I am working on an Instructable where it instructs you to connect the Negative wires from two servos and a Ping sensor to Gnd. Can I connect all three to the same Gnd? Also, is there a difference between the two Gnds on an Arduino Duemilanove? Which Gnd should I connect them to?

I Have a arduino duemilanove board with the shield given on this link http://www.embeddedmarket.com/products/Sensor-and-Motor-Shield-for-Arduino/to my surprise there are four pins instead of three to connect the sensor ... so i thought to connect my SHARP IR sensor NOT on the shield but on the board ..so i bent the analog 0 pin so that it may not enter the shield.I gave the sensor by taking 5v parallel from the shield and connected it to the bent analog pin no. 0But when i took itz reading on serial monitor they arent coming as per the sensor senses...But after removing the shield and connecting the sensor in the same way , the sensor gives perfecly right valuesSo can u please help me and tell me what is the problem here..?

Ok so I am 15 enjoy working with computers but have never programmed a microcontroller before however i do know the basics of c++. So i am thinking about getting a arduino. I think i want the Duemilanove and i am thinking that i should get a starter pack becuase i do not no very much about various components and it just seems easier to have it all come at once but, i have a few questions and i also do not want to start off spending a whole lot of money. I was looking at this starter kit www.adafruit.com/index.php or maybe i could just get the budget pack on that website. In the future i might want to get a better soldering iron for this kind of stuff i usually just use a piece of crap from radioshack what iron do you recomend for a slightly better iron but maybe around $30.1. Is that a good starter kit? or do u know of a better one?2. What is the proto shield good for? 3. If i made something with my arduino and i wanted to keep it what do i do do i have to buy a whole nother duamillanova?4. honestly will I be able to make this work or is it going to be a waste of money?

Question by thakur900 | last reply
I want more outputs for my Arduino Duemilanove. I want to run a simple 16x16 LED matrix but I'd need more pins. Most instructions I find use one of several chips such as the 7442 1 of 10 decoder IC, another option might be a couple of 4017 decade counters. Can anybody recommend a method that is widely used and well documented?
Question by snotty | last reply
Okay, i know how to build the cube and to multiplex it to use only 12 pins. what i am going to do is connect each anode of each level and connect each cathode of each row, and each one will go to its own transistor. so i will have a total of 8 transistors for the anodes and 8 transistors for the cathodes, which i can further multiplex into two groups of 4x2 transistors. that makes a total of 12 pins on the arduino(i hope that makes sense ill add pics of what i mean to help) but what im asking is that i need help on writing the code for this project. i have a basic idea to run loops inside of loops to make more than one led look like theyre on at the same time(i believe its called persistance of vision) but maybe someone more experienced would be able to help me out with this. thank you to anyone helps and A Happy New Year To All Of You!!!

Question by jbyrns1993 | last reply
I have an Arduino Duemilanove and a 16x16 led matrix with no driver IC. I think I understand the basic hardware principles of multiplexing an array. It should be theoretically possible as long as I use an external system to controll half of the pins. So far I have the hardware about half done. I have some chips set up to sweep through the positive end of the rows of LEDs. I've made this by daisy chaining two 4017s together with two AND gates. This gives me a series of pins that light up by turns up to 16 with some skipped steps at 10 and 16. I got the info from here: http://www.circuitdb.com/circuits/id/154 THE QUESTION IS: Where do I go from here? I'm trying to learn how to program by doing this project. Can I adapt a persistence of vision program to run a matrix? They seem quite similar.
Question by snotty | last reply
I have an Arduino Duemilanove and an Adafruit motorshield. Both work fine, but the motors I want to run require more current than the available 0.6 amps. I tried piggybacking two more drivers on top of the existing ones, but now when I turn it on one set of chips overheats immediately. It's not a soldering error, because I've tried it with many different chip configurations and the same problem occurs. The only thing I've noticed is that the new drivers I purchased have slightly different numbers under the customary L293D- but isn't that just when and where it was made? Any ideas?

Question by nerd608 | last reply
Hello everyone! I had this awesome idea after seeing dan's instructable about his room lighting module. My idea was to do basically the same thing with the Arduino Duemilanove instead. But it turns out that this maybe a little trickier than my initial thought. What i had in mind was having 10 rgb leds(common cathode) connected in parallel(each red, green, and blue) and connect each to one of the Arduino's pwm pins and using software to control the "fading" of the different colors. The only problem i could think of with this is that the Arduino could not power more than a few leds in parallel without them either being dim or blowing the atmega on the board. Maybe there's a way to control the leds with an outside power supply, and still be able to pwm the different channels. This is where my few hours of research and not finding anything has led me here to ask help from someone who has some more experience than i. So if anyone has any way to do this other than using rgb amps, please help me out and share with me your info. Thanks in advance for any help i get.

