There are many operating systems: Linux, Windows, iOS,… But there are a few which can work in real time like Linux Xenomai. However, there are very little which can fit a microcontroller. One of them is a FreeRTOS. There are some variations of the FreeRTOS which can handle different conditions and requirements.
This blog post is not about such operating system, however…
Some time ago I have presented my new design a mini QuadroCopter. This new design required a controller but tailored to the size of the mini UAV.
It was quite a long time since I have written something about my QuadroCopter. Well the time has come. I have prepared a shot movie to which I invite you to watch.
Read more for some technicalities about the UAV.
The purpose of this article is to introduce you to one of the methods of making PCB which is the toner transfer method.
A model servo or servomechanism isn’t anything more than just a small DC motor with a transmission and some electronics.
I have done a few project based on AVR microcontrollers. Recently, I have given myself a chance to try out Arduino. After my home thermometer broke down I decided to make a new one. Also it had a few drawback which required fixing. After some time I decided to use Arduino and design a shield for it which would enable this board to measure the temperature and display it. So here it is:
