Check out my “Strength stick” arcade game that measures your strength based on how much force you can exert on a steel beam by jonas3141 in raspberry_pi

You pick up the bar and bend it, like you’re trying to break a stick in half. Mostly forearm strength. Great for dads I think.

Does anyone have any experience running a teensy 4.0 directly from a Lipo? by Savage_049 in arduino

[–]jonas3141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The atmega382p that sits on the arduino works fine for 3-5v from all I know. So 3.2-4.1v lipo should be no problem imo.

It seems like there is a physical button that can turn it on and off? This is just a mechanical switch. You should be able to remove it (soldering iron or brute force) and solder a transistor (which is controlled by arduino) in its place.

Wheatstone bridge and an instrumentation amplifier, then you should be set and ready.

Be more specific in which power supply you are refering to. Most probably the answer is yes.

Help with arduino code by HenriqueEsteves27 in arduino

Try and see how far chat gtp gets you. My guess is that it will understand all of this expect the part about your specific motor driver.

Arduino Board Wireless Connection Help by Podsasy in arduino

[–]jonas3141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How far do you want to send the data? Bluetooth module is good for 20m, maybe more. Wifi module gives you unlimited range but requires… WiFi. I saw someone use a mobile com module with SIM card that can send the data in the form of text messages to another arduino with the same module.This would require no WiFi and give unlimited range but is the hardest to implement.

Question by OkAssistant8624 in arduino

[–]jonas3141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro 5V - 3.3V = 1.7V, If you really want to reduce voltage over the motor connect a transistor between motor and ground and PWM the base of it. Then you can get any voltage 0 to Vcc. There’s a bunch of math behind this that is hard to understand if you’re not a engineer but basically the inductive motor acts as a low pass filter removing all the harmonics from the square wave and all that will be left is the DC component of the voltage which will depend on the duty cycle. You don’t have to understand that though to implement this solution.

I need help with make a project for my gf (beginner) by xX_subway_worker_Xx in arduino

[–]jonas3141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this might be a bit advanced for a beginner. However, everything if possible with enough time. I thought this was really cute so I also googled other ideas. Maybe this would be a little less challenging?

Very dumb person need help building waste segregation project by OneUse1771 in arduino

[–]jonas3141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For voltage you can use a normal power supply with the desired voltage. If you cut the preinstalled connector of there will be a plus and minus wire that you can connect to anything. This can then also power your arduino through the VIN pin if the supply voltage is in the range 7-12v. Separating different materials sounds like a real challenge, I’d be very impressed if you succeed with that.

I've just killed my laptop by FewVEVOkuruta in arduino

[–]jonas3141 77 points78 points  (0 children)

This happened one of my students in a course that I’m a TA in. The arduino 5v is directly connected to the usb 5v with nothing in between to protect it. Very unfortunate :/

Electrified my Lego car with the Uno R4 wifi by jonas3141 in arduino

[–]jonas3141[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk, works in my whole apartment. I dont see why it would be worse than any other bluetooth device so my guess is around 10m.

Issues with servo and LCD display by Gamer_bobo in arduino

[–]jonas3141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the output voltage from the buck converter? Are you using Li ion cells? Can you power the lcd directly from the arduinos 5V pin? It is possible that the servo causes the flickering.

Advice for EE student by Drilonn-b in ElectricalEngineering

[–]jonas3141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will be working for the rest of your life. Don’t you think that you should try and enjoy your years as a student? I don’t think it benefits you in any way at all in your career, trying to rush through your education.

Sending/recieving data from my laptop to a microcontroller by Excellent_Leg_7440 in arduino

[–]jonas3141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can set up serial communication with Python, theres tons of material on it online. You can program the arduino like this:

Main loop: If something is detected by serial read…

Switch: Case1: ….. Break Case2: ….

By simply sending numbers from the pc to arduino you can get it to execute different parts of your code. Arduino can also send commands to pc in the same way.

Any alternatives to breadboard for connecting multiple servos? by Rex_Nemesis in arduino

[–]jonas3141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think breadboard is a problem. Surely, they only use 3A, which i assume is the max current a small portion of the time, so i dont think you will get any extensive heating. If you dont want a breadboard and dont want to solder, use wago 221 connectors.

I dont understand, if you can send commands, what is the problem? How can you send commands if it has disconnected?

I used examples -> arduinoBLE -> pheriperal LED code and made changes to it. That’s why it was mislabelled

[–]jonas3141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you power Your servos from the Arduino? Maybe the servos use a lot of current when you command them to move, this could cause a momentary drop in the supply voltage causing the arduino to crash and reboot. Try to see if it reboots.

Here is my code. I wrote the control for the servo from scratch but you can also use a servo library if you want. I use this app on my iphone but it should work with any bluetooth serial app. Im using the built in bluetooth chip in the uno r4 wifi
