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!
This is a really interesting Arduino project that involves manipulating stereo sound so it appears to move in a virtual 3-dimensional space. There is a lot of interesting information in the forum and the code can be found here. The effect is so sharp, you can tell the difference between center, ten degrees left of […]
This video shows an 8 by 8 dual color LED Matrix controlled by an Arduino and Boarduino that is bright enough to project the patterns on the ceiling of a space. Lots of details on this simple build including a parts list at the link below. LED Matrix Projector
This is an interesting video I found on YouTube. I really like the integration of a touch-screen and the Arduino. I just wish there was more information about this project. I don’t think this would be too difficult to reproduce in Processing? Specs: 8″ touchscreen LCD from ebay My super DELL computer ^^ Visual basic […]
Bit-music loving Arduino users – I ported (and modded a bit) one of the Noise Toy programs over to the lovely and talented Arduino platform. Just add a couple of momentary switches to pins 8 and 9 and connect stereo audio to 3 and 4 – you’re done. Loud Objects’ code proved quite fun to […]
Like many of us, Justin doessn’t have time to cook up a real breakfast before heading out in the morning. So he put Chef Arduino to work automating the process using a relay interface and a few other components – So I hooked up a coffee maker, and two electric stove surfaces to the RelaySquid. […]
This is a really interesting project that uses an Arduino to control 3 teakettles via a servo attached to the handles. I wonder if they would get along with the Cylon Coffee Pot? My tea kettles were developed as my final piece for Mechatronics 470, Summer Quarter 2008.My goal was to create a completely absurd […]
Sparkfun now sells a variation of the Arduino called the “Arduino Pro”. Check out the specifications to see if it’s the right board for your next project. If you are new to micro-controllers, I would start with an Arduino Diecimila since the Pro needs a few thing to get it connected. The Arduino Pro is […]
