Hi all, here I come with the new blog post with some updates on reminder bot. I received that beautiful Arduino kit 2 weeks back and was very excited to build stuff. I started building my first robot using Arduino robot kit and it all went very...
Good day comrades! The previous article about Darth Vader did not received much support from the community, well, there's nothing wrong, especially now that we are back to the usual format of my blog, because I have finally got the long-awai...
As a start, I installed Matlab on my PC together with the Raspberry PI support Package , following the instructions posted by Madhu Govindarajan in the first post of his blog posts.The Raspberry PI is then connected to the camera board, LAN cable and...
Hi all,I am Mohaned Essam from University of Technology PETRONAS, Malaysia. This is the first blog post on my project book_carrying_robot , so I will start with a brief description. the aim is to build a robot able to classify some objects ...
So I'm on my way to getting going with matlab and image processing. I decided to figure out how to turn my phone into an ip webcam and get the images into matlab. I used the IP Webcam app on the phone. I was able to get the network stream op...
Hi guys, My parts arrived last Thursday and, now I've finished everything else I was working on, I'm now ready to get going. I'll update this post with an unboxing video and some pictures of the initial build of the Parallax robot wh...
MATLAB is technical computing software and also a high level programming language which can be used for visualizing data. In conjunction with Simulink, the MATLAB platform can be used for simulating dynamic systems found in nature and industry. All o...
With the educator's road test materials I thought the best place to start would be to setup the Parallax robot shield with an Arduino. There are no instructions which come with the package, instead you need to go the the Parallax website and then...
Today was the day I got blown away by the generosity of Element 14 as well as Adafruit and Matlab. The development package send to me is so great... I still cant realize how lucky I am.So I will share the unboxing with you since with the exams c...
TL;DR: Raspberry Pi kits arrived. This design has ethical, societal, environmental, and practical use considerations. Feedback welcome. News: The Raspberry Pi 2 kits have arrived and I am floored by the generosity of elem...
As a brief introduction; I am a technology teacher at a private school in Pennsylvania and I teach classes ranging from programming to film making. Robotics have become an interest of mine as I've learned to use Arduino microcontrollers:Luck for ...
Neural Networks has been motivated right from its inception by the recognition that the human brain computes in an entirely different way from digital computers. At birth, a brain already has considerable structure and the ability to build up its own...
Here is a first prototype. There are two servos mounted orthogonally with hot glue. Right now there is just a ipod touch in a check box, and the image is stored for latter use. I'll post the code for the arduino soon and a basic video of operatio...
Hi everyone, this is Madhu Govindarajan from MathWorks with the next blog in a series to help you get started with MATLAB and sensors from the kit (TMP36 and MCP3008) for the road test. TMP36 is an analog sensor and Raspberry Pi can measure only digi...
Hi everyone, this is Madhu Govindarajan from MathWorks. In this blog, I will share how to get started with MATLAB Support package for Arduino and servo motors. All first time users please follow the instructions here to install the MATLAB Suppor...
Good day comrades! Unfortunately, I still have not got the components of the robot (though Russia – is very far!) However, wanting my subscribers not to get bored, I decided to resort to a backup plan, and recreate one of the most favorite chara...
Hi everyone this is Madhu Govindarajan with another blog in the series to help you get started with Simulink and Raspberry Pi Camera board for the road test. With Simulink support package you can automatically generate code from your graphical model ...
Hi everyone, this is Madhu Govindarajan from MathWorks. In this blog, we will discuss how to get started with Boe Bot and Simulink support package for Arduino. I have created a Shy pet that uses the tactile sensor of the Boe Bot and the IR sensor tha...
At least 4 months ago (what now feels like an eternity) I participated in the Raspberry Pi Educators Road Test. Writing blogs based on my lessons using the Raspberry Pi was a truely engaging experience and I put all my enthusiasm into making my artic...
Hello Teacher's Pet Challengers! I am happy to report that the kits have been shipped out from our friends at Adafruit on today. You will start receiving emails with the appropriate tracking number as UPS scans them for pickup. If you d...
So I started doing some stuff with a webcam and want to get into the image processing part of the project pretty quick. After digging around on mathworks.com I was able to peace together some code and get some images off my webcam. It wasn't actu...
Well still waiting for some parts to arrive. I want to do some catch op on the project. The lecture cam will use some parts of my senior project I am working on. I call it P-TRAC. P-TRAC stands for Personal Automated Camera. The device will use a sma...
Good day comrades! Today we talk about the software part of our melody generator. To begin, I want to explain why do we need it, because the Arduino has a built-in PWM, through which a lot of people do stuff like that. Let's see:wav - ...
