I have started this joystick controller experiment inspired by the need of a simple DIY joystick which could deliver greater flexibility in the possible designs. Hardware component basis is very ...

To interface a Analog input (angular displacement sensor POT) and scale the values up on change in the input. Analog signals – directly measurable quantities in terms of some other quantity. Examples: ...

Analog signals – directly measurable quantities in terms of some other quantity. Examples: Thermometer – mercury height rises as temperature rises Car Speedometer – Needle moves farther right as you ...

The Joystick module is similar to analog joysticks found in gamepads. It is made by mounting two potentiometers at a 90 degrees angle. The potentiometers are connected to a short stick centered by ...

If you are looking for an inexpensive, accurate, easy-to-use temperature sensor, then LM35 is an excellent choice. It has an accuracy of ±¼°C at room temperature and ±¾°C over a full −55°C to 150°C ...

Before I start talking about this really cool thing called Arduino (Italian for "good friend"), let me say a few things about the fascinating subject of physical computing. Physical computing has been ...

Building on the foundation of my previous article, MATLAB & the Arduino Hardware Support Package: A Powerful Combination for Engineering & Embedded Systems, we now delve into an applied project that ...
