Lego TARDIS
Spotted in the MAKE Flickr pool, photo and build by user JustJon. It uses an Arduino + adafruit Wave Shield to play the Doctor Who theme and flash the siren light. There’s more info, plus video, at JustJon’s personal site.
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!
Trashcan accelerometer
Bill R. wrote in to share his trashcan accelerometer that uses an Adruino, an Adafruit datalogging sheild, and a triple-axis accelerometer. The city that I live in provides weekly trash collection services. Customers typically have a 96 gallon trashcan which is left out by the curb early in the morning on a scheduled day. Sometime […]
Outbound calling with Arduino + Asterisk
Dan Wagoner is playing around with connecting an Arduino to his Asterisk system. I’ve been able to get Asterisk grab info about sensors connected to an ethernet-enabled Arduino, but how about the other way around? What if you could allow your Arduino to make outbound calls through your Asterisk system to make a make-shift alarm […]
Arduino GPS system
Sean Carney built this arduino gps system, which he was able to take out into the field for some geocaching.
Equinox Clock by Bram Knaapen
Bram used an Arduino, 12 LED drivers, and 60 RGB LEDs to create his latest project, the Equinox Clock.
Arduino-driven ‘spiral wall’
This project is called “Spiral Wall” which used Processing to control Arduino board. Pressing the keyboard(or mouse) to control the servo to rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise. You can see how the silk-line rotate and make the diversity of the patterns. In the Maker Shed: Getting Started with Processing Learn computer programming the easy way with […]
