Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe we’re recently in need of making some changes to some pages on the website that we’re not working properly. Those specific pages were the pages for the OwlBot project. The code blocks on those pages for the Arduino code were giving us issues on how the pages were showing up in the browser, so […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year in 2025! We hope that you all have a healthy and prosperous new year, and we’re also hoping that you are just as motivated as we are to get things done and make more electronics and robotics projects!
Reading Time: 19 minutesProject Name: OwlBot Project Description: Part 3 build of the OwlBot, where we add the OwlBot’s flashing red LED eyes to our prototype. Project Difficulty: Easy Project Note: For this third part of the project, we’ll focus on the OwlBot’s flashing red LED eyes. We’ll update the code for when motion is detected by the […]
Reading Time: 27 minutesProject Name: OwlBot Project Description: Part 2 build of the OwlBot, where we add an MP3 player to the OwlBot prototype to give it the ability to make sound when motion is detected by the PIR sensor that was installed in Part 1 of the build. Project Difficulty: Easy Project Note: For this second part […]
Reading Time: 24 minutesProject Name: OwlBot Project Description: Part 1 build of the OwlBot, where we start by getting the prototype of the OwlBot to sense infrared motion. Project Difficulty: Easy Project Note: For this first part of the project, we’ll focus on the OwlBot’s infrared sensing capabilities using a PIR sensor module. Introduction In this project we’re […]
Reading Time: 9 minutesWhat is a DC Motor? A DC motor (Direct Current motor) is a device that converts electrical energy into usable mechanical energy, such as with its rotational energy. It operates on the principle of electromagnetism, where a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a force, resulting in motion. How DC Motors Work DC […]
Reading Time: 16 minutesWhat is a Transistor? A transistor is a semiconductor device that serves as a fundamental building block in modern electronics. It is primarily used to amplify or switch electrical signals and power. Transistors are composed of semiconductor materials of either P-type or N-type, where these materials are sandwiched together to form P-N junctions. These junctions […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA sneak-peak as to what the next project will entail. The picture may look spooky, but I assure you that the project will not be terrifying at all 🙂
Reading Time: 13 minutesHave you ever wondered how electricity goes into your electronic device, swirls around in there, and does something useful? Maybe you’ve thought to yourself, can I control that electricity? If so, how? First, let me tell you, that those questions are excellent, and to help guide you into how electricity is controlled — or to […]
Reading Time: 23 minutesProject Name: The Ultimate DIY 3220-Point Breadboard Project Description: Building a 3220-point solderless breadboard with carrying case that will provide storage capability and contain a variety of power supply options, such as a 12V charge adapter to plug in any wall outlet for instant power supply. Project Difficulty: Moderate Project Note: This project uses a […]
