Playing with electronics – Motor speed control
Mon, 09 August 2010
Recently I’ve been interested in electronics, especially the hardware side of computers. It’s great to see the physical abstractions that software abstractions are built on. I found an ‘electronics project kit’ in our store room. It seems I received as a gift for one of my birthdays but never played with it. Using an Arduino board (basically an ATMEGA 328 with voltage regulator, oscillator and a cool bootloader) and some parts I found in the kit, I came up with this:-
I hope to eventually create a car that can be controlled wirelessly from the computer (Xbee or Bluetooth), and maybe even control itself through sensor inputs.
