Watch-controlled Arduino robot claw

Watch-controlled Arduino robot claw | hobby robotics | Scoop.it

"The claw mechanism is 3d printed from a design on thingiverse, and Arduino controllers are used to manoeuvre the robot and servo motors. Data is sent from a Chronos watch whose buttons and built-in accelerometers tell the little critter what to do. Kind of."

Super Simple Beginners Robot! | hobby robotics | Scoop.it

I created this Instructable for the absolute n00by robot wannabe. I have noticed a huge jump in the number of beginners getting into the hobby and the number of "how do I" questions seem to be mounting. Maybe this humble little Instructable will help one or two create their first robot. You will find basic source code at the end of this Instructable.

Project Lab | hobby robotics | Scoop.it

I bought this awesome RGB LED matrix panel from Adafruit and really wanted to see if I could make it display video from an Android phone. It was somewhat difficult, but by using my Android phone, the OpenCV computer vision library for Android, a Sparkfun IOIO board, and an Arduino, I got it working.
