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!
Punch out your designs with the Fluidforms Cassius punching bag sculpture maker, Arduino based too!- The Fluidforms Punching Bag contains a matrix of 9×7 force sensors that measure the force exerted by a blow to the punching bag. The sensors are plugged into an Arduino board that sends the values over USB to a computer […]
Mathieu writes – I whipped up a little interface yesterday, to connect an Arduino to a Radio Control Transmitter. This can be used to send commands from the Arduino to the transmitter, which will mix them with the manual input and radio them to the radio-controlled model. The Arduino is sending commands (PPM-encoded series of […]
The folks from Libelium sent in their Arduino contest, looks interesting – It is a contest for everyone who believes in Open Hardware and enjoys hacking with Arduino. It is the time to show what you have done and share it with the Community! There are 3 different categories: Common life hacks. Have you designed […]
Alberto made a really nice Arduino based theremin-like musical instrument, schematics and source on the site – photos & more.
I’m very excited about this forthcoming Arduino motor shield, it can drive 2 hobby servos as well as up to 2 steppers or 4 bidirectional DC motors. Zooooom, zeeerk, zoooom, zeeerk! – Link.
Tymm writes – Arduino boards are great for prototyping. However they get rather expensive when you have multiple concurrent projects or need lots of controller boards for a larger project. There are some great, cheaper alternatives (Boarduino, Freeduino) but the costs still add up when you need many of them. This is a way, after […]
Here’s a “software-sequencer which controls 8 solenoids that knock on different things and therefore produce rhythmic noise. Made with Puredata, an Arduino and a homemade relayboard to control the solenoids”.
