and a reed switch is around 20 dollars with the most expensive component being the Arduino microprocessor. In the lab we often use the 640 Einstein flash on the 1/256 power setting which the students measure to
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...
Furthermore, Arduino’s easy-to-use IDE software for beginners is a more manageable program to learn as it uses a simplified version of C++ compared to other programming software. Because of this, Arduino is commonly cited as the pathway for everyone looking to learn about microcontrollers. With...
Arduinos have little “power regulators” that take power up to 12v and bring it down to 5v so the Arduino can use it without getting crispy. You can tap into that 5v power line to use for the things that require more power than the output pins provide – but if the things you conne...
Last month, I made a XY-plotter by Makeblock and use it to built a Drawing Robot. This Drawing Robot was built with two Linear Motion Shaft D8x480mm, two Long Beam0824, the timing belt, two stepper motors, two stepper motor driver, and a micro-controller Arduino. You can send a pict...

Result! OK! the serial plotter shows good signal and with a high sensibilityThe problem? for every test, 2 different libraries are used, and I can not to use them together, so, I did tryied with full duplex example, but, does not work.Did...
If you have a COREXY plotter you must edit line 189 in the file “config.h” to read “#define COREXY;” as shown in photo3. Use a text editor such as Notepad++ to do this. Do NOT use a word processor. Copy the “grbl folder” to the arduino “libraries” folder and rename to...
Launch the Arduino IDE and open the serial plot by navigating to Tools/Serial Plotter; this launches a new window, as displayed in Figure 11. Change the baud rate to 115200bps by clicking the drop-down menu in the lower right-hand corner, as highlighted in Figure 11. Select 115200. ...
In this Arduino Tutorial we will learn how to control a Stepper Motor using the A4988 Stepper Driver. The A4988 is a microstepping driver for controlling bipolar stepper motors which has built-in translator for easy operation. This means that we can cont
