An Arduino Shield lets you to employ your Arduino for more than one project and to change the hardware setup easily. This little post is about a common (and cheap) Arduino Joystick Shield – the ...

The Arduino Uno-compatible board has an MCS-51 (often called 8051 instead) instead of the usual ATmega328P/ATmega168. Specifically, [ElectroBoy] uses the AT89S52 .

This article presents a procedure for reading the analog ports of the Arduino UNO R3 board, on which an analog Joystick was connected. The analog data are related to the position of command and can be ...

Adafruit says that the Neopixel line of products will work with most Arduino and Arduino compatible boards such as the Uno, Mega, Leonardo, and more, but it will not work with other "advanced ...

To build this project, all you need is three main components: an Arduino Uno, a 16x2 LCD, and a push button. You can connect everything to a breadboard to keep it simple.

4. Connect the breadboard rails to Arduino GND and +5V, and then check that your setup matches that of Figure 10-3. Mounting the Laser. For this project, I’ve attached the servos to a pan-and ...

Realizing this, [Josh] wrote a simple demo program to drive over 1000 NeoPixels – an 11 meter long strip – using 1K of RAM on an Arduino. The trick comes by simply delaying the bitbanging a ...

Arduino’s brand-new Esplora microcontroller, packed with prebuilt sensors and features, could indicate a move for the DIY electronics company toward a wider segment of the microcontroller market ...

Even though games like Infinity Blade can be great fun on the iPhone, there's no getting around the fact that touchscreen-centric, buttonless devices don't offer the best gaming ergonomics. A ...
