Building an automatic barrier

Building an automatic barrier

In this project, we’re going to build an automatic gate using an infrared sensor and a servomotor controlled by Arduino. Objective Using an Arduino program, we’re going to make the automatic barrier rise when an object passes through, and lower when the...
Using a ServoHat with Raspberry Pi

Using a ServoHat with Raspberry Pi

The ServoHat is a shield for Raspberry Pi that is based on the PCA9685 controller. The PCA9685 module is a 16 channel controller that allows you to drive 16 PWM outputs via I2C communication. It allows among other things to free inputs and outputs of your...

Using a PCA9685 module with Raspberry Pi

The PCA9685 module is a 16-channel controller that can control 16 PWM outputs via I2C communication. Among other things, it allows you to free up inputs and outputs of your microcontroller and drive up to 16 LEDs or servomotors (or any other module taking a PWM signal...

Command a serial controller Maestro with Raspberry Pi

Command a serial controller Maestro with Raspberry Pi

When dealing with several servomotors and an extra number of outputs is needed to operate your robot (to control Hexana, for instance), a practical solution is to use a serial controller such as the Mini Maestro from Pololu. Prerequisite: Programming on Raspberry Pi,...
