Tutorials and resources to build your own Arduino controlled robot
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 →
When a group of engineers at Ericsson invented in 1994 the Bluetooth technology, probably no one could not have imagined the impact on connecting people and things. They don’t imagine that makes happy millions of makers. They don’t even know … Read more →
Servo motors are largely used in robotics for precise control. Anyone – well, almost anyone – has mobile devices with Bluetooth connection capabilities. In this tutorial, you will find how to wirelessly control a servo motor with an Arduino UNO … Read more →
The most powerful educational kits for learning robotics and electronics are the ones kids love to use. Something magical happens when you give your little boy and girl one of these kits. They can create unique projects for personal learning … Read more →
This is a simple autonomous robot able to detect and avoid obstacles. I use a cheap 4WD robot platform (You can use any of these platforms), an Arduino UNO($18.59 on Amazon), and a cheap HC-SR04 sensor (2 pieces at $2.83 … Read more →
