Isn't the most exciting moment when working with a microcontroller (Arduino) when you "read information from the real world ...

Simon is a Computer Science BSc graduate who has been writing about technology since 2014, and using Windows machines since 3.1. After working for an indie game studio and acting as the family's go-to ...

Researchers built and tested a low-cost 3D-printed robotic arm that lifted a 0.8 kg payload successfully in all ten laboratory trials, with measured repeatability of 2.47 mm and an actuator safety ...

Design, build, and characterise an absolute optical encoder (5-bit Gray code, transmissive disk) and a quadrature encoder for measuring motor shaft position and speed on Arduino Uno hardware.

There are plenty of “robot” projects out there that are really just a small remote control platform of some sort. We often like to think of robots of having some sort of autonomy though. [Luca Fagioli ...

The Arduino USB Camera puts a camera, microphone and adjustable ring light in one USB accessory for projects that need to see ...

Fix 3D printed robot backlash using the $20 CLMD 1.5 closed-loop stepper driver. The board's dual encoder inputs reduce RMS ...

Build a DIY smart thermostat for just $70 using an ESP32-S3 microcontroller. This open-source project includes full Home ...

Closed-loop position control of a 12 V geared DC motor with a Hall-effect quadrature encoder. You type the PID gains (Kp, Ki, Kd) and a target angle into the Serial Monitor. The motor turns to that ...
