Android G1 serial to Arduino Instructable
This instructable will show you how to connect your Arduino to your Android G1 mobile over serial. The project assumes you’ve rooted your G1 and are comfortable using a terminal.
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!
The DIY Chip – The Atlantic (January/February 2010)
MAKE pal and author William Gurstelle has an Arduino article in the Atlantic! The DIY Chip @ The Atlantic (January/February 2010)… HYSICAL COMPUTERS AS populist devices may be the most momentous tech trend of the past five years that practically no one has heard about. Typically a small circuit board housed in a customized case, […]
Alicia Gibb’s art history thesis on Arduino
Alicia Gibb, NYC Resistor member, hacker, crafter and maker, just finished her art history master’s thesis on Arduino. It’s called “New Media Art, Design, and the Arduino Microcontroller: A Malleable Tool,” and features a lot of familiar names and projects! Above photo by Anthony Mattox.
Arduino & BlinkM music visualizer
This music visualizer project combines two of my favorite things, Arduino’s & BlinkM’s, with another one of my favorite things, music! In the video above, all the BlinkM’s are mapped to display the same value, but they can be controlled individually with some code modifications. Check out the link for complete build instructions and the Arduino code.
Motorized quilt looks a bit restless …
From the MAKE Flickr pool Osamu Iwasaki used a Lilypad Arduino + servo motor to create the Kinetic Quilt – an unusually lively bedspread. Hmmm … didn’t this little guy make an appearance in one of the Harry Potter flicks? … or maybe Poltergeist?
The Nebulophone Arduino-based stylus synth
Yet still another sweet piece of kit debuted at Austin’s monthly Handmade Music event – the Nebulophone from Bleep Labs incorporates a digital synth running on Arduino compatible hardware with a stylophone-like PCB keyboard. Additional features include a light-controlled analog filter, LFO, and IR-synced arpeggiator – want want! Code + schematics can be found over […]
Morse code puzzle box
Lucas Fragomeni built a puzzle box that can only be opened if a specific morse code sequence is entered. His starting point was a Reverse Geocache Puzzle he’d read about on Hack a Day, where a person has to bring a box to specific coordinates to release the catch. I was amazed by it, so […]
