At Maker Faire Milwaukee this past weekend, [basement tech] was showing off his latest build, a PID controlled charcoal grill. While it hasn’t QUITE been tested yet with real food, it does work in ...

A few weeks ago, I installed an automatic water heater switch to my bathroom, but it was a crude device. What I really want to do is design a universal heater driver. That basic idea can be adapted to ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a Arduino based Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) temperature control system using an Arduino UNO, R-type thermocouple, and solid-state relay (SSR ...

PID control has been in use for a long time in industry, but only for the past few years has it been introduced into environments such as Arduino, with rather concise libraries and no graphical aids.

Hands-on experience in 'embedded systems and robotics' This project enhanced my understanding of 'control systems, sensor integration, and embedded programming'. Excited to explore more in 'robotics ...

[Jason] learned a lot by successfully automating this meat smoker. This is just the first step in [Jason’s] smoker project. He decided to begin by hacking a cheaper charcoal-fed unit first, before ...

This project implements a joystick controlled robot using an Arduino Mega 2560. The robot has two DC motors with encoders, and a joystick to control its speed and direction. The speed of the motors is ...

Abstract: Aquatic unmanned robotic systems have gained popularity due to their abilities to perform a wide range of applications at low cost and no risk to human lives. This research investigates the ...
