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 MAKE subscriber Marcus created a neato embroidered badge for Arduiniacs out there. These stylin’ little symbols of skill are available from Little Bird Electronics – no prior Arduino proficiency testing required. Hey, I think this merit badge thing might be catching on eh? It would seem a bit of a […]
Want to make your own Tweet-a-Watt or Botanicall that posts data to a Twitter account for you to follow? In this class, we’ll play with the Arduino Ethernet Shield and look at how to connect to remote servers. We’ll build a simple project that will take button press data and post it to a Twitter […]
This light-seeking Arduino mothbot builds on the SERB code, and the Instructable is very thorough. Beginning Arduino bot builders, rejoice and build! More: Review: SERB Robot kit Adding bump sensors to your SERB SERB robot with Wii Nunchuck control
Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories has a stellar article introducing you to serial communication with AVR microcontrollers. If you have a basic knowledge or Arduino and want to take it further, this is for you.
This is a really inexpensive way to program your Arduino. In fact, it’s a really cheap way to program any ATmega8 chip. However, there are a few drawbacks. It only works with Windows, and you can’t communicate back to the host computer for serial communications. Despite some of the drawbacks, I still like this solution […]
From the Arduino.cc forums, Bill writes – This is still a prototype but it’s functionally complete and works very well. It’s messy because I hacked up a generalized arduino proto-shield to mount it but there’s really not a lot to the hardware and now that it’s working I can refine it to something much smaller […]
Guillermo Iao sent us a link to this project where he recycled a hard drive case into a bottom and a top for an Arduino-based DAC (digital analog converter) used as a preamp. Reusing Hard Disk Parts for the Case
