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!
Michael Dory, Adam Simon, and Scott Varland of Socialbomb presented a tutorial on Arduino hacking at last month’s O’Reilly Open Source Convention: Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. In this tutorial, participants […]
Bricogeek’s “Ardugame” is and Arduino based handheld gameboy-look-alike that looks like a lot of fun. The machine’s equipped with an OLED display, speaker, accelerometer, and even a DB9 port for multiplayer expansion. – Ardugame [google translation]
An interesting sort of update to the classic player piano design – The sequencer plays the notes as a arpeggiator, i chose for this playback method because i dont have a midi device that can play 24 keys at the same time.. There are 2 different arpeggio modes. One rearranges the playback sequence to the […]
Kyle writes – A friend of mine wanted a bitcrusher/samplerate reducer pedal for his guitar — I thought “you could probably do that with an Arduino”. The quality turned out surprisingly reasonable. I’ve released the code, which sets up the pins on an Arduino for doing 10-bit DSP at reasonable sample rates The design includes […]
This project details the installation of an Arduino and Xbee based wireless sensor network to harness agricultural intelligence in order to build a capable decision support system for farmers to optimise natural resources and maximize production while minimizing environmental damage. Visualizations of the data being collected are seen on local laptops for eventual distribution over […]
This really does give a whole new meaning to “drive-by shooting”. If only all drive-by’s involved SuperSoakers and Arduino’s. This is a collaborative piece between our own Jonah Brucker-Cohen, Katherine Moriwaki, and Basurama. You can check out the SuperSoaker Car Organ August 8, 2008 at RUS (Urban Solid Waste) exhibition, Miami, Florida, USA. The “SuperSoaker […]
This article starts out with basic LED arrays and controlling them with an Arduino. Then it gets into the more complex stuff, like controlling the array with a computer. Finally, he explains how to use a web-cam and Processing to convert the video signal into an 8X8 LED matrix. All the source code and schematics […]
