As the preeminent tool for makers, Arduino is a versatile platform that covers almost every type of creative making. With its simple-to-use coding language and fun programming concepts, Arduino enables users to create modern electronics with ease. From beginner level projects like flashing LED lights to more advanced builds such as interactive robots, there are an endless number of possibilities when it comes to building projects with Arduino. Whether you are new or an experienced builder in search of fresh ideas, these posts will provide interesting Arduino tutorials and unique ideas that may spark your creativity and motivate you take on any type of maker project!
The Tweetagraph uses an Arduino to capture the dots and dashes created by the telegraph. The Ardruino itself is running Firmata (now comes as a built in library with the arduino software) so that it can talk to Processing. The Processing sketch is using the java library twitter4j which handles the communication with the Twitter API.
Just though you guys might like to see my latest Arduino project – animatronics for costuming! I show how to make a nifty little Arduino servo driver board based on the Arduino Pro Mini and there’s several code examples to get people started. I expect to see some cool Predator costumes next Halloween.
We love it when our customers share their projects! This example by Todd Moore uses an Arduino and a LoL Shield to make a simulated rain pattern on the display. Not bad for a first Arduino project! Thanks for sharing Todd. Building and coding the Arduino Lol Shield has been a lot of fun. My […]
A handy resource provided by George Graves over on the adafruit forums, based on an idea by Tod E. Kurt.
Building Wireless Sensor Networks
with ZigBee, XBee, Arduino, and Processing
Wayne and Layne have adapted Myles Metzler’s Tetris clone for use on their Video Game Shield. Myles recently ported an open Tetris clone to the Arduino. We added support for the Nunchuck (so now it works with both the Nunchuck and the Classic Controller) as well as music!
Software, meet hardware. The Netduino Mini from the Maker Shed is an open source electronics platform using the .NET Micro Framework. The board features a 32-bit microcontroller and a rich development environment, making it a perfect solution for engineers and hobbyists alike. Features 1.2″ x 0.6″ – tiny “DIP microchip” form factor with edge pins […]
