I want to run my project using battery. I am using Adafruit Feather M0 Bluefruit LE. I want to know can I face any issue with battery temperature and how can I keep a trace on the battery temperature. If somebody knows how to solve this problem if I use Arduino boards please inform. I think same solution can work for Feather M0.
Any HELP would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
The ONLY solution is to use additional sensor to check the temperature of the battery. There is no other way. P.S. There are batteries which comes with implemented temperature sensor but most of them if not all are really pricey. I hope that help.

Hello and in advance thank you for reading my post,
I am working on a project which is controlled by a stepper motor which also includes an encoder. I have made the motor running and now I want to proceed to the next step and include the functions of the encoder. I know that the encoder tells me the actual position travelled by the motor, however, as I am still quite a newbie, I have unfortunately no idea how to include the information of my encoder into my code (which library? which variables). Both motor and encoder are connected to my Arduino Uno and I have also attached a photo with the corresponding pins for the encoder.
Thank you for any much required help
Here's a huge list of resources and libraries, that should get you started: http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/RotaryEncoders
I'd recommend using this library as it automatically takes advantage of the interrupt capabilities, if you connect the encoder to the correct pins (2 & 3 on the Uno). You might need this in order to still get precise measurements even at high rpm.

Is one Arduino Uno enough for building a rover with heat sensor and proximity sensor? Is it able to perform all 3 tasks?
a "heat sensor" like a contact chip/termocouple/infrared contactless thermometer, and a sonar as "proxymity sensor" are very esay to implement with arduino.
with infrared thermometer i've seen project of thermal imaging.
Arduino DOES NOT have enought ram/cpu to do real image processing, but if you are fine with very low resolution (like 30x30 pixel, please note exponential grow) or you use arduino as "bridge" for a more performing elaboration (like send pixel over some bus to a PC) is is possible.
i've seen 600*400 photo taken by a serial camera and sent direclty back to pc in like 60 seconds, but i've also seen movement followinf done real time using the mouse's optical cmos sensor (they are like 36*36 pixel)

I bought a RC Helicopter and I'm just wondering that it's possible to be reprogrammed or not?
If can how to do that? I know this question sounds ridiculous. :)
Thanks for replying
What do you mean reprogrammed?
If you want to make the remote control a light instead of a motor, the answer is yes. If you mean add any intelligence to the toy, the answer is no.
If you are interested in programming, building robots etc, look into microcontrollers. The Arduino is a great one for young enthusiasts.
Some parts of the RC helicopter you can reprogrammed like the ESC, and the main circuit board always can't reprogrammed. Of course, there was exception, for some beta version, most of the board you can reprogrammed in limitted range

I have the Arduino Mega,
i need more than the 40mA supplied by the pins to power up my dc-motors,
Is there a way to increase those 40mA to more like 100mA or so?
thanks
This isn't an SO question since it doesn't have anything to do with programming ... but anyway: You don't want to be driving a motor directly from an Arduino. Aside from the lack of adequate power, the motor will also generate spikes and electronic noise which will affect the Ardunio.
There are loads of tutorials on the web here's one. If you want to be able to reverse direction then you would use what is called an H-Bridge.
You can instead of connecting the dc motor with 1 pin to each terminal (+ve, -ve)
you can connect 2 or more (to add-up the current)
assuming a pin gives 40mA and you need 100mA, then you can connect each terminal from the dc-motor to 3 pins from the arduino providing 120mA

Is there a table summarizing the differences of CPUs supported by Arduino? What's the lowest power Atmel processor that can be used with an Arduino?
Perhaps these are too obvious:
The official hardware page might be what you're looking for; clicking on any version brings up an overview which elaborates on each variant. There's also a list of official hardware on Wikipedia, although it might not be as up to date.
The lowest voltage for any official Arduino MCU is, as far as I know, 3.3 V. I'm not sure about the current; the forum thread Minimizing power consumption seems to elaborate further.
(Update by mh) Based on the table above, the lowest power Arduino-supported chip is the ATmega168 with 16 KB flash and 1K SRAM.
