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!
Meredith writes in: BarCamp Boston happens this weekend in Cambridge, MA, and to do our part DorkbotBoston member Keith Hopper of Hopper Analytics will be hosting a free workshop on how easy it is to get up and running with the Arduino. And since many of the Arduino lovers will be at BarCamp, we’ll be […]
An interesting piece from ITP’s spring show, the Crudbox records button presses as a sequence controlling onboard 5v ports – There are 4 speaker terminals on the box, into each of which you can plug any object that can run on 5 volts. In the video I’ve plugged in LEDs because it makes the interaction […]
Little Bird Electronics has a new wifi add-on for you Arduino elites out there – The Little Bird Brain, is an Arduino Shield which brings both Brains and Wifi to your project. Slot the Little Bird Brain Sheild into your Arduino and you will have the following capabilities: – Wireless 802.11b, 802.11g – Support for […]
Ladyada’s just churning out the new kits these days; I’m not sure she’s human. The latest: Adding quality audio to an electronic project is surprisingly difficult. Here is a shield for Arduinos that solves this problem. It can play up to 22KHz, 12bit uncompressed audio files of any length. It’s low cost, available as an […]
OK, this isn’t exactly a complicated robot. I really like the simplicity of the build. It would be very easy to change things around or add sensors, since the breadboard is right there on top and it has a lot of extra room. Read a little more information on Simple Arduino Robot Related: Another Arduino […]
Dino shares some details on his hacking methodology for an Ardueeno-toy-bot. This is a Rumble Robot I’m hacking and turning into an autonomous exploration robot with the Arduion as it’s central controller. This is stage one, getting the motors to drive it. Looks like fun! In the Maker Store: Arduino Diecimila
This could be a great starting point for a motion control system or a DIY simulator. The movement of the servos is very smooth, and they can all be controlled simultaneously and independently. The website has all the code needed for the build and a nice video of it in action. This tutorial will describe […]
