When I saw this Arduino capacitive switching demoed at UWE, Bristol I was sold on the little board. Pinball with paper clips and Maltesers!
Having explored Motion, Light and Electrons we are now going to look at Sound using a simple circuit consisting of a single Piezo element. Even though the output of the Arduino is digital because of its speed it is possible… Read More
Shift Registers are a type of Integrated Circuit (IC) or chip. The Shift Register is a serial to parallel convertor that allows us to control eight additional output pins with just three on the Arduino. You can link them together… Read More
Servos can be used for lots of things where a great detail of control is needed such as steering RC vehicles, robotics and freaking out small children with moving dolls. Standard Servos like the one provided by Oomlout… Read More
The Arduino will allow you to attach low power devices directly to its pins but items such as motors requiring more power require a transistor. A Transistor allows you to switch big volts using little volts. In circuit… Read More
So in the second starter circuit multiple LEDs are linked up and patterns created.
This is the first ‘getting started’ circuit that makes an LED blink on and off as per the Ardx explanation.
The Open Source Prototyping Platform that allows you to experiment and develop at low cost
So we’ve had need to open a couple of ports on our home-server to the real-world. Its like letting a child out in the evening for the first time alone – you’ve no idea what trouble they might… Read More
