Arduino with RF module, custom data transmission.

Submitted by SebastianR on Mon, 04/28/2014 - 00:08

Some usual RF devices are those digital modules where a button or command generates an digital output on the receptor, this limits the amount of control that can be generated on the receptor to a few "channels". In most cases some "complex" custom comunication is required, where the RF modules need to handle any type and size of information the process require.

4 Channel RF control on Arduino

Submitted by SebastianR on Mon, 04/14/2014 - 21:56

RF modules offer the capability to wirless transmite datta on electronic and robotics projects, this modules are extremly easy to use and are quite cheap (about $5 USD) wich make them ideal for projects

In this little example an Arduino UNO board with 2 micro servo motors will be controlled remotely using an XY-DJM-5V SC2272-M4 RF controller. Note that this module is intended for be used as a simple relay on its digital pins, other modules allow more deep radio frequency communication.

Simple analog and digital control prototype using Arduino and Python

Submitted by SebastianR on Tue, 05/07/2013 - 22:00
Building hardware interfaces for programs and robotic projects its always easy with Arduino, the communication capability of the board allows to send data directly to a computer or logic circuit with no need for complex custom electronic configurations. The prototype was created to test the following capabilities and characteristics for Arduino and Python working in together:

  • Arduino analog and digital read
  • Arduino Serial communication 
  • Python Serial port reading
  • Python periferical control emulation

LM-Plot Serial Devices Plotting Program

Submitted by SebastianR on Tue, 10/09/2012 - 03:04

LM-Plot it's a simple and easy to use program intended to be a useful tool for electronic and robotic projects where common data analysis is required on real time samples, using the serial port to catch data the user choose to plot immediately the variable or record the data streaming into a permanent file. The program also allows to configure some plot settings in order to improve understanding, presentation and data storing for later interpretation.

Common subjection parts | Free library 1

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 07/14/2012 - 21:29

In almost all design assemblies the use of subjection parts is imperative, the correct selection of this elements highly affect the process of manufacture and real world assembly. Thinking in a low costs, highly maintainable, standard desing could be the diference between a failure and a succes project.

This is a little Free Library of common subjection parts that can be used in any project.
