Neat demonstration of proportional and PID control systems
Liam built this impressive robot, then used it to demonstrate the difference between proportional and PID control.

OSC library for Arduino
From the MAKE Flickr pool Flickr member Recotana brings good news for Arduino users in the form of a new code library which facilitates control via the network optimized OSC data protocol. The above video demonstrates basic functionality using the iOSC app for iPhone OS, but the library could be used with any OSC software […]
Robot with a rat’s brain
Scientists from the university of Reading have created a simple wheeled robot with distance sensors that is controlled wirelessly by a network of cells from a rat’s brain. The sensor data is fed to the neurons which reside in a nutrient/antibiotic solution – the cells output is then transmitted to the ‘body’ as control commands. […]
Control Arduino with a universal remote
Here’s a helpful library that allows one to add simple IR control to projects The library implements the NEC IR protocol, so set up the universal remote for any NEC device (TV, DVD, VCR, …) and the 32-bit codes should be received. The example sketch provided just prints out IR codes as they’re received, so […]
Bubblegum sequencer @ Maker Faire
Physical beats you can eat! (or at least chew). If you’re curious about this unique confectionary controller, come get a closer look on May 3rd & 4th at Maker Faire San Mateo. There, many a sweet beat shall be dropped – Here’s how it works: A grid of holes, consisting of several rows with 16 […]
AVR based TDA7313 Audio processor control
This is a nice way to access a TDA7313 Audio processor via an AVR, an LCD screen, and a few simple buttons. The website has all the compiled firmware, WinAVR ready source files, and Eagle files available to download. The TDA7313 audio processor has been used for more than ten years in the industry because […]
Infrared remote control receiver for Arduino
Having a remote control pass data, via an Arduino and the serial port, can be a great addition to a lot of projects. This is not the most detailed of builds, but I think there is enough information there for anyone that is already tinkering with the Arduino. There is a link to the sketch […]
