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... -
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 + 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... -
Arduino & Processing – Getting values from SRF05 ultrasound sensor & serial port
Posted on August 5, 2009 | 2 CommentsI’ve started to delve into Processing and passing values between Processing and Arduino. If you’re wondering what Processing is, basically its an open source programming language for vizualising data that can interface with Arduino either by reading values/ pins or by setting them. Just remember...
