Arduino Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion
In this tutorial we learn how to do do an Arduino Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion (and Fahrenheit to Celsius too!). It’s a pretty simple operation and one that is asked quite often in the forums. Understanding the Difference Between Celsius and Fahrenheit So before we learn how to do an Arduino Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion, […]
Teensy vs. Arduino: What’s the difference?
In this tutorial, its all about Teensy vs. Arduino! What’s the difference? Why use a Teensy over an Arduino or vice-versa? We will touch on the basics and then dive into a few key areas to help you understand when you should use one over the other. Both are fantastic platforms with lots applications and […]
Arduino Water Level Sensor Tutorial
In this article, we’re going to do an Arduino water level sensor tutorial. We’ll go over how to wire the sensor, how it works, and some basic code examples to get you started in your projects. This sensor is also sometimes referred to as a water leak detection sensor. Watch the Arduino Water Level Sensor […]
Arduino Knight Rider LEDs (Cylon Eye)
In this tutorial, we’re going to show how to do the most awesome Arduino Knight Rider LEDs! It’s a highly requested article after our last update on blinking a single LED we sneak peaked this and apparently, everyone wants to know more! For those who might not know, Knight Rider is a TV show from […]
Arduino: Blinking an LED
After my last video introducing the Arduino, some of you commented that you needed an example of how the Arduino works that is super simple to understand. So in this video we’re going to do the absolute simplest of projects. We’re going to be blinking an LED! Arduino: Blinking an LED Video We’ve made detailed […]
An Introduction to the Arduino
In this tutorial, we’re going to do an introduction to the Arduino! I think a lot of people confuse them with the Raspberry Pi line of single board computers, and they are very different products that do similar but different things. I’m sure if you’re even the slightest bit geeky or at all into DIY […]
Arduino Ultrasonic Sensor Tutorial
The ultrasonic sensor is one of the most common sensors used in Arduino projects. It’s one of those must have sensors for many projects that require inputs for navigation. For example, an Arduino RC car or other robot will likely need an ultrasonic sensor to measure how close it is to a wall or other […]
Control High Voltage Devices with an Arduino
One of the best features of the Arduino is the ability to control relays. Relays allow a circuit of one voltage or current to be operated by a circuit of a different voltage or current. In the case of an Arduino that operates at either 3.3V or 5V DC, connecting a relay allows us to […]
Setup an IR Remote for an Arduino
In this tutorial we will learn how to setup an IR remote for an Arduino. IR remotes can be used in your projects for all kinds of things. You can use an IR remote to turn on and off a device, LED, relay, or even use it to steer an Arduino robot or automated vehicle. […]
How to Setup a Keypad on an Arduino
In this basic tutorial we will learn how to setup a keypad on an Arduino. Keypads can be used to control access to things, such as unlocking a door or a safe. Keypads can be added to a myriad of Arduino projects, for learning, or for real world projects. In addition to controlling access to […]
