In this article we will control the built in LED on an Arduino using Python. Python will be running on the desktop PC and we will be sending simple commands via the serial port to the Arduino. You can hook…
In this example we connect a L3G4200D three-axis gyroscope module to an Arduino Uno First lets look at some information about the sensor from the manufacturer The L3G4200D is a low-power three-axis gyroscope providing three different user selectable full scales…
In this article we take a look at a development board that may be ideal for people who want to get started with an Arduino, its called the Grove Beginner Kit for Arduino. Lets take a look at the kit,…
In this example we connect a vibration motor module to an Arduino Uno. This is the type of motor that you could find in a mobile phone which vibrates when you receive a text message for example, also commonly used…
In this article we look at a temperature sensor – this time its the BMP183 and we will connect it to our Arduino Uno Lets look at some information regarding the sensor from the manufacturer The BMP183 is the function…
In this article we look at a ambient light digital 16-bit resolution sensor – this time its the VEML7700 and we will connect it to our Arduino Uno This is the sensor that I bought for this Lets look at…
In this article we look at another light-to-digital converter – this time its the TSL2591 and we will connect it to an Arduino Uno First lets look at the sensor The TSL2591 is a very high sensitivity light-to-digital converter that…
In this article we look at another acceleration sensor – this time its the VCNL4010 and we will connect it to an Arduino Uno First lets look at the sensor The VCNL4010 is a fully integrated proximity and ambient light…
In this article we look at a pair of modules that can be used for communication between 2 Arduino’s. These are a 315Mhz transmitter and receiver module, they are very similar to the 433Mhz modules we looked at in a…
In this article we look at a pair of modules that can be used for communication between 2 Arduino’s. These are a 433Mhz transmitter and receiver module The kit includes one pair of transmitter and receiver modules and one pair…
