Canafote, Arduino Network Infrastructure
Over on the Arduino blog, David Cuartielles found this excellent open-source sensor project, the Canafonte Network Project.
Arduino
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!
RFID speakers change their tune as they are moved
This is a Journey into Sound is the work of three Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design students during a class taught by Arduino co-creator Massimo Banzi. Using a combination of RFID technology, Processing and Arduino, the speakers work as location aware controllers, allowing the user to interact with music and the environment by moving the […]
Arduino cheat sheet
Gavin of Syndey, Australia, wrote in to share his Arduino Cheat Sheet: Description: I really love cheat sheets. In a lot of cases they can take the place of an entire manual. So I was surprised, given its popularity that I couldn’t find a single-page reference for the arduino online. I tried to make a […]
In the Maker Shed: Voice Shield kit
The Voice Shield is an analog audio shield for the Arduino. It allows you to easily add audio to your next project. The Voice Shield uses a unique and very user friendly way to access different sound bytes making it easy to build “talking” devices. It can work with words, complete sentences, or use it to add sound effects.
This is the shield John Park used in his audio sampler + joystick build video.
RakuChord Mobile like a pocket electric accordian
Over at MAKE: Japan, Takumi Funada found this fun-looking open source hardware instrument called RakuChord Mobile.
Cuckoo clock shows the tweets
Tweet Haroon Baig’s Twitwee Clock and it will deploy the cuckoo and show the tweet on a small LCD. The project appears to use a combination of an Arduino and Chumby guts to do its thing. The Twitwee Clock is a modified Cuckoo Clock that wirelessly connects to the internet and constantly checks for new […]
John Park in the Maker Shed: VoiceShield + Joystick + Arduino
Would you like to play a game? I put together a VoiceShield, plonked it on an Arduino, recorded and manipulated my voice in Garage Band, uploaded the sound bytes to the VoiceShield, and wrote an Arduino sketch to control samples and delays from a 2-axis joystick.
