arduino for beginners – behind the fundamentals – Part 4

Image
This tutorial is about arduino and we going to learn some basics things together. In this Part we going see what is behind the fundamentals. Sending input from the serial console to the arduino:   To send inputs from the Serial Monitor to the arduino, we need to use the Serial.read() function, and as example we make a Morse code generator take the serial inputs and generate them on light and sound using LED and buzzer. In this experiment we need: -1 LED. -1 Buzzer. -6 Wires. -220 Ohm Resistor. -BreadBoard. -Arduino Uno. And This code: Morse_buzzer_led See The Arduino for Beginners Tutorials

arduino for beginners – Adding Components – Part 3

Image
This tutorial is about arduino and we going to learn some basics things together. In this Part we going add Components. Adding an LED:   -1 LED. -2 Wires. -220 Ohm Resistor. -BreadBoard. -Arduino Uno And This Code:  Led_on This will Turn the LED On for Ever . Fading an LED’s brightness with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM):   In this experiment we going see how to increase and decrease LED’s brightness with PWM, by using analogWrite() function. -1 LED. -2 Wires. -220 Ohm Resistor. -BreadBoard. -Arduino Uno And This Code: Led_pwm   Turn the led on/off using a push button:     In this experiment we going see how to turn on/off the LED using a push button. So we need: -1 LED. -1 Push Button. -6 Wires. -220 Ohm Resistor. -10 Khm  Resistor. -BreadBoard. -Arduino Uno And This code: led_button Fading an LED with PWM based on Potentiometer value:   In this experiment we going see how ...

Let's play with arduino : Building an Autonomous Car Platform

Image
Tthose steps taken from Instructable   What is PiCar? PiCar is an open sourced autonomous car platform. It isn’t autonomous by itself, but you can easily add sensors to control the car with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Why use PiCar instead of an RC car? Using PiCar is very similar to using an RC car as a platform. However, PiCar gives you more control and is easier to modify than an RC car. The chassis for the PiCar is 3D printed, and you can easily edit the 3D model to add more space in the car if needed. In addition, all of the parts are either easily available online or can be 3D printed. Who made PiCar? PiCar was designed at Washington University in St. Louis in the lab of Humberto Gonzalez and Silvia Zhang. The car was designed in May of 2017 and was entered into a robotics competition in June. The PiCar came in the top 10 out of 30+ international teams in the Silk Road Robotics Innovations Competition at Xi'an Jiaotong University in Xi...
