Last fall, I grabbed a robot arm from Robot Geeks when they were on sale at Thanksgiving. The arm uses servos to rotate the base and move the joints and gripper. These work well enough but I found one ...

[Boris Landoni] put together a guide to using an inexpensive 3-axis accelerometer with Arduino. The chip that he chose for the exercise is an MMA7455L made by Freescale. It’s got a lot of nice ...

Makers, and developers that are creating robotic projects using the Arduino platform maybe interested in a new Arduino compatible gyroscope sensor created by Martin Cote based in Canada. The 3 axis ...

Reasonably priced add-on sensor modules are now widely available, and you can rig up your own fascinating hobby projects using these pre-assembled modules by linking them to suitable microcontrollers.

Kionix’s KX23H integrated sensor hub packs a low-power three-axis accelerometer and a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller (MCU) into a 3- by 3- by 0.9-mm package. Kionix’s KX23H integrated sensor hub ...

STMicroelectronics has announced high-stability MEMS sensors with 10-year product-longevity assurance – to be available later in 2018. Called IIS3DHHC is a 3-axis accelerometer with ±2.5gravity ...
