EAL - ARDUINO HOVERCRAFT

รูปภาพ
Step 1: Part List 1. The base part of the hovercraft is made of flamingo. We used a big square of it, that we cut out in the wanted dimensions and made the front-end circular. 2. 2x DC motors, for rotating the propel and the fan. 3. A stepper motor driver 4. A frame, for holding the motors. For our hovercraft, we made the frame out of wood and acryl. 5. A bluetooth module, for controlling the hovercraft. We used a HC-05 Bluetooth Module. 6. Arduino board, breadboard, wires, 9v batteries and a 12v adapter. We used the Arduino Mega 2560. 7. Propeller + Fan. We downloaded our propeller from Thingiverse, and printed them at our school  Step 2: Making the Boat In the center of the base, we cut a hole for the fan, which is going to levitate the hovercraft. On the bottom, we wrapped on a plastic bag, and poked a lot of small holes in it, to make the air run through, and make the hovercraft levitate We then used duct tape to se...

Arduino Projects: Color Sensor

รูปภาพ
We’ve learned how to use the LCD module, the microphone module, LEDs and the potentiometer. Those are devices you will make use of most of the time. Today, we are going to be working with the Arduino color sensor module. It is a quite unpopular piece but often very useful and easy to use. The color sensor can be used in projects like the skittle sorting machine. This project will consist of letting the sensor read colors and using the LCD to display the current color the sensor is reading. The color sensor is quite hard to calibrate to get the perfect results thus we will display only the following 3 colors: the red, green and blue. Arduino color sensor Parts needed 1 x Arduino Uno board 1 x TCS230 color sensor 1 x LCD with I2C converter male-female jumper wires While using the schematic below to connect the project, remember that if your Arduino board does not have separate SCL and SDA pins, you can connect the pins from the LCD to A4 and A5 (analog pins)...
