Arduino Stepper: Ultimate Accuracy!

I’ve always loved automation equipment! A grade school trip to a museum with a marble machine using pneumatics, sensors, servos and more had me hooked.   Combining Arduino’s with mechanical devices and machined parts is just amazing. I’m working on a project using a stepper as a “feed device” and wanted to make a video experimenting with various ways to control the Arduino Stepper as well as measuring to see just how accurate it could be!  

Part 3: Arduino Analog to Digital Conversion

In part 3 of this series we look at using Arduino analog to digital conversion for sensors.  

Let’s Make It Inaugural Episode – Let’s Make It – Episode 1

This is our very first episode of Let’s Make It. In this episode we introduce ourselves and talk a little about what is coming up. Hint: It is Arduino, Raspberry Pie, PIC Chips, Circuit Design and PC Board Manufacturing. Fun stuff!  

Keypad Input To An Arduino – Let’s Make It – Episode 11

This week we attach a keypad to an Arduino and show you how you can easily accept input. Then we build a combination door lock with that same keypad. For both projects we also use the serial LCD that we learned in Episode 5.  

XBee Basics – Lesson 1 – General Information and Initial Setup

This is lesson 1 out of 5 where I will be teaching you the basics of XBee. In this lesson I cover general information about XBee and go through the initial setup steps.  

Wireless RF Remote & Receiver! Easy & Cheap! Great for Arduino and Raspberry Pi!

A review of Adafruit’s inexpensive RF keyfob remote and receiver. This is by far the easiest and least expensive RF solutions I’ve seen! It’s a “turnkey” solution – e.g. it works right out of the box. It can directly control things (like an LED or transistor) or be used to trigger a digital input pin on an Arduino or Raspberry Pi!

iPhone controlled garage door opener using Arduino

A pieced together hack that allows for a PHP page with a button to trigger a relay on an Arduino board that acts as a button press for the garage door opener. All the code was pretty much hacked together, and has a lot of polishing to do on all parts, but as a proof of concept, it’s a start.
