52. Arduino - Controlling Tipper with Joystick

Hey everyone!
Today I will be teaching you about controlling a tipper robot with joystick. The tipper robot will tilt upwards when you move the joystick vertically. The barrier at the back of the tipper robot will move upwards, releasing the objects stored in the tipper robot, when you press the joystick. Read on further to learn how I did this project.

Hardware components used in this project

  • Arduino Nano
  • USB Type A to mini B cable (for Arduino Nano)
  • Solderless Breadboard - Mini
  • Micro servo motor SG-90 (x2)
  • Dual-axis XY Joystick module (KY-023)
  • Male-to-Male Jumper wires (x6) - 10cm
  • Female-to-Male Jumper wires (x4) - 20cm
  • Jumpers (x2) - To reduce the usage of wires
  • Cardboard bracket (to act as tipper)

Setup




Your setup must look somewhat similar to that shown in the images above.

Connections

Servo1 - To control the tipper robot

  • S (Yellow/ Orange wire) - D5
  • (+) (Red wire) - 5V
  • (-) (Black/ Brown wire) - Ground (GND)

Servo2 - To control the barrier

  • S (Yellow/ Orange wire) - D6
  • (+) (Red wire) - 5V
  • (-) (Black/ Brown wire) - Ground (GND)

Dual-axis XY Joystick module (KY-023)

  • GND - Ground
  • +5V - 5V
  • VRX - A0
  • SW - D3

51. Buzz wire game using Arduino

Hello everyone! This is my first Arduino project in 2020 and it is going to be a fun and simple project. You would have heard of the Buzz Wire, a steady hand game, and today you will be learning to make one using Arduino. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Nano USB Type A to mini B cable (for Arduino Nano) Solderless Breadboard - Mini and Full-size LEDs (x2) - Green and Red Resistors (x2) - 220 Ω  Active Buzzer module (KY-012) LCD display module with I2C interface - 16x2 Male-to-Male Jumper wires (x4) - 10cm Female-to-Male Jumper wires (x5) - 20 cm Jumpers (x5) - to reduce the usage of wires Copper wire  Tape (or any form of insulation)  Setup Your hardware setup must look somewhat similar to the ones in the images above. The beginning and end of the copper wire maze must be taped to prevent conductivity between the wire loop and maze. Connections LCD display module with I2C interface GND - Ground VCC - 5V SDA -...

70. Arduino Stopwatch and Timer

Hello everyone! Today I am going to explain you about making an Arduino Stopwatch and Timer, which can be used for time based projects. Read on further to learn more about this project. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Uno USB Type A/ B cable Solderless Breadboard - Full+ LCD display module with I2C interface - 16x2 Potentiometer - 10K Push-buttons (x5) Active Buzzer module (KY-012) LED - Red Resistors (x6) - 10kΩ (x5) and 220Ω (x1) Male-to-Male Jumper wires - 10cm and 20cm Jumpers - to reduce the usage of wires Hardware setup Connections 10K Potentiometer S - A0 (+) - 5V (-) - Ground (GND) Active Buzzer module S - D7 (+) - 5V (-) - Ground (GND) 16x2 LCD display module with I2C interface GND - Ground VCC - 5V SDA - A4 SCL - A5 Push-buttons (+) - 5V (-) - Ground (GND) S - D2, D3, D4, D5, D6 Coding Now, I will explain you about how this real-time project works and you can figure out the coding by this idea.  Push-buttons and their functions D2 - Set Countdown timer D3...

85. Analog and Digital Clock on Adafruit TFT Display using Arduino

 Hey everyone, Sorry I have not posted in a while. Today, I will be presenting you my Analog and Digital Clock on Adafruit TFT Display using Arduino. You can find the schematic and code explanation within this post. Read on further to learn how I did this project. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Mega 2560 Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino w/ Capacitive Touch - You could also use any other Arduino compatible TFT display DS1307 RTC Module Solderless Breadboard - Half+ (This is optional if you are connecting the RTC module to the development board directly) Jumper wires (x4) - Male/Male jumper wires if using solderless breadboard. Female/Male if connecting RTC module directly to Arduino Mega. Software apps Arduino IDE - latest version is recommended Setup Connections DS1307 RTC Module SCL - A5 SDA - A4 VCC - 5V GND - Ground Adafruit TFT Touch shield You can simply place the Adafruit TFT Touch shield onto your Arduino Mega 2560 development board.
