My first obstacle avoiding bot based on the tutorial by Community of robots. This is my first one and helped me learn a bit about sensors, feedback and servo operations. One difference in mine is the use of IR proximity sensor which I had lying around instead of the Sharp distance sensor. This one does not measure...
I was fascinated by LASERs when I first went to IIT Kanpur during my school days. Since then I have been reading / playing a lot with LASERs. My first one was a LASER trip wire and then a LASER pattern generator. It all was around 10 years back. Having recently acquired an Arduino UNO a plethora of options have opened up. I have started to learn from the beginning and this time I have the power of a...
I have been waiting to play with embedded programming since and recently ordered an Arduino. I tested the spare LCD and displays with the normal tutorial commands and went step by step remeber the thing about slow and steady!
I want to build a vector LASER projector and a quadrocopter someday but that is too far. It is kind of my VISION. My Mission is to learn embedded programming via arduino.
It is one hell of a kit.
My very first experiment was a 7 segment dice.
In the last 10 years, sensex gas grown at 17.79% CAGR. That means, if someone could have invested Rs. 1 lac 10 years back, it could have grown to 5.14 lacs. In the last 10 years one third of diversified equity mutual funds have delivered a CAGR of more than 25%. That means if someone could have invested 10 years back in these mutual funds Rs.1lac, it could have grown to Rs.9.31 Lacs. But how many investors have REALLY got these kinds of returns…? In this context knowing about the...

LCDs facinate me very much. The second thing I did with my Arduino and the 16×2 LCD was to hook it up as per this schematic and try to say hi
Then I used the same logic to display the temperature.
Things used for this project are
Arduino UNO
16×2 Hitachi compatible LCD
LM35 Temperature sensor
This...

Not that current Android phones fall short in machine power. Rather, much like the androids of the silver screen, the operating system has been the weak point....
