But I had many difficulties doing an installation in Windows 7, even following the step-by-step guides. Then I would write a step-by-step procedure that is as simple as possible. The information sources that I used are : This installation is working in windows 7 (32 and 64 bit) with Processing 1.5. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. C:\opencv\build\x64\vc10\bin\C:\opencv\build\x64\vc10\lib\C:\opencv\build\common\tbb\intel64\vc10\ If the win7 32bit version the directory are with x86 instead of x64. Arduino - Nightly. My older son recently started school and needed his own desk for doing homework.

I wanted to make something nicer than a simple tabletop with legs, and realized that I could also build in a bit of fun for when the homework is finished. Both my boys and I still had space travel on our minds from our summer trip to Kennedy Space Center. For this desk project, I decided to go with a NASA theme. I researched the Apollo Program as well as NASA's Mission Control Center, and designed my own console roughly based on those. I say "roughly" because the actual Mission Control does more monitoring than controlling, and isn't awash in the whiz-bang rocket noises young kids appreciate. The desk resides under my son's loft bed (which I also built), and stays closed until the homework is finished: When playtime begins, the lid flips up to reveal the Mission Control console: As I mentioned in the video, I painted the underside of the lid with magnetic primer.

arduino intro

Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board. Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs. Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can communicate with software running on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.)

The Arduino programming language is an implementation of Wiring, a similar physical computing platform, which is based on the Processing multimedia programming environment. Environment - Nightly. (redirected from Main.Environment) The Arduino development environment contains a text editor for writing code, a message area, a text console, a toolbar with buttons for common functions, and a series of menus.

How to make your first robot using arduino. Need to get started with robotics ?

How to make your first robot using arduino

Heres a step by step tutorial on how to make your first robot using arduino,an open source development platform. P.S :The method used for chassis construction is just an example and a quick way for making a robot.You can use any design for the robot and also any materials for mounting the parts.Your imagination is the limit. Now lets get started Materials needed 1 x Arduino uno/duemilanove. The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328.You can read more details here. Servos are basically Dc motors with position feedback that means you can tell the microcontroller through your code to move the servo to the desired position.In arduino a standard servo can be moved between 0 to 180 degree and 90 is the servo center(makes sense).Most of the hobby servos run happily between 4.8V to 6V.Supplying more than 6V may damage your servo.

Servo has three wires i.e.Brown,Red,Yellow or the color maybe Black,Red,White. 1 x Breadboard 1 x L293D motor driver.
