Using the right joystick of the transmitter, we can control the ailerons and the elevator of the airplane, and using the left joystick we can control the rudder and the throttle. In addition to that, using the right potentiometer we can adjust the controls responsiveness, or reduce the amount...
The brain of this robot platform is an Arduino Mega board which controls each wheel individually. Each wheel is attached on a NEMA 17 stepper motor, and knowing the fact thatstepper motors can be precisely controlled, I added one more cool feature in the app through which we can program the...
In this tutorial we are going to see how to use Arduino Joystick Shield. There are different versions but we'll be using v2.4, which has some interesting features and some extra buttons which can be used in your application in different ways. In this tutorial we are going to see how to...
If you are waiting indefinitely for Arduino to send data, this might block the execution of your program. Reading from the serial port is, essentially, asystem calland can introduce lag. A lot of lag. To avoid this, we should do very quick reads alternated by quick waits. In order to ...
When the joystick is in the center position, Arduino receives a value of about 510. When it’s moved upward, the value gradually increases from 510 to 1023 max. Similarly, when the joystick is moved downward, the value decreases from 510 to 0 max. ...
This $4 product is a microcontroller like Arduino (see Raspberry Pi Pico vs Arduino) and has no operating system; you program it by connecting it to another computer. At the heart of the Pico is the first "Pi Silicon" in the form of the RP2040. The Raspberry Pi Pico range are great...
In this post I have explained how to control servo motors using a joystick and Arduino. We will see overview about joystick, its pins, its construction and working. We will be extracting useful data from the joy stick which will be base for controlling the servo motors. ...
Electronic devices you build with Arduino start to become very cool when you connect them to the network.Let’s see how to connect an Arduino to a WiFi network.The Arduino must have WiFi connectivity, for example the Arduino MKR WiFi 1010, which is the one I use, or the Arduino Uno ...
If you’re still on the fence about trying to build your own drawing robot/plotterbot, take heart. (Skip to the bottom of the post if you want to check out the latest 3D printable files and Arduino code.) If a relative newbie such as myself can make a go of it, I’m pretty sur...
I'm going to show you how to emulate an Xbox controller with an Arduino, using a USB capable microcontroller and the ArduinoXInput library.
