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 Temporary Music Machine is just as its name implies. It’s meant to be used for only a limited amount of performances, and then the parts are reused for another project. The machine works by using two binary counters controlled by the performer. These counters are then mapped to chord structures and drum sequences. The […]
This is an interesting musical interface called the PianoDuino. It uses the SoundCipher library for Processing and an Arduino to create interactive sound. Check out the web site for a little more information, and all the code needed to build your own. PianoDuino is a simple experiment that integrates Arduino, Processing and a library to […]
What do you do if your kids are always leaving the refrigerator door open? Make a scrolling Arduino powered sign of course! It may be a bit overkill, but it’s hard to miss the large format LED matrix scrolling in front of you. Next step, shock audio alert! We have 5 kids in our household, […]
Like some piece of gaming tech from an alternate timeline – an anonymous reader points out this vid of a touch-screen NDS GBA made possible via the power of Arduino.
Matt Mets writes: After bemoaning the lack of a 64-bit version of the last few Arduino releases, and the subsequent hoops that had to be followed to make the 32-bit version work in Ubuntu, I finally decided to get off of my laurels and just build the thing. You can get the package here, or […]
My friend Thomas Edwards has added another component to his Phy2Phy project series, his mission to link one physical locale to another over the Internet. His first component was Touch-over-IP. His latest creation is Breath-over-IP. To communicate breath over the net, he used an Arduino, a SparkFun Protoshield, an AdaFruit Xport shield, and a Lantronix […]
From the MAKE Flickr pool Flickr member drug123’s MEGA-ISP shield turns an Arduino into an In-System Programmer for AVR Chips – Prepared schematics and board layout of this Arduino shield during one-hour-long phone call. Spent another hour to create “physical interpretation”. Purpose of this PCB is providing ISP header to turn Arduino in full-functional programmer […]
