Chapter 2. Arduino for Robotics
With some of the basics of electricity, Arduino, and general robot building out of the way, we jump right in to some of the specific interfacing tasks that are needed to complete the projects in this book. In Chapter 1, the code examples use low-power components that can be connected directly to the Arduino (LEDs, potentiometers, R/C receivers, button switches, and so on). This chapter focuses on how to interface your Arduino to mechanical, electronic, and optical switches, as well as some different input control methods, and finally some talk about sensors.
First we discuss the basics of interfacing relays, transistors, and motor-controllers to the Arduino. We then discuss the various methods of controlling your ...
