RGB LED LIGHT MATRIX

Image
In this project, we will see how to make an  RGB LED LIGHT  Matrix using simple components. LED Matrix is one of the popular Arduino projects among several DIY and hobby projects. An  RGB LED LIGHT  Matrix is one such project which many students and hobbyists put it on their to-do list of Arduino Projects. An LED Matrix can be used in sign boards with scrolling messages, display animations, synchronized music spectrum, etc. It is really fun to build an RGB LED LIGHT Matrix as it involves different aspects like circuit design, constructing the matrix, assembling the components and coding. In this tutorial, we will show you how to make you own 8×6 RGB LED LIGHT Matrix using Arduino Nano, HC-06 Bluetooth Module and an Android Phone with custom app. So, let us get started with building your own RGB LED LIGHT Matrix. Circuit Diagram This is circuit of RGB LED LIGHT Matrix project. The first image shows the connections with respect to the shift registers, ho...

Arduino RTC Tutorial using DS1307

Image
In the Arduino RTC Tutorial, we will learn about Real Time Clock (RTC) and how Arduino and RTC IC DS1307 are interfaced as a time keeping device. If you recall, we have already implemented an Arduino Alarm Clock using RTC DS1307 in an earlier project. But that project didn’t cover the basics of Real Time Clock or RTC, the specifications of DS1307 RTC IC and how to interface a Real Time Clock like DS1307 or DS3231 with Arduino. Overview An RTC or Real Time Clock is a Timekeeping device, usually in the form of an Integrated Circuit (IC). An RTC is battery powered and keeps track of the current time even when there is no power. Real Time Clock ICs are present in computers, servers, many embedded systems and in fact they are used wherever it is required to keep an accurate time.  Why do we need (RTC)?   Even though Arduino and almost all microcontrollers have built-in timers and timekeepers (Millis () in case of Arduino), they are power dependent i.e. they run as long as there is ...

Making Line Following Robot with Arduino

Image
Line Following Robot, as the name suggests, is an automated guided vehicle, which follow a visual line embedded on the floor or ceiling. Usually, the visual line is the path in which the line follower robot goes and it will be a black line on a white surface but the other way (white line on a black surface) is also possible. Certain advanced Line Follower Robots use invisible magnetic field as their paths. Large line follower robots are usually used in industries for assisting the automated production process. They are also used in military applications, human assistance purpose, delivery services etc. Line Following Robot is one of the first robots that beginners and students would get their first robotic experience with. In this project, we have designed a simple Line Follower Robot using Arduino and some other components.

Obstacle Avoiding Robot using Arduino UNO

Image
Simply  Obstacle Avoiding Robot is designed here. Robotics is an interesting and fast growing field. Being a branch of engineering, the applications of robotics are increasing with the advancement of technology. The concept of Mobile Robot is fast evolving and the number of mobile robots and their complexities are increasing with different applications. There are many types of mobile robot navigation techniques like path planning, self – localization and map interpreting. An Obstacle Avoiding Robot is a type of autonomous mobile robot that avoids collision with unexpected obstacles. In this project, an Obstacle Avoiding Robot is designed. It is an Arduino based robot that uses Ultrasonic range finder sensors to avoid collisions.  Diagram  THINGS WE NEED Arduino Uno   Ultrasonic Range Finder Sensor – HC – SR04   Motor Driver IC – L293D   Servo Motor (Tower Pro SG90)   Geared Motors x 2  Robot Chassis   Power Supply...
