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!
As part of our Make: Arduino page, Riley Porter has posted a project that shows you how easy it is hook up a 7-segment LED display to your Arduino projects. This is the first, simplest method he explores. In a future project, he’ll show you more elegant solutions that don’t hog so many I/O pins. […]
We were delighted with the massive response we got to our Getting Started with Arduino book giveaway. So much so that we decided to up the ante. This week we’re giving away the awesome Getting Started with Arduino Kit V2 from Maker Shed. This kit includes the Getting Started with Arduino book, an Arduino Uno […]
As part of our Make: Arduino project, Riley Porter shows you how easy it is to replace a blown Atmel chip (the microcontroller heart of the Arduino) and to flash the Arduino software onto the new chip. For a few bucks and about 15 minutes of work, you can have your Arduino board back in […]
So cool: The Computerless Arduino consists of two major components; an Arduino-compatible microcontroller loaded with a realtime code interpreter, and a stand-alone 5-button LCD display to display port values and manipulate code. The display can be connected to the Arduino via a 4-pin port at any time to peek at In/Out values, view the current […]
Clever idea from Instructables user mizliz, who outfitted her LilyPad Arduino with a set of snap-on contacts so it can be quickly transferred from one soft-circuit prototype to another.
Which is something that I’ve been wanting for years, and not because I harbor any kind of weird anti-Simon resentment. I just think it would make bag workouts way more interesting. The project has an Arduino for brains, and has been pretty well-documented by its creator Lior Elazary. Next: Spice it up a bit, add more striking zones, different color LEDs, maybe some screaming, groaning, grunting, and/or Steven-Seagal-style bone-breaking sound FX. Nice work, Lior!

This is a project in development for the module “Digital Ecologies”, at the Bartlett’s AAC Msc. A Delta-Robot is controlled by a Kinect through Processing and Arduino. The movements of the performer control directly the position of the robot’s effector, and the rotation and opening of the gripper. Once the plattform is properly calibrated (still […]
