This tutorial explains in an easy and intuitive way to help you understand the theory, design and implementation to make your own generator and sensor for a perimeter wire. The files (Schematics, Eagle Files, Gerbers, 3D Files and Arduino Sample Code) are also available for download. This way, y…
I made videos on YouTube and files on the thingiverse for a large dragon tower I somewhat designed. Enjoy!
Hello all! So I have had a pro B printer for a while probably around 4 or 5 years. Sorry I haven't done much for a review. I mostly describe my personal mistakes with it but today I am going to talk about the actual printer itself not what I did to get it to work.
RobotShop is thrilled to announce today the official launch of their new Community platform. This new platform can be considered as the most complete community platform available for anyone interested in robotics and what it can bring to our world.
RoboCup 2018 is set to take place in Montreal from June 18 to 22 at the Palais des Congres. Around 4000 participants from 35 countries will compete in a variety of challenges to see which robots are the most versatile and intelligent.
Hello everyone, Seán as usual. This is the third and final chapter of a journey where my team and I had to build, fly and compete in a drone racing event (click to read the first and second chapters). It has now been about a week since the national finals of Syndic8. We entered the competitio
Hi, this is Seán again. So it has been a while since the first post of our journey in drone racing and a lot has happened since then. The national competition will be on the 15th of May (only 5 days away from when I'm writing this. Yikes!). So let's get right down to it. Why are we competing in Dr
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…
Hi, my name is Seán Tjong! My friends and I are entering a drone competition as part of our school curriculum. We've decided to document our adventures in drone building and racing. We're excited to write and share our project's journal on RobotShop's Blog. We will update you on a regular basis on
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.
Do you miss the games of your childhood? What if you could build your own retro console with a Raspberry Pi and an NES-inspired case? In this very easy tutorial, we'll teach you how to use a Raspberry PI with the Nespi case and the RetroPie OS to create your own retro console center capable of emul…
Drive Motor Sizing The Drive Motor Sizing Tool is intended to give an idea of the type of drive motor required for your specific robot by taking known values and calculating values required when searching for a motor. DC motors are generally used for continuous rotation drive systems.
For robots, being able to understand or navigate their environment is often critical to functioning properly. While there are plenty of sensors that allow robots to glimpse their surroundings, one category of sensors that is rapidly gaining popularity is light and laser-based (LiDAR) distance me…
