While building robotics projects, the importance of controllers and motors cannot be overstated. These components are the heart and soul of any robotic system, providing the necessary control and ...

This circuit is not the very latest in robotics, but it may be of interest to those of you involved in making little robots using popular and inexpensive components. The proposed idea is a ...

You can read the state of a button using Arduino and a few lines of code. The actual state is shown in the Serial Monitor window as 0 or 1, 0 meaning the button is not pressed and 1 that the button is ...

This means that the servos stops and start very suddenly, moving as fast as they can between positions. In this video I'm going to show you two lines of very simple code to make things smoother.

Building an animatronic robot is one thing, but animating it in a lifelike fashion is a completely different challenge. Hobby servos are cheap and popular for animatronics, but just letting it move at ...

My daughter likes buttons. She's learning letters. I was bored over winter break and had these parts laying around... so I built her a "Button Box" based around an Arduino. Open source, hackable, and ...

While you hopefully don't need one-button access to 911, a desk-mounted panic button is undoubtedly cool, and it makes for a great DIY Arduino project. You'll need a prepaid SIM card, an Arduino, a ...

Pretty much every project I've done just lately has required me to test out some servos and experiment with their positions before they go into the assembly. I usually make a quick servo tester on a ...

Premier space exploration disaster simulator, Kerbal Space Program, is fun to play with regular controls, but it can be improved with this DIY build that lets you launch ships with a giant red button.
