usbmot

usbmot
The usbmot device controls up to two small motors, 600 mA current each, 1.2 A peak each, with an atmel atmega microcontroller connected to some host device via USB. The speed of the motors can be controlled with PWM.The device connects to a computerโ€™s usb port and controls two small electric motors using the L293D. The atmega microcontroller uses the firmware-only USB driver from objective development.[more]

Slide Show Presenter

Slide Show Presenter
Here is a slide-show forward/backward button in the size of a USB-key.Those old slide-projectors had a handy button with a cable where you could advance to the next slide or go one back. This project implements this type of controller for Powerpoint (and similar) presentations. [more]

Smiley : A solar powered robot

Smiley : A solar powered robot
Smiley is a solar powered robot.It draws power from the little solar panel on top. The motors are clocks that modified to run considerably faster than normal. The wheels are of a type found on model aircraft landing gears.This robot can feels his way around with 0.3 mm steel wires, bent to form quarter circles.[more]

Micro-step driver

Micro-step driver
Here is a Micro-step driver for bipolar step motor.It allows to connect a bipolar step motor to a personal computer through the parallel port. The circuit is, for safety reasons, optically isolated from the PC and it allows to manage motors up to 3A for phase. Moreover the digital interface allows to connect up to six motors to a single PC parallel port.[more]
