The Lynxmotion Quadrino Nano Flight Controller (with GPS) was originally designed as a flight controller for drones but, it also has awesome applications for robotic rovers too. Composed of an ATmega2560 (Arduino Mega Chipset), a collection of sensors, GPS and a host of I/O options it is an ideal "…
An easy tutorial to show you how to log and plot weight measurements from a Load Cell using the PhidgetBridge and the corresponding FlowBotics App.
Comment faire un drone/UAV - Leçon 8 : Avion L'utilisation de petits avions sans pilote pour FPV et cartographie autonome est de plus en plus populaire, surtout compte tenu de l'engouement pour les multirotors FPV et de la disponibilité croissante de pièces. Cet…
This tutorial is about the connection between a Lynxmotion Quadrino Nano and the DFRobot LED Ring. Some folks around the MultiWii project (software that runs inside the Quadrino Nano) developed a piece of software to get visual feedback from the flight controller to an available LED ring.
About two years ago, we had an unfortunate surprise. Our little five-year-old boy was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Not only was the hit very hard on our family, but ten days later, our youngest son had developed the same disease (two out of three of our children). This post will explain how we i…
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…
Most designers looking to make a small to medium sized mobile robot quickly discover that there are very few standards in the hobby robot industry, to the point that connecting products together is quite a complex design challenge. This article covers mostly mechanical patterns found in hubs and co…
We often get user requests for a way to datalog movement as well as GPS position, but did not have a proper DIY solution other than saying that they need to implement a few sensors and define a protocol to get all the information stored to a storage solution. Then we looked around since we knew our
