These motors are basically 'dumb' motors — they have just two connectors for power. You need to be a member of GarageLab (arduino, electronics, robotics, hacking) to add comments! If you want to drive a robot, come see “Logos Electromechanical,” which is “the home of the Zigduino, an Arduino variant with a built-in radio,” says Pierce Nichols of Logos Electromechanical. APC's enhanced Rolly, arduino mini robot. Debuting last weekend at San Francisco's Maker Faire, the Arduino Robot is officially the first equipped with wheels for locomotion. Robofish-arduino-schematic It's a robotic fish, controlled by an Arduino Compatible board (Arduino Uno would be OK), 3 servos and a set of infra-red sensors. Darren Yates continues to look at how to build a robot from scratch using Arduino, plus how to use it to capture mobile video. Join GarageLab (arduino, electronics, robotics, hacking) · RSS. We'll find out how we can easily create it with common insulating material and a few servo motor controlled by Arduino. €We'll have a couple of remote-controlled robots based around the Zigduino for attendees to drive!” If you love remote-control cars or like to race your friends, visit Logos Electromechanical, check out their Zigduino product, and play around with their fantastic robots! Rolly, our first autonomous microbot, now enhanced to do While the Arduino controller can handle interfacing with LEDs, servo motors and ultrasonic sensors, what it can't do is directly control standard DC motors. Make an Arduino-Controlled Robot. Reblogged from TechCrunch: London-based roboticist Evangelos Georgiou wants to offer an open-source platform for helping Arduino hobbyists take their projects mobile, thanks to a remote controlled robot called the RK-1 that combines a programmable Arduino microcontroller with apps for iPhone or It's a project that could really help out with home hobbyists, or with education workshops and classes to get people young and old more interested in robotics. Today we introduce you a robot fish that is able to swim and recognize tank edges and obstacles. The Arduino-controlled Time Print Machine uses an algorithm to “paint” images — portraits, still lives, you name it — out of nothing but splotches of ink. If you have 2 pins available, you can control 2 LEDs therefore the Charlieplexing method would be useless since you can just connect an LED to each one of the 2 available pins. Arduino-Controlled Robot Brings Pointillism Back! The control board on the robot is built on the Arduino hardware/software architecture, which is open source, and the controller software and hardware will also be available open source. Charlieplexing makes more sense in applications where you want to control more than 2 LEDs.
