Adam Taylor, an embedded design expert, shows you how to load the open source SiFive Freedom E310 RISC-V processor on Digilent Arty A7-100T Xilinx Artix 7 Development Board and run the Arudino application
Simple setup enables a 2D radar to trigger a camera to capture an image of an approaching object (animal, person, vehicle).
*note* : for discussing any technical issues with your Load Cell Amplifier Shield, please proceed to our forum and create a new topic here. General Specifications Over the years, many RobotShop customers have asked us about the easiest way to interface a load cell with an Arduino board so they c…
Radar uses simple detection filtering to count people, vehicles, or other objects.
More and more people are starting to use what's called an "ESC" (Electronic Speed Controller) in robotic applications or DIY projects. These are low cost, readily available motor controllers that can drive brushed or brusless DC motors and most of the time are found in Radio Contro…
FMCW radar reports distances to multiple objects over a wide field of view.
Riverdi company is the leader in intelligent TFT display modules. We use cutting-edge technologies and the experience gained for years on the market, thus we can provide the best display solution for the specific application. The modularity of our products makes it possible to accomplish va…
Arduino is a 15-year-old brand and I believe that nowadays everyone with even a minor interest in technology may be owning one of these microcontroller boards. But how many of you are actually using it or have ever made a useful project with it? Sometimes the Arduino is abandoned on a shelf or lays…
Learn how to build your own IoT temperature logger with data uploaded to the cloud. This project uses itbrainpower.net dual SIM full-size GSM shield [a-gsmII] for data transmission (or itbrainpower.net dual SIM full-size GSM GNSS shield [b-gsmgnss]) and Dallas/Maxim 18B20 1wire temperature sensor.
The main purpose of this "how-to" article it is to guide you on how to make a convenient and elegant modular GSM or 3G hardware platform using an Arduino Pro Mini (and related) board, a j-328GSM3GLader Arduino Pro Mini adapter board and c-uGSM / d-u3G / h-nanoGSM modem shields. The purpose of a p…
Everyone has been eager to know when the LIDAR-Lite would return to market, so we are very happy to announce it is now available for pre-order: LIDAR-Lite v3. The second thing everyone was insistent on asking was: "Will this work with my previous setup/project/custom mounting/etc.?". I…
In this sixth and final installment of the "Make Your Own Arduino-Powered Deskbot Pal" you’ll discover ways to enhance your Desktop Pal by adding more sensors and other hardware. As a bonus, you’ll also learn how to implement a compact MP3 player to play recorded music and sound effects!
Desktop Pal is an animatronic friend, powered by an Arduino-compatible microcontroller and a small assortment of basic sensors. Using two servos for movement, Pal’s head moves up and down and side to side, reacting to objects that come nearby. In this installment you’ll learn how to program the De…
A common question concerning our Wheatstone bridge amplifier shield is "How can we stack two together with three or four load cells?" This is actually quite simple and only requires a few components...
In this fourth installment, endow your Desktop Pal with more sensors to increase its functionality. You’ll add a second ultrasonic sensor to enable your Pal to have a kind of "stereo" vision; a passive infrared (PIR) sensor to detect nearby motion, and even a "squawkbox", to give your Desktop Pal a…
In this third installment, learn how to effectively program the servos, ultrasonic sensor, and switch of your your Deskbot Pal for smooth, interactive action. In this installment of the Desktop Pal series, you'll learn a number of important Arduino sketch concepts, including interrupts, timers, sen…
