I am starting a new series of articles explaining how you can create robots using Arduino. These are the same robots, that I used in my various talks. I am planning to post the article every Friday, so that you will have enough time to try it out over the weekend. Assumptions I am going […]
I was following news about Maker Faire in Twitter today and was quite surprised when I came to know that Massimo Banzi co-founder of Arduino, announced Arduino Yún, a new product that combines Arduino and Linux. Specification I was quite excited and quickly checked the specs. It is a combination of Arduino Leonardo (based on […]
Once of the important things to do when you play around with electronics is to make sure that you are safe-guarding your electronic components from over current. The most common way to do that is by adding a resistor in series. You can calculate the value of the resistor needed for safe operation by using […]
Finally, after waiting for more than six months I got my on hands on a Raspberry Pi (in fact 4 of them 😉 ) Ever since I heard about Raspberry Pi, I wanted to try one, especially to compare it with an Arduino and finally the day has arrived 🙂 Buying Raspberry Pi in India […]
The dates for my second batch of Arduino Robotics workshop is confirmed now. It is going to be on Jan 26th and 27th. It is going to be a 2 full day workshop, like last time and I will also be providing the components needed for the workshop. You can find the course content, fees […]
I recently found an interesting use of the many Arduino boards that I have. You can use your Arduino board as a bridge to connect serial devices to the computer, without even writing a sketch. How cool is that? 😉 Before I tell you how you can do it, let me explain about virtual COM […]
Yesterday, I gave a talk at foss.in about robotics and how you can build your own robot using open source hardware like Arduino. About Foss.in Foss.in is a Free and Open Source Software event, which happens annually. Following is the actual quote from the foss.in website FOSS.IN is one of the world’s largest Free and […]
One of my favorite Arduino shield is the USB Host Shield by circuits @ home. Both the hardware and the software of this shield are excellent and well written. I was playing around with the shield by connecting a USB Missile Launcher and had a closer look at the shield. I realized when I had […]
While cleaning my room the other day, I stumbled upon a couple of old toys which I bought from US for myself. (Who said you have to grow up 😉 ) I was going through the packs and found an old USB Missile Launcher and thought of putting it into some good use. USB Missile […]
Today, I spoke about Arduino and its different capabilities at Mobile internals workshop conducted by CIS. The talk discussed the different ways by which we can use Arduino to interface with different external devices. It was very similar to the talk that I gave at board hackthon, but I have added additional details about Leanardo […]
