Introduction to Bridgeware
Bridgeware are components that bridge the gap between the worlds of computer programming and electronics. Bridgeware allows programmers to reach off their computer screens
into the real physical world with their code. Very exciting stuff!

Robot Tip: A Quick and Easy way to Mount Batteries
Mounting all the electronics and batteries onto your robot can often be
a pain in the ass. Drilling dozens of holes, measuring them all out to
line up perfect, spacers, nuts, bolts, ack! Then taking it all apart
when you have to work on something… we discovered a better way to secure
things down on our bots which is much faster. Using a
Sorbothane sheet and some
Velcro
you can fasten down just about anything very securely. Then, when you
need to take it off to work on it’s super easy. No need to try to get in
there with screw drivers and wrenches. |

How to control a DC motor from your computer Using a few widely available modular components,
you can create a flexible system that can be used to control a DC motor.
Start by selecting a
DC motor that will meet the demands of your project, then a
motor controller that can provide sufficient power to the motor. Add an
appropriate
servo controller to generate the R/C control signals, and software
to issue commands to the servo controller, and you're ready to roll! If
you need to monitor the motor speed, feedback is easily achieved by adding an
optical encoder. |
