I have purchased an Arduino Mega 2560 R3 and want to connect a 3.5" TFT LCD to it. I am aware that I have to enter the source code but am stuck. There was no code sent with the screen.I bought it from: Arduino Mega 2560 R3 R61581 3 5 inch TFT L...
I was browsing through YouTube today and found an interesting project video from Mohammad Alshawabkeh & Ahmad Alameer of the University of Jordan Department of Mechatronics Engineering. They have created a robotic hand powered by an Arduino ...
MathWorks organized a robotics competition as a part of the recently held Paris Maker Faire scheduled on June 21st and 22nd. The competition allowed participants to get their hands on a custom built mini Mars rover and play with Simulink and MATLAB t...
It's the Independence day weekend in the United States and a time for patriotism and fireworks . My colleague, Ye Cheng wanted to show her patriotism in her own "techie" way. Her idea: Light Paintings of the US flag.Light paintings use ...

Link back to main menu Fast Track to Arduino Programming Sorry this one was so long in coming, it has taken a while to work through getting the web page up and running without being complicated and also to figure the best pins to use while not c...
Congrats to Tomas Polisensky who was chosen to win the Arduino Starter Kit !Kickstart your Project and start making with an Arduino Starter Kit! Enter the contest and win!Share your Arduino project idea that you will create in 10 words or fewer with ...
Alina Balean and Rucha Patwardhan’s Smart Hoodie- The wearable text messenger.The ubiquitous hoodie, typically worn by today’s youth, athletes and thug engineers everywhere. We usually don’t associate them with technology, however you will often find...
back to intro and main menu Fast Track to Arduino Programming In part 1 of this lesson, you where presented with a fully working Arduino sketch that can read from analog inputs, output PWM and output to the digital lines, please review the code ...
In a glorious 8 colours. I couldn't believe this when I saw the video footage, but there's even a shot of the circuitry after it and the guy is giving away how he did it along with the code. It isn't even overclocked! www.youtube.com/watch&...
Now we have seen how to read the serial port we will now expand the capability to include examining the content of the data and comparing to pre-defined strings in order to take different actions based on what was sentIn this tutorial we only send ba...
In this the first main lesson we look at how to simply read from the serial port and return what is read back out the port to the console, creating a buffer for the input data and correctly handling the input from the consolewww.youtube.com/watch&nbs...
In this first intro lesson I describe the basic sketch and concept of limited memory and that even an empty sketch uses up valuable system resourceswww.youtube.com/watch /*
Title: Lesson 0. how big is an empty Sketch anyway

This is my first blog post on Element14 and hopefully the first one of a long list ACAL BFi [1] kindly offered me a free sample of an illuminated capacitive switch for evaluation.The switch is made by Stadium IGT [2] who are coincidentally only a sho...
Doorbells are the 20th century version of today's perpetually-interrupting cell phone. There you are, cooking a delicious dinner or reading a nice book when the doorbell rudely goes off in your ear. Sure, you're glad to see whoever is at the ...

Can anybody tell me how to configure an SD card, wifi-shield, and the serial monitor to all work simultaneously??? I'm trying to capture an image using motion detection and, afterwards, save the array of 100 images to the SD card. Afterwards, I...
Everything that happens on a micro-controller has to be known. This includes dealing with memory. Many people (myself included) have developed a wonderful set of code that can dynamically use and free memory through the standard malloc and free funct...
User interfaces can take up a lot of memory. That is why, while developing the Arduino User Interface I focused on developing a way to store things in Program Memory instead. It turns out that storing -- and then using -- program memory objects can b...
One of my first big micro-controller projects was called the Neonatal Closed Loop Oxygen System. When babies are born prematurely, they have to be fed very specific amounts of oxygen. Too little oxygen and they suffocate, too much oxygen and they can...
This is a quick post to show how easy it is to connect a DHT22 temp and Humidity sensor to an Arduino and have it output its reading on a web page that can easily be accessible from anywhere on the internetWith a little more work you can pretty up th...
For many years Morse code was a large part of the mandatory licensing examination in both Canada and the US. In order to get a basic license to transmit on amateur bands, a prospective amateur would have to commit him or hers...
This is the third post in the blog post series celebrating Arduino day 2014.. This post is about a low-cost mobile lab experiment kit put together by the talented folks at Minseg. This is an excellent example of the contribution Arduino has made...
