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!
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 […]
This is just the beginning of a more complex Arduino powered noisemaker. Apparently the next version will also include midi controls. I really want to see this project developed further, especially the midi integration. Read more about the Arduino Noise Maker
Arduino polishes up its navigation skills via an inexpensive compass sensore component – A small digital compass based on hall effect is connected to an Arduino 10000 board. The logic in the board turns on and off leds depending on direction. There are 4 leds, one for each in N,S,W,E. When two leds are ON […]
Todbot makes an interesting suggestion Analog meters are hard to use in hardened environments. If you’re showing data from digital sources, why not use a digitally-controlled analog meter? laser cut acrylic meter face & needle, tiny 25mmx12mm $3 servo, and arduino. – Servos as meters on Flickr MotorShield for Arduino Kit
The “Arduinome” is yet another Monome clone built with the Arduino controller. Check out the video for details on how this kit works. arduinome, via CreateDigitalMusic
