Introduction: The Arduino Web Editor is an online IDE that allows you to write code and upload sketches to any official Arduino board from your Web browser (i.e. Safari, Firefox, Edge & Chrome). For the rest of this tutorial we recommend using Google Chrome as our default browser. The web editor is part of the […]
Introduction: Before we start controlling the world of Arduino, we’ll need to set up the software (IDE – Integrated Development Environment) to program the Arduino boards. The Arduino IDE allows us to write programs on our computers and upload them to our boards. As of writing this tutorial, there are two options of the IDE: […]
Introduction; The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. The Uno board has 14 digital input/output pins (6 of which can be used as PWM outputs), a USB connector, an ICSP header, a 16MHz quartz crystal, a power jack, and a reset button. The board contains everything needed to support the microcontroller, […]
What is Arduino? Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use software and hardware. Arduino has a variety of boards that have the ability to read inputs, turn on/off a sensor, turn on an LED, or even publish something online. With the Arduino programming language and the Arduino software (IDE), a programmer has the […]
Introduction: This tutorial will mainly focus on the most often used batteries in our D.I.Y Mechatronics projects as there are quite a number of different battery technologies on the market today. We shall cover a number of things concerning batteries which include but not limited to the following; the different types of batteries, the defining […]
