How to make your first robot If you have purchased an "Instant Robot" shield, you can find a project using that shield here. If you prefer the instructions in a single PDF, Dominic / Servello has made this nice PDF to download - Thanks :) Welcome :) Everything here is so easy, that after you have gone through it, you can make a robot in a couple of hours. Why can't you do that now? Because there are so many little things you need to know. There are other "How to get started building robots" out there. All images in high-res here. Materials needed It used to be a hassle to buy the materials, because not one single webshop was carrying everything needed, and you had to buy from several shops. Good news is that Solarbotics now have made a kit for these instructions: Solarbotics shop (Webshop, located in Canada) - And if you buy it there, you even support hosting of letsmakerobots.com - because in order to be on the list above, the shops contacted us, and we made a deal :D (The following is all included in the bundle) Yes. main:
Mikrocontroller Als Mikrocontroller (auch µController, µC, MCU) werden Halbleiterchips bezeichnet, die einen Prozessor und zugleich auch Peripheriefunktionen enthalten. In vielen Fällen befindet sich auch der Arbeits- und Programmspeicher teilweise oder komplett auf demselben Chip. Ein Mikrocontroller ist ein Ein-Chip-Computersystem. Auf modernen Mikrocontrollern finden sich häufig auch komplexe Peripheriefunktionen wie z. Mikrocontroller im Keramikgehäuse mit Quarzglasfenster Einsatzbereiche[Bearbeiten] Mikrocontroller sind in Leistung und Ausstattung auf die jeweilige Anwendung angepasst. Abgrenzung zu Mikroprozessoren[Bearbeiten] Rockwell R6511 Mikrocontroller, basierend auf dem 6502 Die Grenze zwischen Mikrocontrollern und Mikroprozessoren ist fließend, was sich auch darin zeigt, dass oft nach einiger Zeit auch Mikrocontroller-Varianten einer neuen Mikroprozessor-Architektur erschienen sind. Teilweise werden Mikrocontroller auch als Bestandteil eines Multi Chip Modules (MCM) verwendet.
MotorShield Kit Make: Projects Make your Arduino a nice tidy platform for robotics and mechatronics with the MotorShield. Power up and control your servos, bi-directional DC motors, and stepper motors in all kinds of combinations. Arduino is a great starting point for electronics, and with a motor shield it can also be a nice tidy platform for robotics and mechatronics. 2 connections for 5V "hobby" servos connected to the Arduino’s high-resolution dedicated timer — no jitter! Get your MotorShield kit from Maker Shed and build it in a couple hours, following the instructions here. Then download the easy-to-use Arduino software library and you’re ready to go!
64 RGB-LED Couchtisch | Arduino Microcontroller Dieser Tisch wurde mit einem Arduino, 12 TLC5940 Chips und 64 RGB LEDs gebaut. Der Macher heisst Edo und kommt aus Hamburg. Die Idee hört sich ganz gut an und die Kosten scheinen sehr überschaubar zu sein. Man sieht ja oft solche Tische die mit ShiftBrights gebaut wurden und dann direkt ein paar hunder Dollar kosten. Gefunden hab ich das bei Hacked Gadgets. Parts & Kits for Arduino Online, Buy Microcontroller Boards, Electronic Components for Arduino - Welcome - Freetronics Calibration Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Examples > Analog I/O Calibration This example demonstrates one techinque for calibrating sensor input. The Arduino takes sensor readings for five seconds during the startup, and tracks the highest and lowest values it gets. These sensor readings during the first five seconds of the sketch execution define the minimum and maximum of expected values for the readings taken during the loop. Hardware Required Arduino board (1) LED (1) analog sensor (a photocell will do) (1) 10K ohm resistor (1) 220 ohm resistor breadboard hook-up wire Circuit Analog sensor (e.g. potentiometer, light sensor) on analog input 2. click the image to enlarge image developed using Fritzing. Connect an LED to digital pin 9 with a 220 ohm current limiting resistor. Schematic Code Before the setup, you set initial values for the minimum and maximum like so: int sensorMin = 1023; // minimum sensor valueint sensorMax = 0; // maximum sensor value These may seem backwards.

Liudr's Blog Welcome to Micro4you Studio - Creative Fun Factory An Online Opensource Robot and Hardware Shop A Trip to Maker Faire Shen Zhen, 2014 The past weekend has witnessed another giant meetup of makers across the globe. At SheKou, a costal area of Shenzhen, the “city of manufacturing”, this two-day event has aroused over 100 dedicated groups of makers to showcase their projects to the coming audience. Being one among them, Team DFRobot take this chance to recall and share what we’ve seen and heard during this trip. Before the Show Thanks to the incorrect weather forecast, we enjoyed a couple of sunny days before Maker Faire Shenzhen, and took visits to some local “spots of interest”. Maker Faire Shenzhen The “Great Show $ Tell” begins with an enormous Bumblebee, standing at the entrance of plaza, fenced off.

Maker Faire New York Debrief - News by Emcee Grady | October 06, 2010 | 8 comments Share Use this URL to share: Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Google+ As you may have known, Maker Faire New York has come and gone and SparkFun was in attendance. It was awesome! We saw some amazing projects, met some great people, and just generally had a wonderful time. One of our favorite things to do at Maker Faire is meet and talk with some of our customers. A pair of happy young soldering gurus! We also ran soldering workshops! Playing the SparkFun "Snake Stomp" game. We hope those who made it out to Maker Faire had as much fun as we did!
Open source hardware Open source hardware consists of physical artifacts of technology designed and offered by the open design movement. Both free and open source software (FOSS) as well as open source hardware is created by this open source culture movement and applies a like concept to a variety of components. The term usually means that information about the hardware is easily discerned. Since the rise of reconfigurable programmable logic devices, sharing of logic designs has been a form of open source hardware. Licenses[edit] The RepRap general-purpose 3D printer with the ability to make copies of most of its own structural parts Rather than creating a new license, some open source hardware projects simply use existing, free and open source software licenses.[1] Despite superficial similarities to software licenses, most hardware licenses are fundamentally different: by nature, they typically rely more heavily on patent law than on copyright law. Noteworthy licenses include: Development[edit] See also[edit]
Elektronik wie Handy, Notebook o. iPhone verkaufen - Ankauf FLIP4NEW The MacBook Air Samsung SSD is about to get twice as fast I had a chance to meet with Samsung Storage solutions at CES 2012 this week and got the low down on its new OEM SSDs that Apple tends to buy in large numbers. Samsung and Toshiba are the OEMs that provide the SSDs in MacBook Airs. Samsung’s 470 OEM SSD product is noticeably faster than the Toshiba model that Apple also puts in otherwise identical MacBook Airs. We have talked about the speed difference before and how Air-buyers often will pay a premium for the faster Samsung drives. Well, the speed difference is about to get even more noticeable. Samsung told me that it sold out of the 470 series OEM SSDs late last year and the company only makes a much faster variety: the 830 series. How fast is the 830 Series controller/chips? Samsung stopped short of announcing it is shipping the 830s to Apple, but the company confirmed it ran out of 470s a while ago and all of its SSD customers were receiving the updated 830 series. Theoretically, a few things could happen at this point…
