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!
The MakerShield kit is the ultimate open source prototyping shield for Arduino and Netduino microcontrollers. Having a prototyping shield is a must have accessory for anyone wanting to go beyond blinking an LED with their microcontroller. If you want to do more, you will need to build a circuit, and if you want to build […]
If you’re an aspiring Alex Trebek with some Arduino skills, you should check out RoysterBot’s Instructable on how to make a Quiz-O-Tron 3000, an electronic quiz contestant lockout system, which allows contestants to “buzz in” during trivia games. He used it at a holiday party and therefore needed something sturdy enough to withstand the hand […]
To coincide with the imminent release of MAKE Volume 25, the Arduino issue, we’re launching an Ardunio site here on MAKE. Over the years, we’ve amassed tons of Arduino content here, offered dozens of Arduino projects in the magazine (and now on Make: Projects), and stocked plenty of Arduino awesomeness in the Maker Shed. But […]
The Tweetagraph uses an Arduino to capture the dots and dashes created by the telegraph. The Ardruino itself is running Firmata (now comes as a built in library with the arduino software) so that it can talk to Processing. The Processing sketch is using the java library twitter4j which handles the communication with the Twitter API.
Just though you guys might like to see my latest Arduino project – animatronics for costuming! I show how to make a nifty little Arduino servo driver board based on the Arduino Pro Mini and there’s several code examples to get people started. I expect to see some cool Predator costumes next Halloween.
We love it when our customers share their projects! This example by Todd Moore uses an Arduino and a LoL Shield to make a simulated rain pattern on the display. Not bad for a first Arduino project! Thanks for sharing Todd. Building and coding the Arduino Lol Shield has been a lot of fun. My […]
A handy resource provided by George Graves over on the adafruit forums, based on an idea by Tod E. Kurt.
