The Arduino Leonardo looks like the UNO and is in many ways similar to it. But because it is based on the ATmega32u4, it has an advantage with built-in USB communication. This allows it to emulate computer peripherals like mice and keyboards, making it especially useful for projects involvin...
Dimming An LED: An Arduino PWM Example Arduino kits come with a neat technology called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) built in. PWM enables you to control the brightness of LEDs or control the speed of a motor instead of just switching them on or off. The possibilities are endless!
Pin numbers used to program a chip on the Arduino IDE are based on how the chip manufacturer has internally named/aranged the pins . The manufacturer of the ATtiny85 is ATMEL (the AT inATtiny85-actually stands forATMEL);It's common for chips to have the first two initials of the compan...
For big and life-size 3D prints, getting fiber optic lighting kits instead of LEDs can be a good idea. Fiberoptics are easy to apply, according to enthusiast Adrian Hawley. You can use one light source with a battery and a switch. It is best to paint the inside of the 3D printed mod...
Introduction to Visual Designer Proteus Visual Designer for Arduinosimulation quickly and easily allows you to design and test Arduino projects without the need for programming experience. Watch Video Tutorial: Getting Started This video shows how to create a simple PCB inProteus EDA Softwarefrom schema...
PSRAM might fix this (requires newer ESP-IDF & unreleased Arduino core, and from a brief test I got horrible performance with PSRAM enabled), or the next item might help reduce memory: migrate to LVGL, for better display rendering and easy support for menus, etc. Shouldn't require a full...
Arduino UNO Attached to a PC via USB Cable After connecting theArduino UNOvia USB to a Desktop PC, the power light on the Arduino UNO will light up (the USB cable powers the UNO board, no need for a power supply) and you should get a “Found New Hardware” message from Windows. ...
LEDs and Buzzer: If you need these features, check that the flight controller has LED strip and buzzer pads. Barometer Requirement: Some flight controllers have this built-in. External barometers are hard to find and not commonly used, so it’s best to choose an FC with an integrated barome...
The Arduino can be programmed to turn on the relay when a certain event occurs, for example when the temperature of a thermistor gets higher than 30°C. Or when the resistance of aphotoresistordrops below 400 Ohms. Almost any sensor can be used to trigger the relay to turn on or off....
Being both cheap and don’t have the patience to wait weeks for delivery, I went with the DIY solution. I even have all the whopping two components needed at home. Those components are an Arduino and a Game Boy Link cable. If you have a knockoff cable or one that you don’t care ...
