Collin’s Lab: USB Hacking with Arduino
Collin does a little hacking to get his USB-based MIDI keyboard to talk to his Arduino.
Arduino
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!
In the Maker Shed: Arduino Nano 3.0
The Arduino Nano 3.0 is a surface mount breadboard compatible version of the ever-popular Arduino micro controller. It’s small, has integrated USB, and is breadboard friendly. It has more or less the same functionality of the Arduino Duemilanove, but in a different package. Physically, it’s missing the power jack, but it can still sense and […]
