To get started, get some M590 modules. I remcommend getting several modules becuase sometimes a used module is less than perfect and may have poor signal quality or some other problem. Build up the M590 PCB and connect to it a USB TTL...
Plug the collated ground wires into an Arduino Ground pin, and the collated +5V wires into a +5V pin (if using a Due, use the +3.3V pin or you will damage the microcontroller) and plug the other jumper wires into the correct I/O pins: Toggle switches...
First, remove any sockets that are present on the RS485 Module as we need as much free space as possible. Solder a black wire between TTL Ground and RS485 Earth. Solder 4-core cable to the left (TTL signals) side of the module and at the opposite end...
Laser-module and driverFor the laser module I choose a relatively cheep heat sink and a standard 3-layer glass lens (450 nm) and a Osram PL TB450B 1.6 W_opt. 450 nm diode from China. The lens came in a package with the heat sink.As the power source for...
Dynamixel AX-12A: The biggest problem on controlling hexapod is controlling its leg, and that is what makes choosing motors the hardest job for component part. What I'm planning to do in the future for controlling this hexapod is using dynamic...
What will we need? A smartphone, Android (3.1.x Version or higher) or iPhone iOS 6.1 (or higher). An ESP8266 module version 512KB flash (or higher). This article will cover the ESP8266-12 versionA USB-Serial converter to program ESP. I have used the...

Hardware Probably the most delicate time is the beginning is to connect the Sharp LCD screen. I have found on ebay some adapter board for the small 10 pin ribbon cable, but I finally solder it myself. This kind of adapter board with this king of connector...
LCD Backlight Circuit: Instead of trying to design my own circuit, I decided to take advantage of the open source nature of Adafruit. They have a boost circuit designed for their TFP401 board here. The only thing I discovered is that they did not update...
The 555 integrated circuit is an extremely versatile timer that can be used in many different applications. This IC has a monolithic timing circuit that is a highly stable controller capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillations. Additional...
After inserting the ROM with the Scrumpel monitor you can power-up the board. But you need to connect COM1 via FTDI or better a TTL-to-RS232 converter to a PC running a terminal program with hardware handshaking on. Otherwise the board will not...
Getting Starting - Changes to the Seeed Tutorial After a 3 or 4 week wait, your ESP8266 Serial Wifi modules have finally arrived from China. Now what? For a first program, most people head for the short tutorial at seeedstudios http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/WiFi_Serial_Transc......
OperationTTL Serial 38400 N 8 2 X-ON/X-OFF: Connect a USB (or RS-232) to TTL serial converter to the J2 connector. e.g. FTDI Friend, RLC3 Again, pin 4 "TX" is data FROM the USB/Host going TO the PID controller. RX is TO USB/Host FROM PID controller....
