Arduino Uno Super Starter Kit LCD Display

Arduino Uno LCD Display

An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is a great way to display information in our Arduino Uno controller. We will be wiring and programming an alphanumeric, two rows with 16 characters on each row. The display has an LED (Light Emitting Diode) backlight with adjustable contrast. This white and blue LCD will display “Hello World!” on … Read more

Arduino Uno IR Remote Control – Infrared

Arduino Uno IR Remote Control

The IR (Infrared) remote control is a great way to incorporate wireless control of your project. Infrared receiver modules are simple and easy to use. In this post, we will be connecting the IR receiver to the UNO, and then use a Library that was designed for this particular sensor. In our sketch we will … Read more

Arduino Uno Temperature and Humidity

Arduino Uno Temperature and Humidity

The DHT11 is a digital temperature and humidity sensor. It uses a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor to measure the surrounding air and sends out a digital signal on the data pin (no analog input pins needed). Its simple to use, and the update timing of the sensor is about 2 seconds. Thermistor temperature … Read more

Arduino Uno Super Starter Kit Ultrasonic Sensor

Arduino Uno Super Starter Kit Ultrasonic Sensor

The ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04) is great for all kinds of projects that need distance measurements. The HC-SR04 is inexpensive and easy to use. We will be sending signals directly to the sensor and interpreting the results without the need for a library. Ultrasonic sensor module HC-SR04 provides a 2cm-400cm non-contact measurement function, the accuracy can … Read more

Arduino Uno Super Starter Kit Servo

Arduino Uno Super Starter Kit Servo

The servomotor, RC (Hobby) Servo is a type of gear motor that can only rotate 180 degrees. It is controlled by sending electrical pulses from our UNO R3 board. These pulses tell the servo what position it should move to. We will be wiring the servo to our Arduino UNO R3 controller on our super … Read more
