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 the MAKE Flickr pool The Arduino-based synth project formerly known as binder synth is now known as Adasynth – and it sounds like development is coming along right nicely. Davitr0n provides some background on his project – The goal of this project was to make a patchable synthesizer as versatile as we can while […]
It has LED health and mana bars, LED magic power in the gloves, and an LED, er, “touch-sensitive fairy companion.” There’s one Arduino for the gloves and status bars, and another for the companion.
Every other week, MAKE’s awesome interns tell about the projects they’re building in the Make: Labs, the trouble they’ve gotten into, and what they’ll make next. By Kris Magri, engineering intern How I designed Makey, Part II: Creating the “stretchy” robot body in Inventor When designing Makey the Robot for MAKE, Volume 19, I ran […]
Designed for use with the Pocket Piano shield for Arduino, Marc Nostromo’s Squealer synthesis engine– The engine implements a small monosynth with a few waveforms, a HP/BP/LP continuous resonant filter, decay and a few little own tricks that  generate a LOT of aliases, making a great dirty digital synth. Since the Pocket Piano has only […]
MAKE subscriber Justin Shaw has posted a project on Instructables for a bike brake lighting system that features lights on the ends of a bicycle’s handlebars, controlled by an Arduino and a Pololu 3-axis accelerometer. He’s even offering a $35 prize to the first person who follows his plans and posts proof of a successful […]
From the MAKE Flickr pool Augustson designed etched and assembled a specialized Arduino board for a new robotics project – What is ADM 1.0? Basically we built an Arduino, added a Dual Motor Controller to it and a small prototyping area. Hence the name ADM (Arduino Dual Motor). The board works and is programmed just […]
Really sweet Mario costume with classic built-in sound-effects from Adafruit forum member djmacatack. It uses an Arduino with an Adafruit WaveShield. [Thanks, Becky!]
