This is my first attempt at a robot. I started off with a Arduino Robot Kit from robotshop.com and modified it a bit from there. I used a Parallax Ping Ultrasound sensor connected to panning servo that rotates through 70 degrees.
Update 29 Jan 2008 All the ps2 functions have been put into a library, with examples of how to use it for a keyboard or a mouse. Get the ps2.zip file (down below) and unpack it in the hardware/libraries directory.
Hardware: got a PS2 female plug, soldered the wires as indicated in this post at arduino playground ( http://www.arduino.cc/playground/ComponentLib/Ps2mouse) and pluged a PS2 mouse on it; Software: used the library from the same post and two global variables to store X and Y absolute positions (since the library returns the relative position from zero).
Initially, any experience with programming [or electronics] tends to be characterized by frustration, confusion and amazement at the amount of time required to achieve very little. The Fundamentals of Digital Media With that said, learning physical computing and programming has never more accessable.
Introduction This is the Ardupilot Manual.
LedDisplay Library This library allows you to send text to an Avago HCMS-29xx LED display . The HCMS 29xx displays are pretty little displays that contain a row of 5x7 LED matrices.
I've had an Arduino Duemilanove now for a couple of weeks. If you're not familiar with the Arduino , it is " an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software ". It has a small microcontroller, a USB port to connect to your computer for programming, a power socket for providing power when the USB cable isn't connected, and various digital and analog input and output pins, for connecting up to leds, switches and various sensors.
The following outlines how to build a stand alone Arduino on a bread board.
The AeroQuad is an open-source hardware and software project dedicated to the construction of remote controlled four-rotor helicopters, also known as quadcopters or quadrocopters. The latest software also support additional multicopter configurations!
When whittling down the list of projects for Practical Arduino I never expected the Weather Station Receiver project to be one that gained so much attention.
The Arduino meets Processing project intends to make it as easy as possible for anyone to explore the world of physical computing. All you need is an Arduino board as well as the Arduino and Processing software, which you can download on their project websites. The Processing files have a DisplayItems class which paints a grid with values, a black or white background.
