Just received LabJack U3-LV and T4 donated for the SignalLab and OpenWire Studio development + Unboxing Video

Just received 2 cool LabJack modules donated for the SignalLab and OpenWire Studio development!

Lately I have been posting mostly Visuino related updates. It is understandable. Visuino has become very popular, and there are so many new modules, gadgets, and cool robots that I keep receiving and adding in it.
This however does not mean that I have stopped work on the Mitov Software libraries. In fact not only the existing libraries have undergone major upgrade, and expansion, but there is a new library under development. The new library however will be left to be a surprise ;-)
There is also even bigger surprise hopefully coming soon to OpenWire Studio so stay tuned ;-)

Couple of days ago, I received these 2 modules from LabJack:

  • U3-LV - USB controlled module
  • T4 - USB and Ethernet controlled module

Both modules support Modbus and also have streaming functionality. The T4 even supports internal Lua scripting.
This means that both modules can be accessed from ControlLab over Modbus, and I will be working to add streaming support for them in SignalLab.

I also made Unboxing video:

And here are the modules:

I have already connected and tested the LabJack U3-LV module, installed the drivers, and have studied the Modbus registers. I plan to do some Modbus testing with it from ControlLab today, and in the following days will start work on the SignalLab streaming.

Hope to post more updates and videos on the LabJack support in ControlLab and SignalLab, so stay tuned :-)

Cheers,
  Boian

RemoteXY controlled Arduino Elegoo Smart Car Robot with Visuino - Quick and Easy!

Visuino makes it extremely easy to program Arduino and other micro controllers to be controlled from the RemoteXY mobile app over Bluetooth LE.
I have made easy Video Tutorial on how you can program Elegoo Arduino Smart Car Robot with Visuino in less than 2 minutes to control it from RemoteXY app.



Here is the Visuino diagram:
Here is the Visuino project:

Assemble the official version Elegoo Penguin-Bot Arduino Robot KIT Step 4: Assemble The Baseplate

Few of weeks ago I received another Cool Penguin-Bot Arduino Robot KIT from Elegoo donated for the Visuino development :-).

This is the Final Production Version of the Robot. I already posted videos for the Preproduction version, and now here is the first assembly video of the production version.

I already posted:
Unboxing Video 
Step 1:  Assemble The Feet, and Install the Servos controlling them
Step 2: Assemble The Legs - Part 1
Step 3: Assemble The Legs - Part 2

Here is the forth Assemble The Baseplate



I am preparing the rest of the Assembly videos and will post them in the following days. I also have showed programming the Robot with Visuino and controlling it from Delphi Application:
