Arduino Servo Control




In this Project, we want to control servo motor potitions from analog sensor ( potentiometer or flex sensor ).
The Hardware


Write from Arduino to LCD


 Scheme Description:
  • Connect the LCD RS pin to the Arduino pin 12
  • Connect the LCD enable pin to the Arduino pin 11 
  • Connect the LCD D4 to D7 pins into pin 5 to 2 Arduino
  • Connect the LCD +5 and ground to pin +5 V and ground Arduino
  • Connect the pin to a potentiometer LCD Vo. Use of this potentiometer is to adjust the LCD contrast

Temperature Sensor Using Arduino and LM35



LM35 is a temperature sensor from National Semiconductor that have a high accuracy. The output of analog voltage and has a measurement range of -55 º C to +150 º C with an accuracy of ± 0.5 º C. Output voltage is 10mV / º C. Output ports can be directly connected to Arduino, because Arduino has 6 ADC ports (analog input).

Interfacing Arduino and PC using VB 6




One of the conveniences that exist on the Arduino is a serial communication function that has been bundled in the Arduino software. With the serial function, then the Arduino can communicate two ways with PC using a program created with Visual Basic 6.
In this project, we will combining the Digital Data and Analog Data. How to receive and transmit Digital and Analog Data  from Arduino to PC and vice versa.

Arduino Conditions:
  1. Digital Input Signal from Push Button
  2. Analog Digital Input Signal from LDR
  3. Digital Output Signal at LED (on-off)
  4. Analog Outpuy Signal at LED (brightness).

Arduino Uno





The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 replaced old version Arduino called Arduino Duemilanove. Arduino Uno will initially be named Arduino Uno Punto Zero (Italian) which means Arduino 1.0. However, that name is to long, so to be short and easily remembered by the world, finally selected the name Arduino Uno, orArduino version 1.0
Arduino Uno has significant changes compared with the change of board Diecimila to Duemilanove (2009).
