Arduino Remote controlled robot PID Balancing Robot Arduino Nano LM35 Arduino

Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board. The Arduino platform has become quite popular with people just starting with electronics.

Today we’ll introduce plenty of amazing Arduino projects. Let’s go check them together! And we have prepared Arduino Module gifts for our lovely audiences! Come participate to win them!


1.    TürkDuino UNO R4

Arduino Haber designed türkduino UNO R4i Turkey map inspired by the Turkish flag and the Arduino UNO. It’s a special Arduino for Turkey and Turks.


 

2.    DIY multi task remote controlled robot (MDi #4)

Mech-Dickel Robotics is a big fan of the Johnny 5 robot, acting as his ideal model for robot designing. Johnny 5 robot has a friendly head, functional arms and hands, and tank tracks as a method of locomotion. As a fan, Mech-Dickel developed several similar projects, and with each iteration, they became bigger, stronger, with more functions and possibilities, and improved his creative skills. This robot has an Arduino Mega 2560 to control all 13 servo motors. Also connected to the Arduino is an H-bridge (L298N) to control the grippers (hands) and another H-bridge (VNH2SP30) to control the tank tracks DC motors (locomotion). There is one more Arduino (Nano) inside the head, which controls the LED matrices. At the bottom of the head is a Wi-Fi camera to stream images to a smartphone. This camera was taken from a Syma X5SW-1 quadcopter. Therefore, this project can be called a sequel to a lineage of robots inspired by Johnny 5.

3.    Ball Balancing PID System

This system holds a ball in balance on a plate. A webcam films the system and a python program analyzes the images to find the position of the ball. The python program calculates the tilting of the tray to prevent the ball from falling.

A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) regulator is used to compensate the movements of the ball. The position and speed of the ball are measured by the camera and these measurements are used by the PID regulator in the python program.

4.    DIY Arduino Balancing Robot--- The PIDDYBOT

The PIDDYBOT is a small Open Source balancing robot with the aim of teaching PID controls using a "hands on" concept. Anyone can play with the PIDDYBOT and start to develop an understanding of what the P, I, and D terms within the PID loop do, even if that person has no concept of the math behind the control itself. It is a great teaching tool for the classroom. The program Sean has written for the PIDDYBOT uses the potentiometers to physically control the PID terms. This way the maker can turn them in real time and see the effect they have on the control parameters. The PIDDYBOT can also be programmed with more complex programs as well. There are encoders for the wheels to add more stability, and if you like you can add Bluetooth for remote monitoring.

 


 

5.    Arduino Nano 4x 18650 Smart Charger

In the mission to correctly sort and analyze all his reclaimed lithium, Brett once made an Arduino Nano 4x 18650 Smart Charger / Dis-charger Open Source Project. This project’s discharge battery tester has a bar-code scanner that scanned bar-codes on batteries and input all the data into an Online Database Portal.



6.    Arduino Motorized Camera Slider

For people like Ahmed Ibrahim, who loves to shoot some random hobbyist videos, it’s quite expensive to buy a motorized camera slider. So, he built his own. In this tutorial, we will go through each step to build your own Bluetooth controlled motorized camera slider.

7.    Arduino Nano Programming Calculator

It’s an Arduino based programming calculator for educational and fun made by PCBWayer @Roman.

8.    Smart Trash Can

This Smart Trash Can will automatically open and close the lid by induction.



 

9.    Thermometer using LM35 Arduino


 

10. Digital weight scale

Under Easy HomeMade Projects’s how two video, he introduces the whole process to teach us how to build a digital weight scale.


 

11. DIY Brushless motor thrust stand with Arduino

Nikodem built a DIY brushless motor thrust stand with Arduino. This project solved the problem when makers want to combine different motors and propellers together.
