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 – Modifying a Robot Arm
Posted on January 24, 2010 | 19 CommentsEssentially 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... -
Arduino – Control a DC motor with TIP120, potentiometer and multiple power supplies
Posted on July 10, 2009 | 4 CommentsA quick circuit showing how to control the speed of a DC motor with a potentiometer with your Arduino board. Also shows how to use a TIP120 transistor to allow the Arduino control a larger power supply. Transistors are 3 pin devices, which via the... -
Control a DC motor with Arduino and L293D chip
Posted on July 7, 2009 | 5 CommentsThis is a quick guide with a bit of extra info (pin configurations etc..) that I’ve learnt along the way on how to use the L293D with the Arduino, showing that we can: A) Use a supplemental power source to power the DC motor B)...
