If you hook a narrow band 760us center servo up to a 1500us or 1520us output, the servo likely won't work at all. If you hook a 1500/1520us servo up to a narrow band 760us output, the servo can be damaged because it will overtravel and stall. I get so many questions from peo...
Now as for the position sensor, the simplest solution is to use a simple potentiometer just like the one we saw in the RC servos. The problem with these types of potentiometers though is that they have a limited range of rotation of only 270 degrees, which directly limits the range of ...
There are manyFREEprojectson this site (with source code in C) that you can use to learn about microcontrollers including an ultrasonic distance meter, an led matrix driver, and more. Each Project includes source code, description and schematics which you can use as a basis for starting your ...
Before attaching the head to the mechanism we need to preassemble it, or attach the mandibles with the small SG90 servo and the ultrasonic sensor. Again it’s a bit tight here but I still managed to insert the first mandible and secure it to the head using a M4 bolt. You can notice ...
SG90 servo connects to pin D9 on Arduino Nano. This piece moves at a 90-degree angle if an obstacle is detected and the distance is less than 35cm (or whatever distance you choose in the code). The rest of the 5V and ground wires also connect to the Arduino Nano. Because it has so...
The analog pins allow the board to read signals from an analog sensor, like a light sensor and convert it into a digital value. Even though the primary function of the analog pins for most Arduino users is to read analog sensors, the analog pins also have all the functionality of general...

Arduino is a board with amicrocontrollerthat can easily be programmed from the Arduino IDE. Amicrocontrolleris a small chip with several input and output pins. You can write code, for example, to set an output to be HIGH or LOW. And if you connect aLight-Emitting Diode (LED)to that outp...
Flapping wings produce lift and thrust in bio-inspired aerial robots, leading to quiet, safe and efficient flight. However, to extend their application scope, these robots must perch and land, a feat widely demonstrated by birds. Despite recent progress,
This is due to the fact that DSLR autofocus is actually performed off-sensor, using a combination of mirrors that bounce light onto a separate phase-detect module that is dedicated to AF. If any of these physical parts is the slightest bit out of alignment, your images might be blurry even...
