Arduino Robot Arm – LarryArm v0.1
Posted on July 14, 2010 | 6 CommentsI 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... -
Arduino – Redefining the TV Remote
Posted on June 13, 2010 | 2 CommentsWe 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
Posted on February 10, 2010 | 32 CommentsSo 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... -
Using Processing to Send Values using the Serial Port to Arduino
Posted on December 24, 2009 | 5 CommentsIn 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
Posted on December 15, 2009 | 22 CommentsSo 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
Posted on November 17, 2009 | 4 CommentsSo 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
Posted on November 17, 2009 | 13 CommentsWell, 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... -
Arduino + Processing – Make a Radar Screen to Visualise Sensor Data from SRF-05 – Part 2: Visualising the Data
Posted on November 15, 2009 | 16 CommentsThis is where all the work is done to read an interpret the values from the servo and the sensor. If the readings are to erratic then you won’t have nice shapes. Also if you don’t allow enough time to the signals to be sent... -
Arduino + Processing – Make a Radar Screen to Visualise Sensor Data from SRF-05 – Part 1: Setting up the Circuit and Outputting Values
Posted on November 15, 2009 | 6 CommentsFirst things first, we need to build our circuit. This is the easy bit! We’ll be using the Arduino to control a servo that will rotate our sensor around 180 degrees. The Arduino will then send the value from the distance sensor along with the... -
Arduino – Basic Theremin meets Processing!
Posted on November 7, 2009 | 5 CommentsMy last theremin involved a small speaker. Now I’ve replaced the speaker with my PC, using processing to pick up the values from the SRF05 ultrasound sonar distance sensor and play different notes accordingly – which gives multiple possibilities and far better sounds. So to...
