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!
This at the “Saint Andrew’s strip” in Cholula. Felixe (Mexico) took his freshly baked TagTool to get some air in a reknowned bar where it livened up the party and inspired a healthy interactive night. All the equipment is on the table: DIY TagTool with Arduino inside, laptop to connect it to, Wacom to draw […]
CDM points out this very sweet beat manipulator interface by Luca De Rosso. The project, better known as OTTO, makes use of an Arduino board, MAX/MSP software, and an array of LEDs + switches to create a very intuitive and approachable experience for musicians. – OTTO is a new musical instrument for beat-slicing, the technique […]
The New Ecology of Things Lab at Art Center’s graduate Media Design Program has released a new version of their NETLab Toolkit. This is a system for more easily connecting microcontrollers to computers, especially targeted at those who may be new to hardware and programming. In this video, Professor Philip van Allen of the Media […]
Bridging the gap between the “real world” and your computer, the Arduino Projects Pack takes you further into the world of physical computing. We’ve included all sorts of cool electronic parts this time that help you delve deeper into the true capacity of the Arduino. You’ll experience what the tens of thousands of engineers, designers, […]
Morgellon posted steps on publishing Arduino sensor readings to the web via Pachube – I recently discovered Pachube and have just fell in love with it. This is a video of my first Pachube project and what I’ve been able to do. I connected two light sensors to an Arduino. One sensor measure light levels […]
Not since industrial noisemakers like Einsturzende Neubauten first miked a shopping cart… This is a decidedly more 21st version. The makers, Hogan Birney, Sean Kinberger, and David Plakon explain the design: Touch and pressure are used to control the live manipulation of sound and image. The cart is equipped with a video projector, computer and […]
The ScrewShield for Arduino is a “wing-format” shield that extends the Arduino pins to sturdy, secure, and dependable screw terminal blocks. The wing design allows you to extend just one or both sides (“analog” & “digital”) of the Arduino, and still access the jumpers, LEDs, and buttons on the Arduino. Thanks to its extra-long header […]
