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!
Instructables user mrigsby writes: The Flock Clock uses male and female drinking birds to display time. Binary addition of the female birds (left to right) yields the hour. Binary addition of the male birds (multiplied by five) yields the minute–within five minutes. An Arduino processor provides the signals needed to drive Peltier cells which heat […]
Drew Crawford made this excellent-sounding piezo speaker sound library for the Arduino. A demonstration of the library in action starts at 3 minutes into the above video, and the library can be downloaded from his code repository.
Adam Wolf, hardware hacker and member of Twin Cities Maker, has created an Arduino-based viewer for Mandelbrot sets. Adam’s website provides full schematics and code for the project.
