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!
From Make: Japan: Beatfly is a small illuminating blimp for entertainment. Its light and movement can be controlled via various interfaces such as MIDI controller, iPhone multi-touch interface, Flash interface on a web site, computer keyboard, mobile phones and voice, and music. It flies, filling the space with colorful light, producing diverse styles of performance […]
This Instructable shows you how to build an Arduino-based alarm clock inside of a Illy coffee tin. The electronics are based on Wiseduino (Arduino clone with DS1307 real time clock on board), with a LED matrix shield sitting on top. The shield is built with 74HC595 shift registers that drive two bi-color (red, green, and […]
The LoL Shield is a charlieplexed LED matrix for the Arduino. You can use it to display anything in a 9×14 grid. Scroll text, play games, display images, or anything else you want to do. Please note, this is a shield and requires an Arduino for control. Comes with library and example code to get you started programming Lots of LEDs right away!

Thanks to everyone who came out to yesterday’s First Steps With Arduino Webcast! The video is now available on O’Reilly Media’s YouTube Channel: O’Reilly Webcast: First Steps with Arduino.
The goal of this project is to create a simple interupt driven library for generating composite video on a single AVR chip. Currently the output is NTSC or PAL at a resolution of 128×96 by default. The library currently works on ATmega168,328,1280,644p Interested? Download the code.
The person behind wtfmoogle apparently had problems with their web server, and decided to replace it with an Arduino until a new server can be secured.