Hello, i received an arduino (duemilanove) as a gift for christmas so im still kind of a n00b, i was wondering if it was possible to control motors directly from the arduino for an upcoming project? i would buy a motorshield but im not sure if its compatible with the duemilanove and if i do buy it i wont be able to get it until around easter I need to run two-three motors in bursts repeatedly (ex. Motor 1 for 1 sec Motor 2 for 1 sec motor 1 for 1 sec...................... you get the gist of it) Thanks in advance, Firezone

Hi my name is Nash and I've been playing with Arduino Duemilanove for about a year and just touching a little bit of everything. Right now I'm have the Arduino powering basically a pan/tilt device that rotates horizontally 360 degrees and vertically 90 degrees. Using a specific code containing one button, I can have the Arduino run a sequence of the two servos. I would like to add a second button and have a switch to choose "modes." If the switch is OFF, then pushing one button will run the sequence- simple enough. When the switch is ON, I would like the same button as before as well as an additional button control rotation of the horizontal servo. I have the code using only one button and no switch to run the sequence and the device runs flawlessly. Once I add the "switching" part to the code, the servos freak out and fidget constantly without a positive result. I am fairly new to the servo library in Arduino and am open to any kind of instruction or changes to my code below. Thanks for your help! #include Servo servo; //we think this will make the Cont-Rot servo to sit still Servo iservo; //set second servo #define button 3 //attaches button to pin 3 int ibutton = 0; //ibutton is used to store state of input #define button2 2 //second button attached to pin 2 int qbutton = 0; //qbutton stores input #define button7 7 //switch connected to pin 7 int sbutton = 0; //switch stores input void setup() { servo.attach(5); //attaches servo to pin 5 iservo.attach(6); //attaches second servo to pin 6 pinMode(button, INPUT); //sets button as input pinMode(button2, INPUT); //sets button2 as input pinMode(button7, INPUT); //sets switch as input } void loop() { ibutton = digitalRead(button); //reads state of button qbutton = digitalRead(button2); //reads state of second button Switch = digitalRead(button7); //reads state of switch if (Switch == LOW) { //if switch is off if (ibutton == HIGH) { //and ibutton is pressed iservo.write(0); //run this servo sequence servo.write(100); delay(2000); iservo.write(0); servo.write(80); delay(4000); iservo.write(0); servo.write(100); delay(2000); } if (ibutton == LOW) { //ibutton is not pressed servo.write(90); //do nothing iservo.write(50); } } if (Switch == HIGH) { //switch is on if ((ibutton == HIGH) && (qbutton == LOW)) { //ibutton is pressed and qbutton is not servo.write(80); //servo spin counter-clockwise } if ((ibutton == LOW) && (qbutton == HIGH)) { //ibutton is not pressed and qbutton is servo.write(100); //servo spin clockwise } if ((ibutton == LOW) && (qbutton == LOW)) { //neither button is pressed servo.write(90); //do nothing } } }

Question by David97 | last reply
Hey guys, I am about to set out and create Ben Heck's A/V selector. http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/13/how-to-make-a-solid-state-a-v-switcher/ He uses a bus switch, CBT3244A, Digi-Key part # 568-3619-5-ND (out of stock I believe). While I could order a comparable bus switch, I have several lying around from hacking apart a kid's toy. 74hc374. I've looked at the datasheets and, I've never been very adept at understanding them, preferring the lazymans terms. I understand that the original chip has 2 switches (to use for two separate a/v connections, or turning both on for a connection with more pins) while the chip I have has only one switch, allowing up to 8 channels to go through. What I'm confused about is the state of the "on" switch for the one I have, or maybe the clock. From what I understand, they each need to be pulled LOW (connected to ground) in order for their respective inputs to flow through, can the clock, in my case, be ignored? For the arduino tags, I do plan to make this project remote controlled. But I'm a serious beginner in this area. Basically I plan to replicate this project for arduino. http://www.tauntek.com/tinyir2-learning-ir-remote-control-receiver.htm Would there be a point to that? Or would it be simpler to just order the chip by itself already programmed. I think that programmed tinyir2 PIC chip and arduino chips come out around the same price wise. I have the other components lying around already.

Question by pavan5859 | last reply
Hi guys! So, i saw the LED cube experiment and decided that i would try one myself. Although i can definitely say i am a newbie when it comes to microcontrollers, i still would like to try and understand them. I am planning on making a 4*4*4 or 5*5*5 cube, and dump the programs that the various users have submitted. Now, most of the instructables have not specified which arduino board they used, few have, and those who did, each his own. My questions are: What are the differences between them? I mean, i saw a Due, Fio, Leonardo, Uno, Duemilanove etc etc. Are they interchangeable? Secondly, which one is better to use for the cube project? Or all the one and the same? Personally, in my area, Duemilanove is pretty cheap. Third, i would really love to understand the basics of arduino, and also learn to program it. So, if anyone have any good site or tutorial or other resources for a COMPLETE newbie like me, please do point out! Thanks! :)
