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!
This project called “Flying planter (Fledge)”, uses an Arduino Lilypad controller to tilt a disc to rotate towards wherever it sees sunlight. This would ideally help to save your indoor houseplants from their imminent demise throughout a normal day. [via]
This homebrew Boarduino POV device is even more low-tech than some similar ones we have posted about on this blog before. Check out the simple construction details at the link below. Arduino POV Prototype
This is an interesting project that uses an Arduino to interpret the 8bit value generated from the controller and adds a “fatigue value” to the output signal. Basically, the longer you play, the slower your character will move. So, this is my analog version of a playful Playstation 2 controller for the PSX project — […]
Using Processing, Midi Yoke, Ableton Live and 3D Studio Max Motion Capture Controller, I was able to transmit movement from the WiiChuck to 3D Studio Max via MIDI. Arduino to 3D Studio Max
“Three Pieces” form the Found Electronics Collective collects soil moisture and ambient tempurature readings to alter the robo-acoustic performance of a preprogrammed composition – Rather than use computers and a PA, we decided to try and build something completely acoustic. In the end, we’ve got a traditional Chinese dulcimer and 12 chimes spread throughout the […]
This pleasant musical interlude incorporates some familiar hardware (Arduino microcontroller board + servo motors) – but the software used to author the demonstration is likely new to many. The RAD, or Ruby Arduino Development, project is offering a new approach to writing Arduino code based on the easy-to-read, open source Ruby programming language. Check out […]
Johan writes in – Imagine this: A 30 something bearded man in shorts with a multi-meter connected to cables out of an exercise bike trying to remain balanced an read the multi-meter at the same time as he is turning the pedals with one foot and listening to a beep from the multi-meter. My wife […]
