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!
From the MAKE Flickr pool Augustson designed etched and assembled a specialized Arduino board for a new robotics project – What is ADM 1.0? Basically we built an Arduino, added a Dual Motor Controller to it and a small prototyping area. Hence the name ADM (Arduino Dual Motor). The board works and is programmed just […]
Really sweet Mario costume with classic built-in sound-effects from Adafruit forum member djmacatack. It uses an Arduino with an Adafruit WaveShield. [Thanks, Becky!]
The music is from a car stereo, and the lights are multiplexed by an Arduino. Check out the link for more information, and the Arduino source code.
Guilherme Martins built this “talkie walkie” in response to a challenge to build a robot using only one servo. It responds to sound in real time, automatically controlling the movements of a lip-syncing paper mouth. [via Hack a Day]
Samuel Seide brings us this animatronic talking skull Instructable. It’s motion-activated and uses a Waveshield kit for sound. [Thanks, Sam!]
Judy Castro and Michael Shiloh run a series of classes called “Teach Me to Make” on a variety of subject such as electronics and arduino, mechanical sculpture, and electromechanics.
Rock Band has been released on the iPhone, and even though its a lot of fun, I would rather have something play it for me. Preferably a robot!
