Tools for the DIY enthusiast have evolved quite a lot over the past century, evolving from a simple set of hand tools to the sophisticated 3D printers seen today. If we look back just a few years, the MakerBot Thing-O-Matic was quite revolutionary in the industry, though still quite hard to use. Ma…
This lesson will help you choose and install a sensor for detecting objects. There are plenty of sensors that can do object detection, each offering different pros and cons, so you need to decide which one will fit your project best. When choosing a sensor, you need to ask yourself how you&rsquo…
Donc, vous cherchez à vous lancer dans les drones et les UAV? Cette série de didacticiels est conçue pour vous aider à comprendre le domaine émergeant des UAVs et à vous guider à travers les processus de la construction de votre propre UAV en util…
This post explains the different steps necessary to use a MultiWii compatible board for two axis servo-based stabilization. Many people try to make projects that require stabilization and don't really want to have to worry about programming; fortunately MultiWii comes to the rescue and helps you ge…
The AUVSI Foundation is well known for running many international student robotics competitions. The RoboSub competition is one of the largest outdoor international competitions that has been running annually since 1998. In this competition, university students must build a fully autonomous robot…
Phidgets supports a variety of languages, but before you start programming, you'll need to get the library for the language you like working in, which can be found on the language pages on Phidgets.com. While you're there, you'll also find the code examples and an in-depth API.
Phidgets are easy to use sensors and controllers for programmers. After just a bit of coding, you'll have your computer connected to the real world via an assortment of sensors as well as motors, relays, remote control, RFID, LEDs and more! But first, you'll need to get the drivers i
RobotShop and DSP Robotics just launched some new apps to get Phidgets quickly working on your computer. These apps are made with FlowBotics Studio, the new robotics software development platform. The new apps make it really easy to use Phidgets (you don't even need to install the Phidgets driver
FlowBotics Studio is a powerful graphical programming software which helps you easily create programs which interface with external hardware. One important feature of FlowBotics Studio is that you can also create stand-alone executable (.exe) programs which can be installed and used by others who d…
Each year, Make has an online summer camp covering many topics relevant for makers. This year's Maker Camp in currently in full swing (July 7th-August 15th) and includes many interactive discussions on Google Hangout. Last week's theme was Science & Technology, and it covered electron…
Lynxmotion's AL5D robot arm kit has been an integral part of Project Lead The Way's (PLTW) Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) curriculum, allowing the students to practice robot programming and assembly line design using an affordable hobby robot arm kit. RobotShop has been working with PLT…
Leap Motion Gesture Controller RobotShop recently received samples of the new Leap Motion gesture input device and see incredible potential for use with manipulating virtual objects as well as for control or physical robots. When you first see the Leap Motion device on its own, it's almost impo…
Robot Construction Kits can be distinguished from normal robot kits since they use modular parts and allow you to assemble different robots using the same parts. A robot kit on the other hand only allows you to build one robot. Robot construction kits are a great investment because they tend to inc…
In this tutorial we are going to cover Data Acquisition boards (or DAQ’s as they are better known) and how to program them using FlowBotics Studio which uses the FlowStone graphical programming language inside. Data acquisition devices form the basis of most robotics systems obtai
Some of you may have hear about Scout -- The Autonomous Transatlantic Robot. She is a 12-foot long robotic solar-powered boat designed and built by 7 college/university students from the USA. She was launched in August 2013 from Rhode Island and programmed to autonomously cross the Atlantic Ocean…
Barobo Linkbot Barobo's Linkbot all-in-one smart actuators allow anyone without any knowledge of robotics to create and "program" robots. Each actuator is packed with many features including: • Atmel AVR Microcontroller: Compatible with Arduino so you can re-flash with your own firmware usin
