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!
Brian writes… The XO Laptop comes with the drivers you need to talk to an Arduino board, but you need to do a few things before you can run the Arduino environment. Once you get it running, though, it works just fine. The first step is to install Java. To install Java on the XO […]
Frank writes – I connected a Wii Nunchuck controller to an Arduino, which takes the data from the controller’s I2C data bus, decodes it, and send the data to the robot with a radio transmitter. Charlie uses a radio receiver to get the data, and it will control the drive servo system and the pan […]
Todbot posted up the class notes for “Bionic Arduino – Intro to microcontrollers with Arduino†he’s currently teaching at Machine Project, good stuff – Link.
Holiday light Arduino project from Brian @ Hackszine– I wanted to take control of the lights on my Christmas tree this year, so I read everything I could about interfacing an LED matrix. The idea was to have a setup where I could turn individual lights on and off, and run a little program that […]
Click To Play Tinkerlog writes – Christmas is coming closer, so here is my contribution to put you in the right mood. It is a blog hitcounter, that rings a bell. Literally. It puts a smile on your face, every time someone hits your blog. And it is a great way to annoy your colleages […]
David writes in – I put this site together really quickly to document a project I’ve been working on from time to time for a while now. This device plugs into a PC and streams my friends’ latest Twitter messages across its little LED screen. There are lots of skills that would probably be of […]
Wow, Jon-Paul made these amazing Arduino Sketchup models! He writes – 3D/2D models (.3ds, .dwg, .dxf and .skp) of the Arduino Diecimila Board created in sketchup and exported to other 3D formats. This is my site. I am a subscriber to both Make and Craft and hope that I can begin to give back to […]
