A few weeks ago, I installed an automatic water heater switch to my bathroom, but it was a crude device. What I really want to do is design a universal heater driver. That basic idea can be adapted to ...

In this quick Arduino tutorial I will explain how you can control a relay using the Arduino Board, one 1K and one 10K resistors, 1 BC547 transistor, one 6V or 12V relay, one 1N4007 diode and a 12V fan ...

This project focuses on PID-position-control experiments with Arduino. The HTML/JavaScript-based GUI enables easy optimization of the parameters. Since there are many articles on the internet about ...

We’ve been hiding away in air-conditioned comfort to wait out the hot weather afflicting most of the US right now. Luckily we’re keeping busy with the great links coming into our tips box. [Brett] ...

PID control has been in use for a long time in industry, but only for the past few years has it been introduced into environments such as Arduino, with rather concise libraries and no graphical aids.

The PID controller relies on three main parameters: Proportional (P), Integral (I), and Derivative (D). These parameters are adjusted to precisely guide the car based on sensor-detected track ...

Yes, you can program Arduino with Python using the PyFirmata library. While Arduino traditionally uses C++ code, Python can control Arduino boards through the Firmata protocol, allowing you to ...
