I was just checking out if there was anything new on Modified Electronics, those who makes these genius small pico arduinos. And yes! A very nice shield for use with the pico, Pico Protoshield Kit! Of course the small breadboard and the…
Yupp, just a short little update. I got the RF sender & receiver from Sparkfun today! RF Link 2400bps Receiver – 315MHz RF Link Transmitter – 315MHz Also a 20×4 serial LCD, gonna be useful for advanced applications. Anyhow, if…
Thought I write some about my two robot projects! They both use a Modified Pico, since it’s the smallest Arduino I’ve found. And it also fits on a small breadboard! Botty 2: This is the most advanced robot I’ve built,…
Hi I just want to write a few words for those new to Arduinos, or those looking for tutorials, guides etc. If you haven’t got a Arduino board yet, you can get one from several places, I’ll list some of…
Got my Serial 16×2 LCD today, I’m still quite noob when it comes to serial. But I’m gonna put out some simple and easy to follow tutorials for stuff when I get the hang of it 🙂 Anyhow, here’s just…
My new project, is a simple led-strip which shows CPU load. 9 led’s are used for this, could have used more but my tiny breadboard couldn’t hold more. Anyhow, it uses serial communication to receive how much the totalcpu usage…
Look at it?! I just fell in love with it 😛 Also, 24$ isn’t bad. So if you’re considering the Arduino Nano, why not try this one instead? Features: ATmega328 running at 16MHz with external resonator (0.5% tolerance) On-board FTDI232…
Made a followup to my light tracker, except this one can go up and down. So it follows light in more directions than the other ones. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fw6ausjl9o&w=425&h=344] Made of some cheap plastic-foam, wont last forever but long enough for me…
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEhX27ahreI&w=480&h=385] This is how to make a simple light tracker/follower with the Arduino. The components you need apart from the Arduino is: 2x Photoresistors: “PHOTOCELL2 Miniature Photocell”. 2x 470 Ohms resistors. 1x Servo. And of course some wires, and a…
It’s always good to have servos that works like a geared motor. That also can go in both direction and speed is adjustable, it’s very handy in robotic project or general vehicles. The servo I’m using is a Mystery Micro…
