Controlling a servo motor with Keypad KS0260
In this post, I want to show you how to control a servo motor with the Touch Keypad KS0260 from Keyestudio. In the last post Touch Keypad (KS0260) with 16 keys for Arduino & Raspberry and in the YouTube video Programming Keyestudio Touch Keypad KS0260 on Arduino UNO I already introduced the keypad and showed…
KS0260 type touch keypad at Arduino
In this post, I would like to show you how to program the KS0260 from Keyestudio type touch keypad with 16 buttons on the Arduino. The touch keypad comes pre-assembled in a small box, so all you really need is 4 breadboard cables and a microcontroller. Obtaining the touch keypad The model I have was…
Arduino Lesson #10 – NTC Thermistor
In this new blogpost I like to show how to code a NTC Thermistor at Arduino device. An NTC resistor (Negative Temperature Thermistor) is a temperature-dependent resistor. By means of a voltage divider circuit, one can measure the temperature with this component. An NTC resistor has a negative temperature coefficient, i.e. this component conducts the…
