Most examples in this article use an OLED display. Countdown timer example In its simplest form, a countdown timer can be coded like this, using the loop() for repetition (no for- or while-loop needed!): Download the sketch: oled_display_countdown_start_button.ino Full simulation…
The BLE-Nano as sold here is a combination of a traditional Nano with a Bluetooth BLE module, based on the CC2540 BLE bluetooth chip. The Bluetooth module is directly connected to the TX, RX pins of the Arduino (pins 0…
An example to control the intensity of vibration using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for the Vibration DC Motor Module. This page has details on controlling this module for both Arduino and the Raspberry Pi Pico (with MicroPython). Further down Pulse…
This short tutorial introduces the ESP32 module (a Lolin32 Lite) and connects an HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor. The entire prototype will be powered by a battery and sent its data to a webserver via Wifi. It is assumed you have installed…
This short tutorial introduces the Optical (infrared) distance sensor (Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F). It is assumed you have installed the Arduino IDE and have some basic understanding of using electronics and wiring a breadboard. If you want to learn more or if anything is…
Information on how to use an 0.96 inch OLED Display (128*64 pixels) with an Arduino. This is an i2c module, which makes it easy to connect as it has only 4 wires. It is assumed you have installed the Arduino…
This tutorial uses the Arduino Nano, but you may also use an Arduino Uno. You might need the Arduino Nano pinout diagram or an other diagram for your particular model of Arduino. We are going to use the diagram below…
This article highlights four different ways you can make sounds with the Arduino or play music. It starts with the easiest one: (1) adding a small buzzer, then (2) a standard loudspeaker, then (3) using your smartphone as the speaker…
This page explains the use of the TCS3200 colorsensor and shows how to create a small holder for it, which can be mounted on the Rover Car. It is also possible to just use the holder (without connecting it to…
Information on how to use displays in combination with the EVShield. Small (oled) displays can be a great addition to a robot powered by an EVShield, like the Rover. It can be used to display all kinds of information about…
