A description of a code library in Arduino programming.

This video tutorial walks through the use of the random() and randomSeed() function as it pertains to Arduino. We first investigate the output of the random function, why we need to use the randomSeed function to generate more apparent...

Want to do multiple thing with Arduino? Then master the Arduino millis function!

Hello, I hope you’re doing fantastic. In this series, we’ve been talking about using the Arduino millis function to create...

Demonstration of an early Bristlebot, a small cleaning brush that moves through motor vibrations. The Bristlebot has been fitted with an Arduino Uno microcontroller board, L293D motor shield, 2 x 5V DC motor and a lithium ion battery.

A walk through of a User Defined Function in programming.

Lets have a discussion about a powerful and semi-confusing programming topic - variables.



A variable is like a bucket. You choose what types of stuff you want in the bucket and can change the contents...

Welcome to this introductory course on MATLAB! This course is intended to help you start programming in MATLAB from little or no prior experience. There are video tutorials for each exercise if you have...

Lets expand the repertoire of output that we can use by looking at the function analogWrite(). I experienced much confusion with analogWrite(),...

10 Arduino Grove Modules<br/>
Have you heard of the Arduino Grove System from Seeed Studio? Check out our video to learn more about the Arduino Grove System and to see some Arduino code examples using the Grove system.

A demonstration of a custom-built, touch-free automatic hand sanitiser. A special FC-51 sensor detects hand proximity from the pump dispenser, which activates a 15kg torque servo to pull the dispenser downwards and allow hand sanitiser...

A description of variable scope in programming.

A walk through of programming a for loop to light up multiple LEDs

Let’s look at a concrete example. The ASCII character capital G is represented by the bits 0100 0111. If we were to monitor the logic levels of the TX pin on the Arduino UNO while we are printing a capital G using Serial.begin() and...

Have you ever wanted to connect your Arduino to the internet? Your first thought was probably like okay, I guess I'll need some type of Wi-Fi shield or a Wi-Fi enabled board in order to connect to the internet. But what if you're...

Are you trying to use Serial.read() to get data from a serial port to your Arduino? Maybe you’re using the Arduino Serial Monitor window and sending in data, or maybe you’ve got a...

Using analogRead() to read analog inputs with Arduino.

This video walk through assembling the popular DFRobot Pirate.  It focuses mostly on what the instruction manual leaves out, which I hope will save you some time!

Commenting out code. What does that mean exactly? Now, I'm not talking about commenting code. That's kind of a discussion in and of itself. I'm talking about commenting out code. That's when you kind of selectively turn off some of the...

A demonstration of a home lighting simulation project that uses an Android smartphone and bluetooth connectivity to turn lights on and off. Use of a subdivided shoebox lid and LED lights for 'rooms' and home lighting respectively. An...

Do you ever find yourself doing repetitive tasks on your computer and you think to yourself, I know this could be automated.

Well, what's cool is a lot of stuff can be automated using an Arduino and the USB libraries that...

If you are new to writing code with Arduino it can be confusing on how to organize the program. But once you know where stuff goes in an Arduino program it's actually pretty simple. In this lesson, you are gonna learn how to organize the...

Demonstration of a custom-built bluetooth dual-motor remote control car. Both car and remote control use Arduino Uno and Arduino Nano microcontrollers respectively, with independent HC05 bluetooth modules that are programmed to...
