Tutorials and resources to build your own Arduino controlled robot
ufactory released the new uArm Swift Pro robotic arm. The robotic arm is open-source, and as we expected, the arm is controlled by an Arduino Mega 2560 board. Besides the double price compared with the standard version uArm Swift, the … Read more →
Arduino is a good development board for reading data from various sensors and for controlling the robot’s DC motors. Raspberry Pi is a very good Linux computer running ROS. To benefit from both systems, the easiest way is to connect … Read more →
A few weeks ago I started writing a series of tutorials that ease the work of beginners in ROS. The first tutorial was about a template for a publisher node, the second tutorial was about a template for a subscriber … Read more →
I spent more than 20 hours studying and analyzing the best Arduino robot car kits. About Arduino, there is much to say, but the most important thing is why someone would use this board to control a mobile robot. As … Read more →
The applications that run on Raspberry Pi can’t always identify the serial port that belongs to each Arduino board. If we don’t use an identifier for each board, the serial port may change every time we disconnect or connect the … Read more →
This guide will walk you through how to install and setting up an Arduino board to work with Raspberry Pi 3 having in common ROS Kinetic. To walk through this guide, you must have a Raspberry Pi 3 with ROS … Read more →
What would be if farmers would become computer operators who just supervise the robots capable of working the land without the tractor’s operator intervention? The robots capable of doing autonomous activities in agriculture already exist and are prepared to take … Read more →
The recipe for Niryo One is as follows: 3D printing, Raspberry Pi 3, Arduino Mega, RAMPS 1.4, ROS (Robot Operating System), Linux Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi, and lots of open-source code. Let us study each feature: 3D printed: All the … Read more →
The sensor inputs are as important as the outputs. So, keeping the input voltage of the sensor at a constant level with a step-up/step-down voltage regulator is mandatory to have accurate measurements. In another tutorial, I have shown you how … Read more →
Even one failure of a sensor can result in a disaster for your robot. In this post, I explored the method to make accurate ADC readings with Arduino to eliminate the failures of analog sensors used in robotics applications. This … Read more →
