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!
Michael Krumpus, a Hack Factory member who created the Hackvision gaming system, has come out with two fantastic new Arduino shield kits that he’s selling from his own store: The Video Experimenter shield is an Arduino shield that lets you do all kinds of experiments with video. * Overlay text and graphics onto a video […]
Paul Strohmeier built this beautiful animated origami bird flock system using a flexible stretch sensor, an Arduino, and some servos.
SAMSA is based on the Wiring board, with an ATmega128 microcontroller, and SAMSA II on the Arduino Mega, with an ATmega1280. Both are pretty similar, tough the ATmega1280 has 8 KB SRAM, twice the ATmega128. For SAMSA II the Arduino IDE was not used. The software was written directly in C++, using some libraries from […]
Alvin Yap of London figured out how to control a robotic claw using 3D animation software Houdini, Python and an Arduino. Python Serial module used for communications over the usb serial port. HOM (Houdini Object Module), which is Houdini’s Python API interface, is used to get updates from the robotic claw digital asset. This data […]
This Codebox shows you how to create your own color filters using matrix multiplication.
