Reading Time: 25 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 […]
