Naguino: an Arduino-based LCD monitor for Nagios and Incinga
Maker Jan-Piet Mens has fashioned a rather useful network monitoring device using an Arduino Duemillanove, Arduino Ethernet Shield and S65 shield.
Arduino
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!
Guitar Hero robot in action
It’s exciting to see this project progressing: first, Joe Bowers sent us his Arduino-based note visualizer (it blinked LEDs in sequence with the game’s notes). Now, he’s grafted the Guitar Hero controller’s board onto it. Joe mentioned having some difficulty sensing notes when the flame effects burst around the fret board. He’s had pretty good […]
Paperduino
Guilherme created what may be the most inexpensive iteration of Arduino yet – This is a 100% functional version of the Arduino. We eliminate the PCB and use paper and cardboard as support and the result is.. the PAPERduino :D This is the the first version of the layout design, next we will try more […]
SOBEaR, robot bartender
This proof-of-concept robotic teddy bear bartender dispenses drinks, but only after he tests your BAC (blood-alcohol content). SOBEaR v02 :: the responsible robot bartender
TV output from Arduino with TellyMate shield
I like the thought of sending serial print commands to my TV set. This shield, by the awesomely named Batsocks, was designed to do just that. It was originally designed for PAL signals, but has been modified now to output to NTSC sets as well. This would be useful for picture-in-picture mode on a TV […]
A Twitter-enabled toilet
Hacklab.to is at it again. This time around they’ve made a twittering toilet using an Arduino and an Adafruit ethernet interface. The toilet will post to Twitter with every flush. Seth Hardy, who came up with the idea, says: Everyone is making things that connect to Twitter, and the Arduino environment makes it easy to […]
Serial – MIDI software for Arduino
From the MAKE Flickr pool Routing MIDI data to/from Arduino (or similar) seems like it should be a relatively simple task, but often ends up being much more complex. Mark of Spikenzie Labs created a very handy piece of software for just such occasions. Built using Processing, the Serial – Midi Converter translates makes that […]
