projects from his book on how to get started with the microcontroller. (Click the links to see PDFs of the complete ...
