  • Arduino Robot Arm – LarryArm v0.1

    Arduino Robot Arm – LarryArm v0.1

    I have constructed a basic Arduino robot arm using 3 servos that cost me £15 in total plus a couple of hours in time to build and it’s very simple that I think anyone can replicate and build this. I already had the Arduino Duemilanove...

    11 Arduino Blogs for July

    In a bid to help other Arduino users find some inspiration and help I’ve written a brief round-up of the latest blogs I’ve seen/ read from the Arduino Forums feel free to send me links to your blogs for my next post. In no particular...

  • Arduino – Redefining the TV Remote

    Arduino – Redefining the TV Remote

    We use them every day, but has no one got bored of pressing buttons on a stick, it’s far too much effort pressing buttons! Surely there are better ways to control a device? After doing some work with my Nikon camera using IR to control...

  • Arduino – Controlling the Robot Arm

    Arduino – Controlling the Robot Arm

    So the arm is wired into Arduino as per the previous post, Arduino – Modifying a Robot Arm and hopefully this has worked. In this next part I alter the Arduino sketch slightly and write the first Processing sketch to test control of the arm...

  • Arduino – Modifying a Robot Arm

    Arduino – Modifying a Robot Arm

    Essentially another tutorial involving controlling DC motors. In this post I’m going to first alter a robot arm I had built previously from a beginners kit so that it can be controlled from Arduino. Then I’m going to write a series of posts on different...

  • Using Processing to Send Values using the Serial Port to Arduino

    Using Processing to Send Values using the Serial Port to Arduino

    In this write-up, I’ll show how to create a value in Processing and then send this value over the serial port to the Arduino. In the example I’m setting values of LEDs making them brighter or dimmed but this example can be extended to control...

  • Arduino + Processing – 3D Sensor Data Visualisation

    Arduino + Processing – 3D Sensor Data Visualisation

    So following on from my previous posts about visualising sensor data in Processing, I’m now looking at drawing 3D representations of the data recorded from the Sharp IR sensor – although can be any kind of range finder. I started by rigging 2 servos, one...

  • Arduino + Processing – Make a Radar Screen – Part 3: Visualising the Data from Sharp Infrared Range Finder

    Arduino + Processing – Make a Radar Screen – Part 3: Visualising the Data from Sharp Infrared Range Finder

    So I had some luck with getting the Sharp Infrared range finder working and I’ve now plugged this on to my servo rig to see if I get better results on my radar styled display. Check out how to use the Sharp IR range finder...

  • Arduino – Using a Sharp IR Sensor for Distance Calculation

    Arduino – Using a Sharp IR Sensor for Distance Calculation

    Well, looks like my sonar sensor (SRF05) is a just a tad inaccurate for precise measurement as I found from my radar screen I made (Arduino Radar Sscreen). So I’ve got hold of a Sharp GP2Y0A02 series infrared distance sensor. It’ll detect and measure anything...
