While building robotics projects, the importance of controllers and motors cannot be overstated. These components are the heart and soul of any robotic system, providing the necessary control and ...

This circuit is not the very latest in robotics, but it may be of interest to those of you involved in making little robots using popular and inexpensive components. The proposed idea is a ...

Building an animatronic robot is one thing, but animating it in a lifelike fashion is a completely different challenge. Hobby servos are cheap and popular for animatronics, but just letting it move at ...

You can read the state of a button using Arduino and a few lines of code. The actual state is shown in the Serial Monitor window as 0 or 1, 0 meaning the button is not pressed and 1 that the button is ...

This means that the servos stops and start very suddenly, moving as fast as they can between positions. In this video I'm going to show you two lines of very simple code to make things smoother.

There is no question that steering wheel mounted controls are super convenient. Reaching all the way over to the dashboard to change a radio station is so 1990’s. An ever-increasing percentage of new ...

My daughter likes buttons. She's learning letters. I was bored over winter break and had these parts laying around... so I built her a "Button Box" based around an Arduino. Open source, hackable, and ...

Pretty much every project I've done just lately has required me to test out some servos and experiment with their positions before they go into the assembly. I usually make a quick servo tester on a ...

Makers, hobbyists and electronics enthusiasts looking for a project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in a new DIY Arduino arcade game project which uses LEGO bricks and Arduino ...

DIY musical instruments are their own thing entirely, but if you're looking for a place to start, Adafruit has a guide to building your own MIDI controller using an Arduino. The OONTZ uses a 3D ...
