Arduino

  Description: In this project, Arduino first encodes the remote signals and decodes them to control LED brightness. First of all, connect the Infrared sensor as shown in the picture below. Then, press keys 0 through 4; Arduino stores the values for keys 0 through 4 and when the sketch runs, key 0 turns off the LED and the brightness of the LED increases in steps when keys 1 through 4 are pressed. Connect LED to PIN 9 and connect output PIN of Infrared sensor to PIN 2. HOW TO USE INFRARED...

Description:  This project lets you know about Infrared. The LED connected on pin 13 of Arduino toggles each time a remote button is pressed. It should work with normal TV/VCD remote.Before you make this project, I strongly recommend you to make a basic remote tester with some basic electronic components. This is the fundamental circuit for controlling your home appliances. For controlling home appliances operating at 220V, you need to connect a relay in place of LED. HOW TO USE A RELAY? For...

Project Description: This project gives you the basic ideas for making a robot using Amarino and Arduino. You can control your robot with Android Smart Phone. You can easily move the robot forward, backward and rotate in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions.It is one of the easiest methods of building a robot. This project has been derived from the book " Arduino + Android Projects for the Evil Genius: Control Arduino with Your Smartphone or Tablet ", written by Simon Monk. Required...

Sparkfun.com has recently released a simple, easy and useful robot platform for robotics amateurs. It is called "Magician Chassis". You can use the chassis for different kinds of robots, for example, line sensing, obstacle detecting and smart phone controlled robots. I have recently published an easy project about smart phone controlled robot. I have also used Magician Chassis on my project. I recommend this chassis for robotics amateurs and novices because it is cheaper than other products I have...

Before making an Arduino programmer on breadboard using FT232RL, you need to know about arduino, breadboard and USB to serial FT232RL break out board. If you are an electronic novice, I recommend you to visit www.ldrengineering.org to get ideas on building simple electronic projects on breadboard. You need following components for making an arduino programmer: a. Breadboard b. Reset or tactile switch c. LED- any color d. 330R, 10K, 100R resistors- 1/4 watt e. 0.1uF,...

DOWNLOAD  This arduino code This article is nothing but only the revision of previously published articles about sending data from Nokia N900 and Android Phone to Arduino. In this experiment, you will see numbers increasing on Serial Monitor of Arduino and same numbers will be seen on Android interface also. If you have never done this kind of experiment, I recommend you to read these articles first: Click on the given links so that you will know the required components and setups for doing this...

With this experimental setup you can send some text messages from your android phone to arduino and vice versa. Basically, whatever you can see on Arduino's Serial Monitor can also be seen on the interface of Bluetooth Application that I will recommend on this article. The recommended application for this experiment is S2 Bluetooth. You can get this application for FREE. You can try this experiment with some other FREE applications also.

Some posts on this site are about serial communication between Nokia N900 and arduino. You can read about transferring data between Nokia N900 and arduino from this link: http://www.circuit-blog.com/how-to-use-nokia-n900-and-arduino-for-controlling-electronic-devices/ This time I am going to share 3 extremely useful and FREE applications that can be used for serial data transfer between your android phone and arduino. Read about a simple experiment from this link: http://www.circuit-blog.com/bluetooth-communication-between-android-and-arduino-using-free-applications/ You...

This tutorial is for novices who have never made any Android application or worked with amarino. We need following components/equipments for this experiment: a. Android Smart Phone- I am using ZTE Blade. See the operating system specifications on the given link. Quite cheap and good looking. b. Arduino Duemilanova ATmega 328 c. Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers d. Androidsdk e. Amarino Toolkit f. Bluetooth Modem – Bluesmirf Gold g. Potentiometer,  Temperature Sensor,...

Here's an LCD shield for the arduino board. It is very very simple to use. You can watch the video of the output. #include // initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins LiquidCrystal lcd(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7); void setup() { // set up the LCD's number of rows and columns: lcd.begin(16, 2); // Print a message to the LCD. lcd.print("Hello, world!"); } void loop() { // set the cursor to column 0, line 1 // (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins...
