Using Multiple RF Remote Control
We are carrying the simple to use RF remote control set, it comes with a remote control and a receiver, operating at 315MHz RF. Looking at the video to know the basic operation. Yes, it is very easy to use it. With some modification and power, I have used it for my house lighting. Now [...]
Arduino Edubot?
Many wanted to build a mobile robot with Arduino and maybe would like it to perform some simple yet fun task such as line following or distance sensing. If you have any question, please do open a topic in our technical forum as we seldom check the comment section in tutorial site. So let’s build [...]
LCD: Interfacing with PIC Microcontrollers (Part 3) – Creating Custom Character
By SCLim RH2T Magazine, Vol.6, Sep 2010 I guess many of us find working on the predefined characters of the LCD is kind of boring after some time. Here I’ll show you how to create your own custom characters. Revision General information of the LCD, circuit connection to PIC microcontroller, software initialization, commands and instruction [...]
G15 Cube Servo on Mobile Robot
The new cube servo, G15 from Cytron Technologies is amazing actuator. Beside the angle/position control feature (like a standard RC servo), it also offer continuous rotation 
We are going to show a simple mobile robot construction using G15 as the motor drive the wheel and further the mobile robot. It might not like the [...]
Pinout Diagrams for Arduino and Atmel Microcontrollers
Arduino is an open source development platform with easy-to-use software and hardware. However with the release of so many new Arduino board variants (Uno R3, DUE, Mega 2560, Leonardo etc.), we really need some visual illustrations to quickly kickstart a project based on the new Arduino board we have in hand. Arduino forum users have [...]
Fingerprint Reader Integrated SM630 with SM630 PC Demo GUI
Introduction Fingerprint Reader Integrated SM630 is a fingerprint verification module. It consists of optical fingerprint sensor, high performance DSP processor and Flash. It boasts of functions such as fingerprint login, fingerprint deletion, fingerprint verification, fingerprint upload, fingerprint download,etc. By interfacing with SM630 PC Demo GUI, the board is ready to do the following operation; Get Version of [...]
Interfacing Fingerprint Reader Integrated SM630 with Arduino Uno
In this tutorial, I will explain the connection, the screen shot of 5 selected fingerprint operation (add fingerprint, delete fingerprint, search fingerprint, empty database and search database) and some of the important code on how to do the fingerprint reader operation.
Remote Mobile Robot with XBee-WiFi
By Idris from My TechInvention. Since Digi International (company of XBee) has launch their WiFi module (XBee-WiFi), I am thinking to create a simple but interesting application using this module. What should be on your mind? Then I start to check my store, what should be the interested item. After a while I found this, [...]
Getting Started with XBee-WiFi
Yes, XBee now come with another model that support WiFi connection, is the new XBee-WiFi module. We are carrying it now. You can get it under Wireless Devices -> WiFi category. What is the purpose you get this module? Basically is to enable your microcontroller or system to be able to connect to WiFi router [...]
