New 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 sound bytes to your next 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!
New in the Maker Shed: Hardcopy ATMega328 kit
The Hardcopy ATMega328 kit is designed to make a permanent version (or Hardcopy if you will) of your Arduino project once you have perfected it on a breadboard but without the expense of embedding your original project.
Solarbotics’ new 3-wire Sensor Shield
Hold the digital presses! We have a hot-off-the-fab entry for our All-Arduino Gift Guide. Our BFFs at Solarbotics have just announced a new Arduino shield, the SB-GVS Arduino Shield, a break-out board for interfacing 3-wire hardware (Signal/Voltage/Ground) to Arduino. The SB-GVS shield lets you easily interface this sort of device [servos and other 3-wire peripherals […]
Peek at Bre’s MakerBot watch
Bre has posted an item about the MakerBot watch he’s been working on. He’s selling some prototype kits really cheap ($30) to get them out there so others can give feedback, mess around with it, improve it, etc. He writes: I’ve wanted to have an Arduino style watch in my pocket and I got my […]
Snowduino?
From the MAKE Flickr pool Jan decided to decorate more than the tree this holiday season – I happened to use white spraypaint for another project when i thought i could make my arduino look like christmas. Still works flawlessly of course. If you wanna do the same, i advise you not to use woodglue […]

We’ve got a lot to cover here, so let’s get started, first with the basics – (Read on for the […]
Arduino Skeleton – Look Mom, no PCB!
MAKE subscriber Kakehi spotted this unusual Arduino incarnation at a recent Make: Tokyo meeting – Kimio Kosaka’s Arduino skeleton, made from nothing but components, steel wire, solder, and loving care. The board design is based off of the Metaboard Arduino-(mostly)compatible, which implements USB compatibility in the chip’s firmware. Hmmm … insulated standoffs anyone? Maybe a […]
