What is a Relay? A Relay is a electronic operated switch, relay’s uses an electromagnet mechanical to operate the switch and provide electrical isolation between two circuits. Is this lab project we don’t need to isolate one circuit from other,
Starter #15 Using Photo Resistor and LEDs
This sketch guide you to create a LED animation transition using LDR ( Light Dependent Resistor) with Arduino. Photo Resistor are variable resistor which change resistance depending on the light hitting the sensor. When you put your hand closer to
Installing drivers for Arduino Uno R3
It is important to follow the steps mentioned next to be able to use the Arduino Uno R3 and some other boards. Please check the Arduino website for up-to-date references. 1. Plug your board in and wait for Windows to
Installing drivers for Arduino Duemilanove, Nano, or Diecimilla
When you connect the board, Windows should initiate the driver installation process (if you haven’t used the computer with an Arduino board before). On Windows Vista, the driver should be automatically downloaded and installed. (Really, it works!) On Windows XP,
