Arducopter is an open source quadrocopter platform based on Arduino. It uses a custom designed controller board, made for this UAV platform for rotary wing craft.. As you can see below, it has a very extensive feature list. You can fly it as a drone or using a basic controller. ArduCopter Platform Feature List :
Pighixx has created several pinout diagrams, and posted them in the Arduino forum. They’re for the Arduino UNO and for several ATMega microcontrollers, such as the ATMega 328 and the ATMega 1284p. These diagrams provide a clear picture about how to use each pin of the board and can be used as real “cheatsheets” for your …

An RGB lamp is a type of lamp or lighting fixture that uses red, green, and blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to produce a wide spectrum of colors. The term “RGB” stands for the three primary colors used in additive color mixing—red, green, and blue. By combining different intensities of these three colors, an RGB lamp …
Scott Daniels did some research on Arduino voltage measuring. He found out the the analogread() function can be improved by using the internal 1.1 volt reference. Using this reference one can read voltage more accurately. This can be used to see if your Arduino, when running on battery power, when it’s time to replace it. …
If you find the Raspberry Pi, with its seemingly endless programmability, a bit confining, here’s some exciting news: the Gertboard extender is now being shipped. Priced at $48, this companion board is arriving at the doorsteps of customers, serving as a converter between analog and digital for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts engaged in developing home automation, …
Luminch One operates as an interactive lamp responding to hand gestures. By waving your hand over it, you can activate or deactivate the lamp. Additionally, moving your hand vertically above it adjusts the lamp’s brightness. The lamp incorporates an Arduino connected to an infrared distance sensor within it, enabling the tracking of hand movements to …

Eduardo has been working on a project to build a Laser Range Finder using a Raspberry Pi, an Arduino, and OpenCV using a webcam. I hope that eventually this project may be used on a mobile robot using the algorithms taught on Udacity CS373 especially SLAM (Synchronous Location and Mapping). The First Prototype This prototype is more a proof of concept than …
