How to turn on a SPDT RELAY with arduino
In this tutorial, we will learn how to control an SPDT relay module with an Arduino Uno using a push button as a toggle switch. Each press of the button will change the state of the relay: if the coil is off, it will turn on and stay on until the button is pressed again […]
ROS vs ROS 2: What’s the Difference, Which One to Use
If you’re working in robotics — or thinking about it — chances are you’ve come across ROS and ROS 2. These are two of the most widely used open-source frameworks for building, controlling, and connecting complex robots.But what’s the real difference between the two? And which one should you choose today? 📖 How ROS and […]
How to create a simple Publisher Node with Python – ROS
