Learn how to combine a PICAXE, IR sensors, and a servo motor to create a device that responds to a moving stimulus. Spoilers: I hook it up to eyeballs that can follow a finger. Related Information Servo Motor Control with an Arduino Servo Control with Arduino Through MATLAB Servo Control via USB with the SAM4S […]
A bootloader enables download of hex-files directly into the flash-memory of a PIC or other microcontroller. The bootloader receives the user program via the PIC’s UART and writes it directly to the program memory (self programming). This feature greatly speeds up the development process, because the chip remains in the target circuit and need not […]
Microcontroller BoardsRead the temperature in PIC16F/18F Primer Board from temperature sensor ds1820. The PIC16F/18F Primer board uses the ADC pin for reading temperature from temperature sensor ds1820. The reading output is displayed into PC through UART. PIC16F/18F Development Board The PIC16F/18F Development Board is specifically designed to help students to master the required skills in the area […]
Design Summary: Our group designed and manufactured a miniature robotic vehicle that conquers various terrains. The vehicle was designed with a track system which is powered by two DC motors. The motors use a Quadruple half H ‐Driver in order to drive the motors in both directions. The track system incorporates a four bar linkage for each tread. These two linkages allow each side to be independently raised which gives the robot multiple configurations. […]
While I was writing some tips to solve problems about Spectrum’ keyboard, some guys asked me for the possibility of using a PC-keyboard coupled by adapter. One market solution was launched by ‘Sintech’, but isn’t available the scheme nor the program used by inner microcontroler. This lack of information pushed me to do an innovating […]
