Introduction to Programmable Logic Controller
Introduction A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a digital computer used for industrial automation of electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or light fixtures. PLCs are used in many industries, including manufacturing, food and beverage, water and wastewater treatment, and transportation. PLCs are designed to be rugged and… Continue reading Introduction to Programmable Logic Controller
Arduino programming using Visual Studio Code.
The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a popular platform for programming Arduino microcontrollers. While it has numerous advantages, it also comes with some disadvantages. Here are some of the disadvantages of the Arduino IDE: Lack of Modern UI/UX: The user interface and user experience (UI/UX) of the Arduino IDE are often criticized for being… Continue reading Arduino programming using Visual Studio Code.
Arduino – Not detecting Arduino board.
If your board does not appear on a port in Arduino IDE………………… Ensure you’ve connected your board with a working data USB cable. Check that your device is powered. One or more LEDs should be lit. In earlier versions of Arduino IDE 2, the Tools > Port menu option would only be displayed if at… Continue reading Arduino – Not detecting Arduino board.
Arduino: The Open-Source Hardware Platform That Changed the World
The Arduino project began in 2005 as a tool for students at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII) in Ivrea, Italy. The goal of the project was to create a low-cost and easy-to-use programmable platform for interactive art design projects. The project was started by Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, David Mellis, Gianluca Martino, and Tom… Continue reading Arduino: The Open-Source Hardware Platform That Changed the World
SCARA-Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm
The SCARA robot (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) was invented in 1978 by Professor Hiroshi Makino of Yamanashi University in Japan. The acronym SCARA stands for “Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm”. The SCARA robot was designed to be a more efficient and flexible alternative to traditional industrial robots. The SCARA robot’s design allows it to… Continue reading SCARA-Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm
ENIAC-The first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer.
ENIAC, or Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, was the first electronic general-purpose computer. It was built by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert at the University of Pennsylvania between 1943 and 1945 and was funded by the United States Army. ENIAC was a massive machine, weighing 30 tons and occupying 1,800 square feet. It contained… Continue reading ENIAC-The first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer.
