Circuitrocks has a bunch of wireless technologies available for Arduino wireless communications. Here is a short guide on how to choose the correct one for your projects. Communicating with Arduino Wired communication is essential with Arduino boards. You can’t even upload your program without using a wired USB to UART serial connection. Moreover, you interface…
Make your robots move using DC motors. In this article, we’ll take a look at DC motor fundamentals and how you control them using the L298N DC motor driver module.
GPS is rapidly evolving from just being useful to being essential in our current world. Fortunately, there is an easy-to-configure, low-powered, Arduino-supported chip called UBLOX NEO-6M. All About GPS GPS (Global Positioning System) is a navigational system that is composed of 30+ satellites surrounding the earth. This satellite system in space is about 12,000 miles…
Since its inception, RFIDs are never out of trend. Applications for RFID technology include access systems, manufacturing, logistics, inventory management, retail sales and security purposes. Fortunately, it can be interfaced with Arduino as well. Definition RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a wireless communications technology wherein digital data is encoded or decoded into RFID tags via…
Visualize your data easily with a veteran in the engineering industry – National Instrument’s LabVIEW! It is a perfect solution to every makers’ test, measurement, and control needs. Introduction LabVIEW is a staple tool in testing and controlling sytems. That was established to me even in my early days in the university. It provides a…
We’ve already tackled the schematic diagram of the famed Arduino UNO. It is now time to assemble it in your own breadboard! Here are the steps and some simple explanation on how to make an Arduino on a breadboard. Introduction What I love about Arduino is that it is so unselfish of its technology. It’s…
Circuit design always starts with a question of how to make things work. Engineers grab the nearest development boards, more often than not an Arduino, and rush to produce a working prototype. What comes next is the part that I’d like to share today. Optimization, specifically maximizing battery life. To paint you a picture, the…
I still can’t believe how much this board costs considering its features. If you’re tired of messy wires and would like to put on some sophistication on your DIY Arduino projects, stay tuned because today we’ll be doing wireless communications using the NRF24L01+ RF Transceiver Module. Overview The NRF24L01 RF GFSK Transceiver is just…
Feliz Navidad learners! Christmas is just around the corner. What better way to welcome our guests than a fine Christmas song? In this beginner friendly tutorial, I’ll teach you how I made an automated door greeting device using a magnetic reed switch, a digital speaker module, and an Arduino UNO. What you’ll need: Arduino UNO…
Get deeper into the Arduino craft by looking into a reference design. In here I will get into details with the basic arduino schematic diagram using one of their more popular development board, the Arduino UNO. So what is an Arduino? It can basically mean two things: One, it is an open-source hardware and software…
