We highly suggest that you learn how to use the ARRAY command in AutoCAD before trying this one. Understanding the ARRAY command and its limits is crucial here. We had a fast talk about creating an Array around an ellipse in the following posts AutoCAD Challenge 12 AutoCAD Challenge 16 Excel to AutoCAD Let’s say …
AutoCAD has been very popular over the years as a program that may help with designing all sorts of components for use in many workplaces. However, you could actually go one step beyond when it comes to AutoCAD in that you can use a special variant of the program to design your house. You could …
If you have ever had in mind the desire to control one of your real-world appliances with an Arduino, here is a good Arduino relay project that shows you how you can, for example, use the combination of elements shown in this post to build a bridge from the Arduino layer to any other appliances …
Lots of beginners are having some issues with connecting a motor to the Arduino board. Some even try to connect the motor directly to the board’s pins. huge fail. Do not do this! That would likely damage your Arduino Board regardless of the size of the motor. The maximum current that the Arduino can supply …
Servos are cool but you can only move them from 0 to 180 degrees, what if you want to have precise continuous rotation? Stepper motor is the answer. A stepper motor is a very precise motor that you can instruct to rotate one step at a time. They are used in CNC machines, 3D printers and in robotics. …
The CAD world is unique in that people can create all sorts of projects, particularly architectural projects. These projects may entail reviews of individual flooring plans, designs for the outside parts of a home and so forth. However, a quality CAD project will have to utilize a printout to make it work. A printout can …
Making Arduino perform asynchronous tasks is not an easy job and such Project requires you to practice implementation of clean and optimized programs. It is very useful to know how to program AVR in C and how to read the datasheets in order to implement timers. This project will shed some light on the how to …
The Architectural community is currently going through a period of modernization and this in part, has led to the creation of multiple productivity tools and applications. And for the upwardly mobile architect or constructor, he or she must continue to stay abreast of these changes in order to remain competitive. This is why today’s posts …
Everyone loves LEDs, they are cheap, simple to use and you can easily learn all Arduino tricks with them. But here some an even cooler LED type, this one is different from the ordinary LED we have been using here. It’s called the RGB LED. What is the RGB LED? The RGB LED is a …
In one of our previous Arduino project, we used the sensor HC-SR04 to allow a robot to see obstacles while moving and to act accordingly. The HC-SR04 is a very popular ultrasonic sensor and you should definitely learn how to make use of it. This project will be subdivided into two parts. We want to build …
Playing with Arduino projects is a lot of fun, but sometimes you can easily damage your Arduino board while working on a project, especially when you have a messy desk and believe me, it is probable that you will at some point if not now, have a messy desk with all those wires. A piece …
Are you dreaming about building your own robot army? These Arduino robot kits are expandable, affordable and durable, and they are a great way to learn about robotics from scratch. What’s Arduino? Arduino is an open-source platform for everyone interested in electronics. It has a piece of software that you run on your computer to …
I usually put my laundry outside on the balcony and I built this Arduino rainfall detector to let me know when rain starts. A nice project for beginners, Let’s see how you can built a simple rain detector using the rain sensor and a buzzer. The detector will start a beep to let you know …
Before delving into the meat of this interesting contest, it is important to state that both devices were built for different applications. That been said, I will endeavor to define both devices using their technical definitions as well as a non-technical approach to get first time users of microcomputers to appreciate their abilities. The Arduino …
I am sure you know those volume meters we mostly find in professional recording studios. That’s what this project is about, a simple volume meter (or decibel meter) made with Arduino, a microphone and few LEDs. The Arduino program for this project is very optimized and shortened so you can see what a properly written program looks …
