This NFC Shield for Arduino (available in the Maker Shed) is a great way to experiment with NFC. What’s NFC you ask? It’s an extension of RFID with a purposefully decreased range, making it great for projects where security is a consideration.
It’s hard to find a good, reliable GPS module, which is why haven’t carried one. But when when we tested the Adafruit Ultimate GPS, we knew it was worthy enough to be in the Maker Shed!
The Sun Logger is a data logging device that records changes in light-brightness over time. This project will introduce you to the art of making your own Arduino shield, and record data to a SD card that can later be graphed and represented visually.

Alasdair Allan, author of iOS Sensor Apps with Arduino, is presenting an iOS Sensors and External Hardware Masterclass in London in October: This one day course will guide you through developing location aware applications for the iOS platforms that make use of the onboard sensors: the 3-axis accelerometer, the magnetometer, the gyroscope, the camera and […]
Bunnie Huang recently toured the Arduino production facilities and wrote a great post about what he saw (with lots of photos!): Arduinos are made in Scarmagno, Italy, a small town near the Olivetti factories on the outskirts of Torino. All of the circuit board fabrication, board stuffing and distribution is handled out of that small […]
Using a variety of low- and high-tech components, we’ll show you how to build A Touchless 3D Tracking Interface.
