Tutorial - Parallax Ping))) Ultrasonic Sensor Sense distance with ultrasonic sensors in chapter forty-five of a series originally titled “Getting Started/Moving Forward with Arduino!” by John Boxall – a series of articles on the Arduino universe. The first chapter is here, the complete series is detailed here. Updated 05/02/2013 Whilst being a passenger in a vehicle with a ‘reversing sensors’, I became somewhat curious as to how the sensors operated and how we can make use of them. So for this chapter we will investigate an ultrasonic sensor from Parallax called the Ping)))™ Ultrasonic Distance Sensor. (Memories of Number Five …) Parallax have done a lot of work, the board contains not just the bare sensor hardware but controller circuitry as well: Which is great as it leaves us with only three pins – 5V, GND and signal. How does it work? Good question. The Ping))) only measures a distance when requested – to do this we send a very short HIGH pulse of five microseconds to the signal pin. How do we use it with Arduino? Like this:

Hardware Hacking Mx | Lección 6 – Raspberry Pi – Primeros pasos con Python en IDLE Python es un lenguaje de programación muy utilizado al rededor del mundo gracias a su gran capacidad y a su facilidad de aprendizaje. Python cuenta con numerosas herramientas que permiten un rápido desarrollo de software. Además Python fue adoptado como lenguaje de programación que utiliza la Raspberry Pi para aprender a programar y su razón ha sido la gran documentación y herramientas que tiene, además como ya habíamos comentado es muy fácil de aprender. El propósito de esta lección es aprender lo más básico de python y empezar a utilizar algunas herramientas que tiene la Raspi para utilizar Python. En esta lección nos vamos a enfocar en el uso del IDLE con el que cuenta nuestro Raspberry Pi. Y ahora tendremos una ventana como la siguiente donde vamos a hacer nuestro primer “Hola mundo!” print("Hola mundo!") y damos enter para que se ejecute la linea de código que acabamos de escribir Hagamos una operación algo más compleja Para eso vamos a seguir usando el mismo IDLE.

10 places where anyone can learn to code Teens, tweens and kids are often referred to as “digital natives.” Having grown up with the Internet, smartphones and tablets, they’re often extraordinarily adept at interacting with digital technology. But Mitch Resnick, who spoke at TEDxBeaconStreet, is skeptical of this descriptor. Sure, young people can text and chat and play games, he says, “but that doesn’t really make you fluent.” Mitch Resnick: Let's teach kids to code Fluency, Resnick proposes in this TED Talk, comes not through interacting with new technologies, but through creating them. The point isn’t to create a generation of programmers, Resnick argues. In his talk, Resnick describes Scratch, the programming software that he and a research group at MIT Media Lab developed to allow people to easily create and share their own interactive games and animations. At Codecademy, you can take lessons on writing simple commands in JavaScript, HTML and CSS, Python and Ruby. While we’re at it: bonus!

Explore Technology Click on the weights to move them ON or OFF the scale. Can you add them up to match what's in the pink box? If you don't see the activity above, please download the latest Flash Player. You can do it! In a way, the binary number is telling you how many of each of the weights is ON the scale. Computers can't count the way people do. This activity shows you how just five things being ON and OFF can let you keep track of 32 different numbers. More information about how computers use ON and OFF to represent information can be found at Intel's web site, The Journey Inside. Measuring with Computers This is one way to figure out the weight of the mystery box. Put the biggest weight ON.If it's too big, take it OFF. That's how computers do it! Computers go through exactly that set of steps every time they measure something. The box in this example is always a round number, but that isn't always the case in real life.
