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!
O’Reilly author Alasdair Allan on citizen science, Perl, Arduino, and more
Amongst other emerging tools the Arduino platform has made building cheap sensor platforms within the easy reach of amateurs, and professionals, alike. One of the projects I’ll be talking about in the book is a pollution detecting hoodie which live logs geo-located level of pollutants to the Internet and alerts you to increased local pollution with embedded LEDs.
Codebox: Lose your head with OpenCV
To get into the spirit of Halloween, this Codebox shows you how to use OpenCV (a computer vision library) to detect faces on your webcam and then remove their heads.

Arduino Shield List – Pin usage details for 46 shields, and counting!
A site completely dedicated to Arduino Shields. This is great! A public resource that will be constantly updated to see what shields are available for the Arduino. We love seeing public resources like this!
iPad-controlled, pole-mounted drum machines
Another cool Arduino/XBee project… 18 Darbuka drums and 36 robotic arms are controlled via wireless communication. Drum music is composed and played at a music sequencer on an iPad. The project was presented at the Bat-Yam international biennale of landscape urbanism, September 2010, as a part of the ‘Green to Blue’ ecological street project. During […]
