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!
[W]e are introducing further microcontroller alternatives into the Fritzing ecosystem. In the new release, due tomorrow, you will already get this sweet array of choices. Besides the Arduino and its variants Mega and Nano, you can now use Modified’s pico, mbed, Wiring and Wiring Mini, Basic Stamp, Propeller
It uses 12 nails in a wooden fruitbowl to sense the resistance between different fruits and vegetables. This then goes to an arduino mega and gets send to max/msp with the arduino2max patch. I then used some low frequency oscilators and a heavy subwoofer for that real body feel.
Back in September, Matt blogged about the QLOCKTWO text-display clock from high-end German design firm Biegert & Funk. If you like their version, one can be yours right now for the low, low price of €885, which is about $1200US as of this writing. Matt mentioned, in his original post, that the design “could be […]
Eiji Hayashi, a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon, built this ingenious game out of an Arduino Mini and a matrix of LEDs which double as light sensors, triggered by a laser pointer. See Hayashi’s website for schematics and source code.
Arduino Assisted Mind-Controlled TV! Paul writes – I have finally gotten around to re-writing some of my old code and re-recording a proper demo of controlling physical objects using thoughts by interfacing an EEG headset with an Arduino. While this technology is interesting and exciting, before anyone sees this as an endorsement for this particular […]
The video isn’t exciting but it’s cool, showing the actual spoofing of an RFID signal — the maker’s antenna and an actual RFID tag, both scanning the same. RFID tags are all over the place. They’re used in building access control systems, passports, inventory tracking…. This instructable will show how you can use an Arduino […]
The folks over at Gadget Factory have implemented an Arduino-compatible avr8 processor on an FPGA, called the Butterfly Wiring-Arduino IDE.
