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!
Arduino Wave Shield pitch-control demo
Limor of Adafruit Industries posted this video demonstrating how the Waveshield kit can turn Arduino into a sample-bending audio tool. Consider for a moment that potentiometer replaced by – oh let’s say – photocells or maybe a force-sensing resistor. If you’ll excuse me – I’ve got some experimentation to go do – Wave Shield for […]
Arduino XPort shield build – Part 1
In this build I am going to be making the XPort shield that is available from LadyAda’s web site. The shield will allow you to connect your Arduino to the Internet and check your email, interact with Twitter, send SMS messages, and a whole lot more. I was inspired from the book “Making Things Talk” […]

Arduino feature in Macworld
Editing Tom Igoe’s Making Things Talk left me with the urge to build Arduino stuff all the time. When Macworld Executive Editor Dan Miller asked me if I had any cool ideas for their Geek Factor column, I didn’t have to think long. And if Dan’s reaction is any indication (“by far the geekiest article […]
Arduino text input device
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool Flickr user Vwgoatboy is working on a text-keyer using the Arduino platform – just needs a little help on the coding end to get things ship-shape. – Arduino text input on Flickr
The How + Why – Electronic taxidermy installation
Shannon writes in – The How + Why is an electronic taxidermy installation that is part of the Parsons Design & Technology senior thesis exhibit. I was inspired by vintage How + Why Wonder books to create a fictional natural history museum display with animated creatures. The butterflies flap their wings, the deep sea fish […]
