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!
Lucas Fragomeni built a puzzle box that can only be opened if a specific morse code sequence is entered. His starting point was a Reverse Geocache Puzzle he’d read about on Hack a Day, where a person has to bring a box to specific coordinates to release the catch. I was amazed by it, so […]
It’s beyond me why anyone would want to start a car before they got into it, but if you’re looking for an interesting aftermarket mod for the next car show, this prepaid wireless controlled remote car starter is just the thing.
George wrote up an Arduino sketch that can detect and program other Arduinos connected through serial. He demonstrates the functionality above by writing a sort of serial-synchronized version of the well-known “Blink” sketch – It is an implementation of the STK500 protocol within an Arduino sketch. STK500 is used by avrdude and the Arduino IDE […]
A kind of digital update to the mysterious Aeolian harp instrument, the Winduino is played by the wind itself – The Winduino II is a wireless, digital version of an Aeolian harp that can be listened to on its own or used as accompaniment for other instruments. Still based around the Adruino BT Bluetooth board, […]
Check out the launch of the 3rd annual Libelium Arduino contest! For the third consecutive year, Libelium organizes the Arduino Open Hardware Contest in order to award the best ideas and projects made with Arduino. After the previous editions, this year we have decided to create just one category: “Amazing Arduino”. We are looking for […]
The Transistor is a community of tinkerers, gamers, programmers, and general DIYers, based in Provo, UT. They have a new space they wanted us to tell you about, as well as free, weekly Arduino/Electronics Nights. The Transistor
Dan Thompson has released his Servo Tools Python plug-in for Maya. This is really exciting for me as a Maya user, because I can now rig and animate an object in software and drive a real-world servo plugged into an Arduino. Thanks Dan, I can’t wait to try it!
