Arduino + Processing: Make a Radar Screen to Visualise Sensor Data from...
This is where all the work is done to read an interpret the values from the servo and the sensor. If the readings are to erratic then you won’t have nice shapes. Also if you don’t allow enough time to...
View ArticleArduino – Using a Sharp IR Sensor for Distance Calculation
Well, looks like my sonar sensor (SRF05) is a just a tad inaccurate for precise measurement as I found from my radar screen I made (Arduino Radar Sscreen). So I’ve got hold of a Sharp GP2Y0A02 series...
View ArticleArduino + Processing – Make a Radar Screen – Part 3: Visualising the Data...
So I had some luck with getting the Sharp Infrared range finder working and I’ve now plugged this on to my servo rig to see if I get better results on my radar styled display. Check out how to use the...
View ArticleArduino + Processing – 3D Sensor Data Visualisation
So following on from my previous posts about visualising sensor data in Processing, I’m now looking at drawing 3D representations of the data recorded from the Sharp IR sensor – although can be any...
View ArticleUsing Processing to Send Values using the Serial Port to Arduino
In this write-up, I’ll show how to create a value in Processing and then send this value over the serial port to the Arduino. In the example I’m setting values of LEDs making them brighter or dimmed...
View ArticleArduino – Modifying a Robot Arm
Essentially another tutorial involving controlling DC motors. In this post I’m going to first alter a robot arm I had built previously from a beginners kit so that it can be controlled from Arduino....
View ArticleArduino: Controlling the Robot Arm
So the arm is wired into Arduino as per the previous post, Arduino: Modifying a Robot Arm and hopefully this has worked. In this next part I alter the Arduino sketch slightly and write the first...

We use them every day, but has no one got bored of pressing buttons on a stick, it’s far too much effort pressing buttons! Surely there are better ways to control a device? After doing some work with...
View Article11 Arduino Blogs for July
In a bid to help other Arduino users find some inspiration and help I’ve written a brief round-up of the latest blogs I’ve seen/ read from the Arduino Forums feel free to send me links to your blogs...
View ArticleArduino Robot Arm – LarryArm v0.1
[ad#Google links] I have constructed a basic Arduino robot arm using 3 servos that cost me £15 in total plus a couple of hours in time to build and it’s very simple that I think anyone can replicate...
