Arduino Wireless Programming with XBee Series 1 or 2 -Use Arduino for Projects Hi. This Instructable will guide you through the process of wirelessly programming your Arduino using two XBees. I just finished designing a wireless EEG system with the XBee modules, so I’ve become quite fluent in their programming and have just now been able to accomplish this. Being able to wirlessly program your Arduino can come in immensly handy. Its my first Instructable so any feedback would be much appreciated! In order for you to accomplish this you will need to: 1) Have two XBees. For example, I used: 1) Two series 2 modules. 2) A USB explorer for connecting to my laptop, and a explorer regulated for connecting to my circuit. 3) A ATMEGA328p-pu microcontroller that was soldered onto a shield. Step 2: Circuit And Code
Taller de Arduino En este proyecto vamos a utlilizar una secuencia de leds y los iremos prendiendo y apagando uno después del otro. Primero en un sentido y luego en el sentido inverso. El circuito es muy similar al que hemos utilizado en los proyectos anteriores con leds, como en el de dos leds intermitentes, pero ahora lo haremos con más pares de leds y resistencias. Puedes poner todos los leds que quieras o todos los que te quepan en el protoboard ¿Cual sería la limitante? - al inicio Componentes arduino protoboard 7 leds 7 resistencias de 220 oms (rojo, rojo, café) Circuito Éste es otra vez prácticamente el mismo circuito que el de un led intermitente, en éste caso colocaremos un número mayor de leds con sus respectivas resistencias, conectados cada uno a un pin del Arduino. Aqui es importante que los conectemos a pines consecutivos del Arduino, en la descripción del sketch, veremos la razón de ésto. Diagrama Código El ciclo for tiene tres parametros o partes. Variantes Cambia la duración del delay().

Libro básico de Arduino: electrónica y programación Conocer el funcionamiento de las cosas es algo que el hombre se ha planteado desde el inicio de los tiempos; hoy en día nos enfrentamos a una realidad donde abundan la automatización, la domótica, la interacción de las personas con las máquinas, la electrónica, la mecánica y la programación. Casi cualquier proceso que nos podamos imaginar tiene un porcentaje de dependencia de estas máquinas, por ejemplo: Tu despertador sonó a las 6am para que vinieras a la escuela o fueras al trabajo, esa máquina, reloj, trabajó durante toda la noche para al final avisarte que era hora de despertar. El propósito de este libro es abordar el concepto de computación física que es la capacidad de interacción y comunicación de una máquina con los humanos, usando sensores y actuadores. Las decisiones de esto las va a tomar un microcontrolador que se encuentra ubicado en la placa Arduino. La tarjeta Arduino es el corazón del presente libro.

Alternative Arduino Interfaces - learn.sparkfun.com Favorited Favorite 2 ArduBlock is a programming environment designed to make “physical computing with Arduino as easy as drag-and-drop.” Instead of writing code, worrying about syntax, and (mis)placing semicolons, ArduBlock allows you to visually program with an snapped-together list of code blocks. ArduBlock builds on the simplicity of Arduino, and creates a perfect beginner gateway to physical computing. Installing ArduBlock ArduBlock is something of an “add-on” to Arduino, so it requires that you have the Arduino IDE installed. Installing ArduBlock can be a little tricky – there’s no installer, just a Java file that needs to be stored in a very specific location. Download and Install Arduino (if you haven’t already) – Ardublock is an extension of the default Arduino IDE, so you’ll need to have Arduino installed on your computer to run it. ArduBlock works hand-in-hand with the Arduino IDE – it relies on the IDE being open in the background, so don’t close the Arduino window!

