Arduino Contest Results!
The recent arduino contest that I ran with element14 has come to a close, and I’m very excited to announce the winners. Every last one of the submissions was extremely impressive, and I would highly recommend that you go check out all of the them on the element14 arduino video[…]
Tutorial 7 for Arduino: I2C and Processing
This tutorial was featured on the official Arduino blog on 3/9/2011 As promised, this week brings another communications tutorial! In this video, we’ll use both the serial and processing knowledge that we gained last week, plus an I2C enabled temperature-sensing IC. We’ll use processing to generate a pretty room temperature[…]
Tutorial 6 for Arduino: Serial Comm and Processing
This tutorial was featured on the official Arduino blog on 3/9/2011 The next four episodes are all about communicating between the Arduino and other devices. In this video, we’ll focus on communicating with the computer via a standard serial connection. We’ll be using a new programming language called “processing” to[…]
Tutorial 5 for Arduino: Motors and Transistors
This tutorial was featured on the official Arduino blog on 3/9/2011 This week, we’ll finally be using the Arduino to control some motors! First up, we’ll control a standard DC motor running off a 9V battery with the help of an NPN transistor and a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) signal[…]
Arduino Contest Update and Expert Status
The element14 Arduino contest that I announced a few weeks ago has had its deadline extended! You now have an extra two weeks to get your projects in. Make sure you post them in the element14 Arduino group, and as a response to my youtube video by February 14th! It’s[…]
Tutorial 4 for Arduino: Analog Inputs
This tutorial was featured on the official Arduino blog on 3/9/2011 This week is all about analog inputs for the arduino. I’ll show you how you can use a voltage divider circuit (see episode 3) and a variable resistor to make an analog sensor. We’ll also use a Sharp IR[…]
EE Basics in Tutorial 3 for Arduino
This tutorial was featured on the official Arduino blog on 3/9/2011 In this week’s arduino tutorial, we take a bit of a detour and focus on some key elements of electrical engineering design that we’ll be using in future episodes. Included amongst these topics is Ohm’s Law, current-limiting resistors, pull-down[…]
Arduino Design Contest – Win a Soldering Station!
Wanna win this soldering station from element14!? Check out the details in my video below, and submit your project to the element14 arduino group, and as a video response to my youtube video! I’ll even pick some of my favorites, and feature them in a video next month. Act fast[…]
Tutorial 2 for Arduino: Now with more Blinky Things!
This tutorial was featured on the official Arduino blog on 3/9/2011 That’s right folks, it’s Monday, and the second installment of my arduino tutorial series is here! I spent the last week in Disney World, but now that I’m back, it’s time to get down to business! This week, I’ll[…]
Tutorial Series for Arduino: It begins.
