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!
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 – […]
Here’s how to control an Arduino remotely over the internet via HTML forms and/or CGI URL encoding… Link.
Paul Badger, the maker of the Bare Bones Board (an Arduino-compatible board you can build yourself) is presenting at this month’s Providence Geek Dinner. At Maker Faire Austin, Paul gave a couple of talks on the BBB and helped some folks assemble theirs at the Maker Store. Paul Badger teaches physical computing and electronic media […]
uC Hobby has posted the second installment of their Arduino sound articles. This is the second in a series of articles about generating sound with an Arduino. The first article covered the various methods available for sound generation with an Arduino. In this article we take a small step; “Hello World” for Arduino sound. We […]
On uC Hobby, they’re beginning a series on bringing sound to Arduino: This is the first in a series of articles about generating sound with an Arduino. The goals are to generate good quality sound which can be used to play simple tones, stored music, sampled sound, and even act as a MIDI synthesizer. I […]
Today is POV day it seems… Oscar writes – Here is a cool project from Spain featuring an Arduino POV and some 433Mhz Wireless modules. This project includes an IR sensor to auto-calibrate the display timing on each complete loop. This allows for very accurate precision and stability when drawing on the air! This Arduino […]
