Twitter Controlled Robot

I presented this project at the 28th Montréal Python meeting. I posted the slides of the presentation in my previous post here. The objective of this project was to demonstrate the use of  pyserial and XBee to wirelessly control a robot. This project was also my first attempt at using the Tweepy library. The...

Atmega328 Vcc pin

A basic Arduino clone

I received a comment from “N00B” on my Build an Arduino Clone post pointing out a mistake I made by connecting 5V power to the pin #6 instead of pin #7 of the Atmega328 micro-controller. He was right and I changed the text of the article from pin #6 to pin #7 but, what...

Parametric Arduino Case

Parametric Arduino Case

When you make a project using an Arduino board, you often need a case to attach the Arduino onto your project. This small project is my first attempt to make such a case that can be adapted to all my projects. To make it parametric I am using the OpenScad application. OpenScad is an...

A Simple Arduino Task Scheduler (1)

My motivation to write a task scheduler framework is to help me faster develop new Arduino projects. In most projects, we repeat the same tasks over and over before getting to play with the new stuff. You can jump into the code right now by downloading it from my github account at: https://github.com/pchretien/scheduler. ITask...