Building a Simple Arduino Robot Step #1: Making the Chassis Place the battery pack face down and orient it so that its cable is facing you.Take two pieces of double sided tape and adhere them on the long sides of each servo. Ensure servo alignment at the bottom. Peel the backing off the tape and firmly press the servos onto the battery pack. Note: Make sure to apply the servos on the end where the wire is coming out, oriented so that the shafts are towards the end of the battery pack. Note: Ensure that the servos are pressed firmly together and that they are centered on the battery pack. Step #2: Breadboard & Arduino Attach the breadboard to the top of the battery pack. Step #4: Wiring the Servos Cut two 3-pin segments off of the long break away header. Step #6: Connecting the Power (pt. 1) The servos shouldn't be powered through the 5V pin on the Arduino because they can draw more current then the Arduino can provide. Step #8: Adding a Kill Switch Step #9: Programming your Robot Check out the code for this robot and my
Installing an Arduino Library What's a Library? Arduino libraries take a complex task and boil it down to simple to use functions. Arduino users have written lots of exciting add-ons for Arduino. For example, capacitive sensing takes difficult timing and pulsing of digital pins. We can write the code from scratch, or we can stand on the shoulders of great people who are smarter than we are. Capacitive touch sensing is a very popular interface. *sOut &= ~sBit; // set Send Pin Register low *rReg &= ~rBit; // set receivePin to input *rOut &= ~rBit; // set receivePin Register low to make sure pullups are off *rReg |= rBit; // set pin to OUTPUT - pin is now LOW AND OUTPUT *rReg &= ~rBit; // set pin to INPUT *sOut |= sBit; // set send Pin High interrupts(); // enable interrupts while ( ! All that code can be replaced with a much easier to use and understand statement such as: senseReading = myCapPad.capacitiveSensor(30); There are thousands of libraries out there! Suggested Reading Installing a Library - Windows Success! Wait.
Alternative Arduino Interfaces Overviewing the Options Arduino is awesome! It’s our go-to electronics education platform, and it’s our top choice for rapid prototyping, but it isn’t for everyone. The Arduino alternatives covered in this tutorial range from simple, introductory graphical programming to web-based Arduino interfaces for your web browser. ArduBlock – A Visual Programming Arduino Extension ArduBlock is a graphical programming add-on to the default Arduino IDE. ArduBlock is a perfect interface if you’re just getting into programming, electronics, or Arduino. Minibloq – Visual Programming Standalone Software In the same vein as ArduBlock, Minibloq is a graphical programming environment where groups of blocks are stacked on top of each other to create your program. One of Minibloq’s most powerful features is its real-time code generation – as you drag blocks into your program, the equivalent code is generated concurrently. Check out the Minibloq section of this tutorial for an introduction to the interface.

How to Use IR LED and Photodiode with Arduino | Robotix In this post I am going to show you how to use and program IR LED and Photodiode pair with Arduino to detect obstacles in a short range. Before going to do the project let us have a brief look at the IR LED and Photodiode. Photodiode is a light sensitive semi-conductor diode which converts the light energy into voltage or current based on the mode of operation. In general Photodiodes are operated in reverse bias condition. IR LED and Photodiode Project: In this project I am going to show you How to use the IR LED and Photodiode pair to detect the obstacle in-fornt of it. Materials required: 1) Arduino 2) IR LED 3) Piezo buzzer 4) some Wires. Circuit diagram: How circuit works: In the above circuit the Photodiode is operated in Reverse bias condition i.e., the long leg of photodiode goes to ground and the short leg is connected to 5 Volts supply through 3 K ohms resistor. Program : int pd=2; //Photodiode to digital pin 2 How program works: Related posts :
Test your sensors for line following robots - Site for electronics hobbyists and engineers There are two ways of making a line sensing/following robot, using a light dependent resistor(LDR) or Infrared(IR) LED. The fundamental logic behind a line sensing robot is that, a dark object reflects less light than a bright object, or we can also say, a dark object absorbs more light than a bright object. So, in a line following robot, we basically build a sensor that can detect the difference between a dark and a bright object, or say, a black line and a white surface. Before you fix the sensors onto your robot, you need to see if the sensors are really reflecting less light on black line and more light on white surface. Assemble your components in the following ways: a. Resistors connected to LDR: 1k Resistors connected to White LEDs: 220Ohm. You can get the source code for testing your sensors at the end of this post. For this circuit arrangement, remember that the LDRs should be slightly above the LEDs so that they get right level of reflection. b. How to connect a photo diode? Tips:
