If you have ever required a very big servo motor, or one that rotates at an angle other than 180 degrees, then this article is for you! Today we will take a Seeeduino XIAO and a potentiometer and use them to construct a custom servo motor, using a DC gear motor.
This is a project I’m doing in tandem with Jeremy Fielding and his “self-driving go-kart” build.

Today we will look at a powerful yet inexpensive machine vision sensor, the HuskyLens.
This amazing little device is based upon the powerful Kendryte K210 processor and is capable of adding machine vision capabilities to your projects.

Table of Contents1 Buck Converter Modules1.1 Voltage Outputs If you’ve followed along so far, you already know that the robot electronics are all powered using a single 11.4-volt LiPo battery, mounted on the base unit. And you also know that
There are two LiPo batteries powering the robot. We have already looked at the motor controller and its associated parts and wiring, including the 7.4-volt 2-cell LiPo battery, used to power the motor and ESCs. Now let’s take a look

The JSN-SR04T and A02YYUW are a couple of inexpensive waterproof ultrasonic distance sensors. They are easy to use, and have several advantages over the popular HC-SR04 sensor.
In this article I’ll show you how they work and how to use them with an Arduino Uno.
Today we will learn how RC Remote controls work, and how we can use them with an Arduino.
After learning two different ways of interfacing with the Flysky receiver, we will build a small robot car.
Our car will have two different modes – Normal & Spin. You’ll have to read the article or watch the video to find out what that means!
Today we will look at the Arduino IoT Cloud, an online application for building Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
I’ll show you how to get an account set up, how to configure your workstation, and how to build your first “Thing”.
The cloud was recently updated, so now even free plan users can work with the ESP32, and I’ll show you how to do that as well.
