Overview

by Simon Monk

This lesson describes how to control a single servo motor using Python.

Servo motors are controlled by pulses of varying lengths. This requires fairly accurate timing. The Raspberry Pi has one pin that generates pulses in hardware, without having to rely on the operating system. Occidentalis includes an interface to make use of this pin for controlling a servo motor.

Use the Audio FX board to bring the cafe home with you! This circuit plays up to 30 minutes of audio on a loop, all inside a paper coffee cup.
Arduino Lesson 17. Email Sending Movement Detector
Use an Arduino to send an email, whenever movement is detected with a PIR sensor.
by Simon Monk
In this lesson you will learn how to use a PIR movement detector with an Arduino and to have the Arduino communicate with a Python program running on your computer to send an email whenever movement is detected by the sensor.
Arduino Lesson 10. Making Sounds
Learn Arduino, Lesson 10. Making Sounds
by Simon Monk
This is Lesson 10 in the Learn Arduino Adafruit series. In this lesson, you will learn how to make sounds with your Arduino. First you will make the Arduino play a 'musical' scale and then combine this with a photocell, to make a Theramin-like instrument that changes the pitch played as you wave your hand over the photocell.
Arduino Prototyping Mounting Plate
Securely hold your Arduino next to a breadboard
by lady ada
By popular demand! We now have the plates from the ARDX available separately. Acrylic plate is engraved and cut here at the Adafruit factory. There are mounting holes for your Arduino and a space that fits a half sized breadboard very nicely.
