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!
My friend Randy at the fffffatlab made this breathalyzer microphone: The breathalyzer microphone is a system for the inconscpicuous collection of blood-alcohol content level data sets. In other words, you can measure a person’s sobriety with a device, that for all intents and purposes, looks no different than a standard microphone. He has also created […]
At ladyada’s tea party, user mtbf0 has posted details of his RGB brain machine powered by a Boarduino. …it generates a base frequency at 200Hz. Offset frequencies of 201Hz-217Hz in 1Hz increments can be selected giving binaural beats in the range of 1Hz-17Hz. The LEDs are controlled by comparing the phases of the base and […]
Owen of Critter and Guitari shares tips on building a keyboard/case for the Arduino Pocket Piano synthesizer shield. Using the described button-dowel approach allows one to raise the key inputs without any soldering or expensive panel mount replacement parts – good stuff. – Felt Button Enclosure for the Pocket Piano Arduino Pocket Piano Synth Kit
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 […]
