Slot Car Racing
Racing slot cars can be fun, but knowing who’s fastest when requires precision measurement equipment. Enter, an Arduino-based lap timer. The timer detects the cars using an infrared beam and records the lap time. For each track, the best lap … Continue reading

Mini-segway using Arduino
Using a small Arduino and a couple of sensors, a segway-like, self-balancing robot can be constructed. The most interesting part of the project is not the construction, but the utilities developed in the project. Using the Arduino2Lego library, Lego NXT … Continue reading

Arduino
The Arduino is one of the flag ship products of the open hardware movement. A simple, microcontroller based motherboard with a well defined pin-out has rendered a whole forest of add-on boards called shields. But the Arduino movement is not … Continue reading
