TinkerCad Tutorial #4 Interfacing Arduino and LCD

TinkerCad Tutorial #4

Interfacing Arduino and LCD

     

          Hi...in today's tinkered tutorial we shall see how we can make use of LCD in our Arduino project. Basically, you may have done this on other simulation software. It is pretty much the same.

          In this post we shall see how to display scrolling text using the dot matrix.
 

Arduino Tutorial #11 : Simple Arduino Uno Shield For LCD Test

Arduino Tutorial #11:

Simple Arduino Uno Shield For LCD Test

     

          In this post, we shall see how can we can make a simple Arduino Uno shield to test HD44780 LCD. This shield can be used to test LCD 16x2 and as well as 20x4.

TinkerCad Tutorial #3 Arduino Distance Sensor

TinkerCad Tutorial #3

Arduino Distance Sensor

     

          Hi...today we shall see how we can interface Arduino with the ultrasonic distance sensor. In the first part we shall see on the theoretical part of the ultrasonic sensor. 

TinkerCad Tutorial #2 : Arduino Relay Activated Lamp

TinkerCad Tutorial #2

Arduino Relay Activated Lamp

     

          Hi there. Sorry for the time i took to prepare the next tutorial video. In our next tutorial we shall see on how we can turn on the lamp using the relay through Arduino. And in this tutorial we shall see some of the basic theory of relay.

TinkerCad Tutorial #1 : Simple Arduino LED Blink

TinkerCad Tutorial #1

Simple Arduino LED Blink

     

          Hi. Today, we shall another simulation tool which we can use to simulate our Arduino project. The best thing about this software is that it is free and no installation is required. All is done through online. The software which we will look in to is TinkerCad Circuits.

Project #1 : Arduino Body Weight Scale

Project #1:

Arduino Body Weight Scale

     

          For our first project, we will make an "Arduino Body Weight Scale". And below are the components and the steps to make Arduino body weight scale.

Product Review : Capacitive Proximity Sensor Switch

                                 In our product review today, we will look in to the capacitive proximity sensor switch. Let us see how does the sensor works. Below picture is the picture of the actual product.

Product Review : Servo Motor SG90

                    In our previous post, we have seen the simulation on how we can control the servo motor. Today we have a chance to test the actual servo motor. The servo motor that we will use is Tower Pro SG90. Basically, the SG90 servo motor is a low-cost plastic gear RC servo with torque (kg-cm) of 2.5. 

Arduino Tutorial #10 : MakerUno - Making Tone

Arduino Tutorial #10:

MakerUno - Making Tone

     

          In our previous post, we have a look into controlling the onboard led. Today, we shall look into how we can make tone using the onboard piezo buzzer. For simple theory, the positive pin of the piezo buzzer is connected to Pin 8 and the ground pin is connected to the Ground. The image below illustrates the connection.

Arduino Tutorial #8 : MakerUno - Simple LED

Arduino Tutorial #8:

MakerUno - Simple LED 

     

          In our earlier post, we have a look into the MakerUno. Today we shall look into programming the board. Basically, the concept is similar to Arduino Uno, the thing which is different is their built-in led, buzzer and push button. In our post today, we shall look into controlling the built-in led on the MakerUno board.
           The onboard LEDs are connected to the digital pin starting from Pin 2 to Pin 13. To turn on these LEDs, it can be simply done by giving output high to each of the pins. For the first part, we shall make a simple led blinking program, followed by more complicated controlling methods.

Arduino Tutorial #7 : UnoArduSim - SERVO Motor

Arduino Tutorial #7:

UnoArduSim - SERVO Motor 

     

          Previously we have look at using UnoArduSim to control an LED. Today we will look at how we can control the servo motor by using the UnoArduSim simulation tool. But before that, let's look at the theory of servo motor. 

Unboxing The CNC3020T

CNC3020T 

                  This time we will look into a milling machine. To be specific the model which we are looking at is the CNC3020T. This machine is manufactured in China and cost around $500 USD. The machine is capable of doing engraving. This machine is useful for industrial, research, education and hobbyist purpose.

Digispark#2 : Interfacing Digispark With Temperature Sensor LM35

Digispark #2:

 Interfacing Digispark With Temperature Sensor LM35

                 In our previous post, we look on how to interface the Digispark with LCD 16x2. Today we will look at how we can interface the temperature sensor LM35 with Digispark. For this, we will need to have the LM35  temperature sensor, Digispark and the LCD. Before going further let's look at LM35.

Digispark#1 : Interfacing Digispark With LCD 16x2

Digispark #1:

 Interfacing Digispark With LCD 16x2

                 In the previous post, we have seen the introduction to Digispark and make a simple led blink project. This time we will use the Digispark to interface with 16x2 LCD display. Since the number of a pin on Digispark is limited, we will use the i2C protocol to connect with the LCD. The item we will use is as shown below.

Introduction To Digispark USB Development Board

Digispark USB Development Board

                  Hi there... :-) Today we will look into the Digispark USB Development Board. This board was first introduced in Kickstarter by Erik Kettenburg.  You may view for more details of the product in their official page. 

Product Review : Knob Potentiometer

     In the market, there any many types of potentiometer.  For a different application, we use different types of the potentiometer. Today we will look into the preset potentiometer with a knob. I like this the most because you don't need any tools to change the resistance. We make barely use our finger to change its value. Theoretically, the function of this potentiometer is the same as other potentiometers. The image below is the illustration of the potentiometer. 

Arduino Tutorial #6: Introduction To Arduino Using Matlab Simulink

Arduino Tutorial #6: Introduction To Arduino Using Matlab Simulink

                  In this tutorial, I would like to introduce you to the Arduino using the Matlab Simulink. Previously we have seen how to program an Arduino using the IDE. The process is pretty much the same, but the methods are different. The first thing you need to to do is to install the Matlab.
