Processing Controls R/C Car with XBee modules. The presentation was divided into two parts, first part was about my few past works: Wireless (Bluetooth) Control Pop-BotMake Wired Robotic Arm Edge to "Wireless" with DIY Arduino + XBee andWireless Finger Drum,XB-Buddy and XB-Buddy Basic Kits And introduced a new project.

Processing Controls R/C Car with XBee modules

(this instructable - Processing Controls R/C Car with Wireless XBee modules) Second part, was an in-depth workshop on working with the XBee configuration, the Processing's Serial library, Arduino's Serial and SoftwareSerial library. In case, if you want to build the project, below are the list of Hardware, Software and Parts.

Build your own Custom Arduino Remote Control and Lego RC Vehicle!! Why Are LEGO Sets Expensive? I’m not sure I would say LEGO blocks are that expensive, but the statement is that they are expensive because they are so well made.

Why Are LEGO Sets Expensive?

Really, this has to at least be partially true. If you take some blocks made in 1970, they still fit with pieces made today. That is quite impressive. But the real question is: what is the distribution of LEGO sizes? How does this distribution of sizes compare to other toys? Here is the plan. Here is my first set of data. These 88 measurements have an average of 15.814 mm with a standard deviation of 0.0265 mm. What about older LEGO pieces? Fortunately, I found one of my original sets from the late 70s. v. Connecting a Lego NXT motor to the Arduino - ROBOTC API Guide. Ardunxt - Arduino based Lego Mindstorms NXT universal Remote Control Interface.

An interface between Lego Mindstorms NXT and standard remote control receivers, servos and ESCs, with failsafe capability.

ardunxt - Arduino based Lego Mindstorms NXT universal Remote Control Interface

This enables software to be run on the NXT (e.g. written in Mindstorms NXT or RobotC) which can take input from the remote control receiver and other Mindstorms sensors and can control both the Mindstorms motors and standard remote control servos and Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) e.g. to implement an autopilot for a UAV or other autonomous robot. If you download and try any of this code please send a message to Christopher Barnes at DIY Drones to tell us of your interest and let us know how you get on.

The software is written using the arduino environment to run on an Atmel AVR ATMega328 micrcontroller. It was most recently built with Arduino version 0022. This is a DIYDrones.com development team project. Hardware will be available to run this software on, based on a derivative of Ardupilot. LEDs The LEDs have the following functions on the prototype hardware: LEGO. To make all of these Instructables, download this collection of How To’s as an ebook.

Download » LEGO, LEGO, everywhere! Almost all of us grew up with this classic building block. Whether you made houses, airports, spaceships or pirate ships, there's few construction toys as versatile as LEGO. LEGO blocks aren't just for building miniature versions of your favourite buildings, it's also a great prototyping tool and can be used for all kinds of things like jewelry, computer cases, geometric shapes and tape dispensers.

Il a créé quelques excellents logiciels de commande pour les moteurs et les capteurs Lego NXT en utilisant le microcontrôleur Arduino. Lego NXT robot Controlled by Arduino Comme vous pouvez le voir dans la vidéo ci-dessous, il utilise le Multiplexeur de Capteurs pour moteurs NXT associé à un Seeeduino compatible Arduino pour commander un petit robot fait de pièces de Lego NXT, d’encodeurs de lecture NXT et de bien d’autres composants. Vous pouvez trouver tout le code utile pour l’Arduino sur la page du projet d’appareils NXT I2C pour Arduino. Les perspectives ainsi rendues envisageables sont sans fin.
