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!
Holiday light Arduino project from Brian @ Hackszine– I wanted to take control of the lights on my Christmas tree this year, so I read everything I could about interfacing an LED matrix. The idea was to have a setup where I could turn individual lights on and off, and run a little program that […]
Click To Play Tinkerlog writes – Christmas is coming closer, so here is my contribution to put you in the right mood. It is a blog hitcounter, that rings a bell. Literally. It puts a smile on your face, every time someone hits your blog. And it is a great way to annoy your colleages […]
David writes in – I put this site together really quickly to document a project I’ve been working on from time to time for a while now. This device plugs into a PC and streams my friends’ latest Twitter messages across its little LED screen. There are lots of skills that would probably be of […]
Wow, Jon-Paul made these amazing Arduino Sketchup models! He writes – 3D/2D models (.3ds, .dwg, .dxf and .skp) of the Arduino Diecimila Board created in sketchup and exported to other 3D formats. This is my site. I am a subscriber to both Make and Craft and hope that I can begin to give back to […]
This project converted a Nintendo Powerpad into a MIDI controller! – Link.
uC Hobby has a piece up on the use of interrupt routines in Ardunio programming: Often when working on microcontroller projects you need a background function to run at regular intervals. This is often done by setting up a hardware timer to generate an interrupt. The interrupt triggers an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) to handle […]
Dave from uC Hobby writes: This is the third in a series of articles about generating sound with an Arduino. In this article we bit-bang our way through Jingle Bells. It’s almost Christmas so why not make a festive microcontroller project? Arduino Sound Part 3. Playing a Melody – Link Related: Making Arduino sing – […]
