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!
That right there is a dang impressive video demonstration using an Arduino + TouchShield accessory. Shame cathedrow didn’t post any code as of yet. [via Liquidware Antipasto] Arduino Diecimila Last day for the Back-to-school-10%-off-everything-what-are-we-totally-loco? super sale in the Maker Shed!
So you like to race, but you don’t trust the person in charge of timing? If so, this should be next on your “things to build” list. It’s a digital timer made out of an Arduino, some 595 shift registers, and a few 7-segment displays. Not too bad for the makers first Arduino project! The […]
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool If you should accidentally disable the reset pin while programming an AVR chip, you’ll lose the ability to rewrite to it using common ISP programming devices. To make the chip writable once again, you’ll need a ‘high voltage programmer’ that runs off of 12V. With an Arduino and some […]
Steve Cooley sent in his Arduino Project Box. It has tons-o-prototyping goodness. Check out the link for a lot more information, pictures, and even a video of this cool project. [Thanks Steve] An arduino based prototyping tool and performance interface. Here’s the overall philosophy: A permanently attached set of digital and analog inputs and outputs […]
The “I2C LCD Interface” lets you connect up an LCD display to a microcontroller (in this case they are using a FreeDuino controller) with only two wires. Check out the link below for the details on this setup in order to get your project displaying text in no time. I2C / SPI LCD Interface via […]
There isn’t a whole lot of information on this project, but the video is really interesting. Hopefully, there will be more about the build in the near future. A little more about the TV Remote to X10 via Arduino Update: BroHogan added more info on YouTube More: X10 Home Automation with Arduino
Version 12 of the Arduino software IDE was released today along with a pretty lengthy list of updated features – Added Arduino Nano to the boards menu. Arduino Pro or Pro Mini (8 MHz) to the boards menu. Added Firmata library by Hans Steiner and others. This provides a standard protocol for communicating with software […]
