Winking two LEDs: A first exercise. This is, of course, the “Hello World” of micro controller programming. Your Arduino probably came programmed to wink one LED, just as a quick “Is it working?” test. The material in this tutorial is not rocket science, but please read through it anyway. It covers some important foundation material. Click Here   A better program to wink two LEDs! What is a “good” program? Click Here   A few general points. In this short tutorial I mention a few “gotchas”. Click Here   Simple Counting on LEDs Click Here   Using the built in…

Arduino in a Nutshell

In Arduino | No comment

The Arduino is a family of microcontroller boards to simplify electronic design, prototyping and experimenting for artists, hackers, hobbyists, but also many professionals.   This little booklet, written by Prof. Jan Borchers, introduces you to using an Arduino. It comes with shopping tips and a SparkFun online wish list to get the parts you’ll need.   Book size is 8 x 6 inches. Print at original size (100% scale!) onto larger paper and cut to size outside the cropmarks on the cover. The size is also perfect for reading on an iPad.   The latest version is 1.13, from Jun…

Manuals and Curriculum

In Arduino | No comment

Manuals and curriculum provide cohesive coverage of Arduino in general, or of specific applications of Arduino in particular. In either case, these are single sources that cover a variety of related topics. These could be used by individuals, teachers, and classes as stand-alone introductions to Arduino.   Free: Arduino Comic – created by Jody Culkin (2011): A very simple introduction to Arduino that will help you out during your first days. It is a Creative Commons document, please check out if there is a translation to your language and if not, feel free to make one and push it back….

20% of All Vacuums are Robots

In Arduino, More Info, Robotics | No comment

From a sales standpoint, robot vacuums are the most successful consumer robot ever. Robot vacuums have certainly simplified, not quite eliminated, one of the most daunting household chores: cleaning. So the success makes sense.     But just how popular are robot vacuums? At TechCrunch Beijing, iRobot CEO Colin Angle said 20 percent of the world’s vacuum cleaners are robots. Of those that are robots, 70 percent are from iRobot, which has sold 14 million Roombas to date.   As Angle said, iRobot “has a long lead in terms of working on the problem, and because it’s focused on consumer…

Arduino IDE 1.6.1 not launching on Win7/64

In Arduino, Robolab Softwares Guidelines | 2 Comments

Hello everyone, just a quick update. I was in the same situation, Win 7 64-bit 8Gb RAM, Arduino IDE 1.6.1 won’t start. Has suggested: I opened up the commands prompt (launch cmd.exe from Start button) I typed cd c:\program files (x86)\arduino then launched arduino_debug.exe I checked that the error was the VM’s reservation space I opened the two files arduino.l4j.ini and arduino_debug.l4j.ini with Notepad (Run it as Admin!!) I edited both files changing -Xmx1024M to -Xmx512M Saved and rerun Arduino IDE, everything fine!

error: Context Menu disabled!
