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!
Stacey Kuznetzov made these fun robots that can traverse vertical metallic surfaces. Each bot is programmed with a unique personality and has embedded light sensors to perform some basic human interactions. She has an Instructable that explains how to make them. If you don’t have a metallic surface to infest with robots, you might want […]
Etharooni designed this wonderful intervalometer to help him take awesome photos with his camera. He writes: Entry-level Nikon DSLRs don’t have many built in features that the higher-end cameras do, like an interval timer, for instance. It’s an exceedingly useful feature. If you want to take star trails, time lapse, repetitive self-timer shooting, or whatever, […]
Anonymous reader points out this squeezebox gone digital, incorporating a 16-button monome pad – the Concertinome is a custom made instrument combining the concertina accordion with the monome style keyboard and electronic air pressure sensors. It was made by Espen Sommer Eide 2009 and demonstrated in this concert at Visningsrommet USF, Bergen, Norway. Seems like […]

Aquariums can be a lot of work, especially the saltwater variety. Why not have an Arduino handle some of the routine tasks like temperature monitoring, pH, and water levels? I had an aquarium for many years, and I would have really appreciated a little Arduino automation. More about the Arduino aquarium controller In the Maker […]
Here’s a great example of what makes the Arduino platform so great. In need of a basic frequency counter on the quick, I dug up some code & schematics based on the ATTiny2313. But just before breaking out my programmer + protoboard, I thought to have a look Arduino.cc in case someone had written similar […]
Soon to be deployed as part of the Atmospheric Neutral Density Experiment test program, the Pollux satellite carries student-designed payloads built with Arduino – Westfield High School accelerometer payload: This payload uses the Atmega16 microcontroller and measures the voltage of three SCA610 accelerometers made by VTI Technologies. The accelerometers will be used to detect rotation […]
