In my previous post, I presented some background on the green building where the SPARK Project #1 is being installed, and I discussed the basic signals that need to be measured for the project. In order to create inputs into my smart home dashboard, I need to measure temperature and humidity, both indoors and out, […]
Much like the Arduino Starter Kit before it — but better! Bridging the gap between the “real world” and your computer, the Advanced Arduino Starter Kit from the Maker Shed takes you further into the world of physical computing. We’ve included all sorts of cool electronic parts this time, along with our best selling Making […]
Bridging the gap between the “real world” and your computer, the Getting Started with Arduino kit from the Maker Shed is your starting point into the world of physical computing. Using the electronic parts included, along with our best selling Getting Started with Arduino book by Massimo Banzi, the co-founder of Arduino, you’ll be ready […]
Instructables user agent036 made this simple acoustic replica of a Vulcan lyre from Star Trek and broke down the steps to show you how, too.
Instructables user pstretz made this Arduino-based simple soft tone generator for another user (carmitsu) who wrote: I teach music in elementary school. We play a lot of recorder music. i.e. the kids play little flutes…… I have several special needs kids who can are using these black poster boards with circles that have the name […]

I’m absolutely shocked that it hasn’t had a larger presence on Instructables and in the community…well, until now of course. Some speaker projects can be complete in a weekend, […]
Liam sent me another cool project that uses the Make Controller. This time it’s a PCB etching agitator. This looks like a great way to make PCB etching a bit easier and safer. You could make this project with just a simple 555 circuit, but with the Make Controller you could add a lot more […]
