The Raspberry Pi is a very versatile device. It can… Continue reading The Raspberry Pi: A Versatile and Powerful Little Computer
Joystick: Overview
A joystick is an input device commonly used in electronic systems and computer interfaces to control the movement of a cursor, character, or object on a screen or to manipulate physical devices like robots or remote-controlled vehicles. Here’s an overview of a joystick’s components and how it works: Components of a Joystick: Stick or Handle:… Continue reading Joystick: Overview
ELEPHANT’S FOOT IN 3D PRINTING
Elephant’s Foot is a common issue in 3D printing, especially when using certain materials like PLA or PETG. It refers to a phenomenon where the first few layers of a 3D print appear flattened, deformed, or wider than the rest of the object. This problem occurs during the initial printing layers, and it can lead… Continue reading ELEPHANT’S FOOT IN 3D PRINTING
LIDAR
LIDAR, which stands for “Light Detection and Ranging,” is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances with high precision. It works on the principle of sending out laser pulses and measuring the time it takes for those pulses to bounce back after hitting an object. Here’s an overview of how LIDAR… Continue reading LIDAR
L298N Motor Driver
The L298N is a popular motor driver integrated circuit (IC) commonly used in robotics and electronic projects to control DC motors and stepper motors. It’s a dual H-bridge driver, which means it can control the direction and speed of two DC motors independently or drive a single stepper motor. Here are some key features and… Continue reading L298N Motor Driver
WARPING IN 3D PRINTING
Warping in 3D printing is a common issue that occurs when the edges or corners of a printed object lift or curl upward during the printing process. It can result in a distorted or unusable print and is a significant concern, especially when printing larger objects or using certain materials like ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene).… Continue reading WARPING IN 3D PRINTING
INVERSE KINEMATICS
Inverse kinematics (IK) is a mathematical and computational approach used to determine the joint angles or parameters of a robotic system required to achieve a desired end-effector position and orientation in three-dimensional space. In other words, it’s the process of working backward from a target position and orientation for the robot’s end-effector to calculate the… Continue reading INVERSE KINEMATICS
HYDRAULIC RAM PUMP
A hydraulic ram pump, also known as a ram pump operates as a water pump driven by the energy of moving water. It accepts water under certain hydraulic head and flow rate and outputs water at a greater hydraulic head while reducing the flow rate. No external energy is needed to run the ramp pump.… Continue reading HYDRAULIC RAM PUMP
