How-To Tuesday: Arduino 101 potentiometers and servos


Check out makershed.com for a complete line of Arduino products. This is the 3rd installment of my Aduino How-To Tuesdays. This week I am going to cover using another basic part, the potentiometer. I will also cover connecting a servo to the Arduino. Servos can be hard to control, but not with the Arduino! That's just another reason why I love this little micro-controller.

How-to Tuesday: Fun with the Arduino Starter Kit


This week I made a project with parts from the Arduino Starter Kit. I skipped over building the Proto Shield from the kit, since I made a how-to a while back. Otherwise, it's a simple build that doesn't require any soldering. Check out makezine.com for more information and the code. blog.makezine.com

How-to Tuesday: Arduino 101 the LED


More information is available at blog.makezine.com This week I am going to be starting a series about getting started with the Arduino. A few weeks ago I posted a quick how-to on using a force sensor and received a lot of positive feedback. This led me to the idea of a creating a series of how-to's about our favorite little micro-controller, the Arduino. We have lots of Arduino's in the Maker Shed www.makershed.com

Arduino Park


A guided tour of the Arduino Uno. This is a really basic and I hope somewhat humorous introduction to the layout of the Arduino board and some of its functions. The Arduino is open-source and the images are my own or downloaded from public domain stuff in the Google Sketchup 3D Warehouse. Music is royalty-free from Kevin MacLeod. More info on the Arduino is at www.arduino.cc My strange blog is at http I don't know why the Arduino board looks square on Youtube. ***CORRECTIONS*** I have been informed of a couple errors, that actually there is another clock chip that runs the microcontroller, the one they're standing on is for something else. Also, shields connect via the headers not prongs. . I'm planning to redo the video very soon, just hoping for more corrections of things I didn't catch. Maybe also next time I can speak better and make the Arduino rectangular on Youtube! The corny jokes and 8-bit video game music will stay, however, for they will always have a place in my heart. Update 30 Jan 2011 "PRONG ISSUE" Ardy the Arduino Mascot Pup (that will never catch on!) has an annotation that corrects the tour guide's erroneous statement. MICROPROCESSOR VERSUS MICROCONTROLLER? www.answers.com defines a microcontroller as "A microcomputer, microprocessor, or other equipment . . . .." In other words, a type of microprocessor. dictionary.reference.com defines microcontroller as "A microprocessor on a single integrated circuit intended to operate as an embedded system."

How-To: Shrinkify Your Arduino Projects


If you have a simple Arduino project that uses only a few pins, you might be able to shrink it down to a single 8-pin ATtiny chip. In this video, Matt Richardson shows you how, based on a tutorial from MIT Media Lab's High-Low Tech Group. The best part is you can use the same Arduino code and development environment that you're already used to. More information about this how-to is available at: blog.makezine.com

Enough Already: Silencing Celebs with Arduino


Matt demonstrates how he uses an Arduino to make a celebrity-silencing remote control for your TV. By decoding the closed captioning track in the video signal, the Arduino is able to look for keywords such as "PALIN" or "KARDASHIAN" and mute your TV, protecting your poor ears from having to hear about them ever again.

Arduino with Wii nunchuck


I was about to buy an accelerometer to play with. But I realised I already had one at home: Why not use the accelerometer in the Nunchuck? So I googled and found a really good how to here (with source code that can be modified to two servos): todbot.com , it was possible! Have a look att this PDF from that site: todbot.com I didn't want to destroy my nunchuck so I made a basic "adapter" out of cardboard and aluminium foil. Well, it's ugly but it works. Someday I'll buy another nunchuck just to get the accelerometer.. Well.

IPhone controlled Arduino-based Tank via WiFi, xBees & Processing


The Arduino based tank is controlled with the TouchOSC app for the iPhone to send OpenSoundControl signals to Processing which translates the signals to serial and sends it out via usb to an xBee module...which in turn get's picked up by another xBee module on the Arduino Tank. The Arduino tank is using an Ardumoto motor driver shield and has a LiPoly battery charger connected to a solar panel for easy charging.

Arduino Control of Model Train


A quick technical tour of the electronics at my 1' x 4' model train layout called Dawson Station. I'm using two different Arduino microcontrollers to control the train and play sound. I set this up for the 6th Annual Pacific Model Logger's Congress in Elsie, Oregon, where the layout won the diorama division and was runner-up best-in-show. Here are the links mentioned in the video: www.arduino.cc http www.sparkfun.com More details and pictures at www.dawson-station.blogspot.com See my other videos to see the layout in action as a switching puzzle, or the real railroad in action before it ceased operation in 2007.
