Hi fellows,
I just noticed arduino on the dtv shredder while watching its test ride video on engadget.Here below you can see it under the red veroboard.The USB Plug , Made In Italy logo it’s totally an Arduino.
Why it’s a big deal?
It’s felt nice to see even in such big projects they use same hardware we -avarage geeks- use.It is quite encouraging isn’t it?
IMHO it’s very encouraging.I hope i can come up with such a big idea one day.

Here is the first step in making of Self Balancing Robot. In this step i worked on Bluetooth & Serial Communication.
Communication scheme:
N95 —(Bluetooth)—> PC —–( Serial)—-> Arduino
I used the same motor driver shield which i already made back in Narduino Project.
If you havent heard about Narduino Shield and its simple design done on veroboard click here to see it and its circuit diagram.
After the Narduino shield properly connected to motor wires and the supply connection , it is time to talk about coding…
Here below , i shared all the codes used in the project.

I just had an idea yesterday that can get me to make a self-balancing robot without buying any expensive electronic components.
You know last summer i made a cellphone controlled RC Car which had a tabletpc onboard to get commands via bluetooth.That time , having an onboard tabletpc , save me from buying a bluetooth chip which costs about 60$.
This time, to make a self-balancing robot i’ll have to have whether an Accelerometer or a MEMS Gyro to track rotation of the robot.
Those sensors are pretty expensive too.So i’m thinkin about putting my n95 smartphone onto the robot.As i have Accelerometer on the smartphone i can use it to measure rotation movement of the robot.
I tried to explain how it is going to work in the photo.
And the finished robot will look something like this:
Hi fellows,
It’s been quite a while since these projects first appeared on Make:Blog but i didnt share those on my blog.So i decided to have them on my blog. :)

Hi everybody,
Here is a photo of my homemade shields for arduino.
Upper-Left:Narduino2.0 – L298 Motor Driver Shield
Upper-Right: MIDI Controller with 3 LEDs for feedback
Lower-Left:Narduino1.0 -Same Functionality with Narduino2.0 except Veroboard.
Lower-Right: IR-Liqard – Data Monitoring Shield with IR receiver.
visit my flickr page for closer photos.
MIDI Controller Shield is the latest one i made.I used to play with FLStudio just for fun and i thought it would be fun to control pitch , modulator and volume controls with potentiometers. I used LoopBe1 and S2MIDI softwares to convert incoming serial data to a virtual midi port. I recorded a video demo. of the MIDI controller.I’ll upload it asap.
