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 + 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 – (Very) Basic motion tracking with 2 PIR sensors
Posted on July 24, 2009 | 26 CommentsTook me a little while to get started but I’ve managed to wire 2 PIR infrared sensors with an Arduino to sense motion either on the left or on the right side. The result will trigger an LED to represent each PIR sensor then I... -
Controlling a Servo with Arduino
Posted on June 5, 2009 | 2 CommentsVery simple basics of building a circuit to control a servo using Arduino and PWM For this you will need: Arduino Board – I’m using a Duemilanova ATMEGA328 Arduino Sketch software – I’m using version 0015 Arduino Servo Library found here save it to <arduino...
