RGB LED driver
Posted on20. May, 2009 by ModuleTronics.
If you’ve got a project which calls for driving several groups of high-current LEDs (or other similar loads) with pulse-width-modulation, this pre-designed module/kit will make that easy for you. Most PIC or AVR microcontrollers do a great job of handling high current loads, but “high current” is relative to the chip, not what you might [...]

Tutorial: Servos and Pots with the Arduino
Posted on28. Apr, 2009 by ModuleTronics.
This great video shows you how easy it is to wire-up a potentiometer to an Arduino microcontroller board, read the resistance value, and then control a standard hobby servo in unison. The simple software reads the analog to digital converter to read the pot value and then does a simple calculation to arrive at the [...]

Tutorial: Using an accelerometer with the Arduino
Posted on08. Apr, 2009 by ModuleTronics.
This video tutorial shows you how easy it is to use the Memsic 2125 accelerometer module with an Arduino. The Memsic module is a very easy to use six pin, cost effective module that measures acceleration in both an X and Y direction. Each signal is output as a series of pulses on a dedicated [...]
