Linear Actuator Position Control using Arduino XIAO BLE and MIT APP Inventor for Android @ScienceFunInnovations

Uploaded February 2023 | Updated September 2026, 1 hour ago

Tutorial Part 2 of 2

In this video I test out the XIAO BLE microcontroller from Seeed Studio. This may be my new favorite microcontroller as it is fast, powerful, and works great using Arduino Code. This video demonstrates how to control BluetoothLE devices using an application on your Android device using MIT APP Inventor. In this video I show you how to control the exact postion of a linear actuator using a smart phone, and how to display the linear actuator position on the smart phone.
