Multitasking program with Arduino Due and Scheduler

Multitasking program with Arduino Due and Scheduler

The Arduino Due board allows multitasking using the Scheduler library. It is based on an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller in 32 Bits with 84MHz. It is therefore much more powerful than an Arduino UNO. These characteristics allow it to create more powerful multitasking...
Managing an IP Camera with Python

Managing an IP Camera with Python

Whether you want to monitor your flat or the progress of your 3D printing, it can be useful to use an IP camera to have the images available from anywhere. In this tutorial, we will use an IP camera from which we will retrieve the images via Python. This tutorial can...

Using the Arduino Timers

Using the Arduino Timers

The use of timers in Arduino is an advanced method to execute code without disturbing the rest of the program. They allow to activate functions at specific time intervals. Timers are used in many libraries in a completely transparent way for the user (millis(),...
Using an L298N module with Arduino

Using an L298N module with Arduino

The L298N module is a development board based on the L298N integrated circuit allowing the driving of a DC motor or a stepper motor. We have already seen the use of the H-bridge. It can be found as a convenient module to use with different performances depending on...
