  • 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...

    Obstacle avoidance Arduino robot – build your own larryBot

    So after 5 previous versions that had various flaws, I now have an Arduino robot that actually works and although basic is very cheap – although there a probably a few more flaws so please point them out to me but this is a good...

    larryBot – Arduino robot versions 0.1 to 0.5 lessons learned

    So I’ve decided to build a robot using Arduino to control the sensors. Here’s my progress so far – I am hoping that my mistakes here and over the coming posts will guide people in more detail about what to avoid. Also I won’t provide...

  • Control a DC motor with Arduino and L293D chip

    Control a DC motor with Arduino and L293D chip

    This 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)...
