(1/2) 4-Wheel Drive Multifunction (Wireless) Robot Car Kit

by Eddyson Canoy on May 31, 2018

Overview This is the first part of the 2-part project for 4-wheel drive multifunction (wireless) robot car kit. The first part covers the functionality of a robot car with its own obstacle avoidance capability using both ultrasonic sensors and infrared obstacle avoidance modules. The robot car is completely autonomous to the robot car kit owner. The robot car uses the

Arduino Starter’s Guide (6/7): Piezo Buzzer

by Kevin Montenegro on May 29, 2018

To this point we have controlled light, motion, and electrons. Let's tackle sound next. But sound is an analog phenomena, how will our digital Arduino cope? We will once again rely on its incredible speed which will let it mimic analog behavior. To do this, we will attach a piezo

Arduino Starter’s Guide (5/7): Colorful LED (RGB LED)

by Kevin Montenegro on May 26, 2018

Colorful Light We've blinked an LED and controlled eight in sequence now it's time to control color. Using an RGB LED (actual 3 LEDs in a single housing) we can generate any color our heart desires. We do this through color mixing, what’s required is delving back to your elementary

Arduino Starter’s Guide (4/7): Light Dependent Resistor and LED

by Kevin Montenegro on May 25, 2018

Light Whilst getting input from a potentiometer can be useful for human controlled experiments, what do we use when we want an environmentally controlled experiment? We use exactly the same principles but instead of a potentiometer (twist based resistance) we use a photo resistor (light based resistance). The Arduino cannot

Measuring Hand Grip Strength with Flex Sensor on a Bluetooth connected mobile app using +1Sheeld+

by Mikko Bryant Alinsub on May 23, 2018

Overview Hand grip strength is a method to measure the progression of muscle strength. This project aims to indicate changes in hand strength during rehabilitation processes by measuring the muscle flex of the fingers of the human hand. This project uses the 1Sheeld+ shield. The 1Sheeld+ is a new easily configured

Arduino Starter’s Guide (3/7): Push Button (Switch) Exercises

by Kevin Montenegro on May 22, 2018

Up to this point we have focused entirely on outputs, time to get our Arduino to listen, watch and feel. We'll start with a simple pushbutton. Wiring up the pushbutton is simple. There is one component, the pull up resistor, that might seem out of place. This is included because an Arduino doesn't sense the same way we do (ie
