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!
This is an upgrade to Mitch’s brain machine that requires moving the low pass filters from LED positions 3 and 4 to positions 4 and 5. New firmware provides superior audio and improved syncing of the LEDs with the binaural beats, as well as allowing software control of LED brightness. With an upgrade to the power supply, RGB LEDs are also supported. The firmware will also compile for an ATMegaX8 and will run on an Arduino.
Packed with infrared and ultrasonic sensors, the ArduIMU Quadcopter from maker Jose Julio can hover in place and avoid objects.
Matthew from Tampa, FL, wrote in to share this interactive wall project. Three architecture grad students at the University of South Florida created an interactive wall they call flex. The wall reacts with light and motion as people walk by it creating a unique experience. The wall is powered by 3 Arduinos, 5 Maxbotix LV-EZ3 […]
Our project is an open source, Arduino Mega-based computer interface and max/msp– based MIDI sequencer. You can find all kinds of information about it at beatseqr.com, but the ten-second pitch goes like this: Drum machines are fun to use because the interface is intuitive, but they only make the sounds they know how to make. […]
New York-based BREAKFAST fitted a BlimpDuino with on-board video and wireless control system and took it out for a spin at a party to interact with the crowd. Everybody’s favorite controller du jour, an iPad, was employed to orient the dirigible and act as a augmented display medium.
Here’s a quick test video of the Arduino Nerf sentry gun in action. I didn’t have ammo in the first few belt casings, so I avoided getting shot. This time.
This is the prototype of MintyBot, an Arduino robotics platform I’ve been working on. I’ll be doing show-and-tell in the Maker Shed Arduino area at this Saturday, May 22 and Sunday, May 23.
