It has been a long time since I wanted to control the arduino with processing and I tried a lot of libraries, and a lot of processes and I always felt that none of those were suited for what I needed. I needed something simple to implement and easy to understand, and because I am not [...]

ICU . I See You

ICU is a sub-project of the SWARS (see what a robot sees) project.

To detect faces I used the OPENCV [...]

All versions are very well documented and I totally want to try them all.

motoruino in action

I added a big capacitor (4700uF) on the PCB power connections as I had the Motoruino resetting randomly when a motor started (OddBot explains everything here)

This is a quick test drive with the demannu (unnamed [...]

Motoruino for creative robotics (arduino compatible board)

It´s since I started with robotics, that I felt the need of having a board where I could directly plug-in my motors, servos, sensors and all the stuff without having to purchase extra shields, or building pcb’s and soldering and troubleshooting and hours and hours of hard labour.. so, I decided to start designing a [...]

giving a new life to dead rc cars

I’ve found this two rc vehicles on a junk, they are in a very bad condition. The big one has the DC motor burned out, I will try to replace it.. brushless motor maybe.

They both have two different gear mode (hi and low speed), I am wishing to try it out.

This is the dead motor..
The [...]

Two more infrared sensors were added on the front, this way he’s more sensitive to the environment. Video is on the go..
You can see more details about the construction process on this post.
Updated version here.
