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!
Wish there were an easier way attach an Arduino to a breadboard? The Boarduino, from the Maker Shed, makes it easy! The low cost and small size makes it perfect for embedding into your projects. Full Arduino compatibility lets you use the latest IDE and code.
I was cleaning out the garage (it’s a disaster!) and in the mess inspiration struck. It’s Summer and I have two little girls. This is my Bubble Bot. Size of bubbles is controlled by timing of servo. Parts List: (1) RBBB (Arduino clone) from Modern Device, (1) Cheap Servo, (mix) Erector set parts for mechanism, […]
Quad Cities Co-Lab used GE Color Effects Christmas lights and an Arduino to build their matrix. Also check out this build video.
I love it when embroidery floss and electronics mix, and artist Tomofumi Yoshida added another one of my favorite things to this piece: the Tokyo transit map! The little map is stitched on an Arduino Mega shield.
The makers of the Video Experimenter Shield for Arduino have used their product to create an instantly updating word cloud from over-the-air television closed captioning data. The NTSC video is passed through the shield and the Arduino sends the closed captioning text to the computer via serial. The cloud is generated by a Processing sketch, which makes words larger if they’re spoken more frequently.
Check out this faithful reproduction of the Android logo made from an old trash can. The arms are articulated, the eyes are LEDs, and it runs on USB rechargeable batteries.
Tiburcio and his daughter Helena have an interesting tool for learning when an online purchase has been made from their web store — an Arduino-controlled Wario toy. Tiburcio explains: I wanted something nice to have at the office that tell us every time someone make a purchase on our game. Every time we make a […]
