Arduino PIR Motion Sensing Bridge with Solar Powered LED Lighting
The bridge, “Passage” by L. Brower Hatcher at Columbus State, is one of the most outstanding and notable landmarks on campus. Connecting the main parking garage and Davidson Hall over Spring Street, the bridge offers safe passage above the fast moving one-way traffic below. Painted bright red, it also adds a strong visual contrast against [...]
Open Source ADM-Robot 1.0 (part 1)
It’s that time of year again… where the sounds of knowledge fill the home labs, garages and basements across the globe. Here in the ArduinoFun lab, we have been busy working on this years project ADM-Robot 1.0 aka Recycle-bot.
I will be posting progress photos and notes as we go along to document the process for [...]
Dual Motor Driver with Arduino using a SN754410NE Quad Half H-Bridge
With this post I am going to show you how to use a SN754410NE Quad Half H-Bridge IC to control two 12 volt DC Motors. I have added a video so that you can see the Dual Motor in action. As you can see in the video, all the wires can be a little confusing [...]
Arduino Solar Tracker
Solar power is energy that is produced from the sun, unlike typical energy sources which use fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable energy source, so as they are used they are depleted from the Earth. Solar power provides many benefits that enhance our quality of life.
With the rising fuel prices I decided to purchase [...]
Arduino Wireless Xbee
I have set this post up as an introduction to using the Xbee devices with Arduino. As a beginner, I found it confusing at first to get started so I hope this post will help others to get up and running a little easier. The first place I checked out was Adafruits tutorials for the [...]
