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!
David Chatting built this Arduino Eye Shield so that he could hook up an analog video camera to his Arduino. It sounds pretty crazy, however by utilizing an LM1881 video sync separator chip and some comparators, he was able to use the Arduino to capture at least 8 1-bit monochrome values from each line of video data.
The Voice Shield is an analog audio shield for the Arduino. It allows you to easily add audio sound bytes to your next project.
The Hardcopy ATMega328 kit is designed to make a permanent version (or Hardcopy if you will) of your Arduino project once you have perfected it on a breadboard but without the expense of embedding your original project.
Hold the digital presses! We have a hot-off-the-fab entry for our All-Arduino Gift Guide. Our BFFs at Solarbotics have just announced a new Arduino shield, the SB-GVS Arduino Shield, a break-out board for interfacing 3-wire hardware (Signal/Voltage/Ground) to Arduino. The SB-GVS shield lets you easily interface this sort of device [servos and other 3-wire peripherals […]
Bre has posted an item about the MakerBot watch he’s been working on. He’s selling some prototype kits really cheap ($30) to get them out there so others can give feedback, mess around with it, improve it, etc. He writes: I’ve wanted to have an Arduino style watch in my pocket and I got my […]
From the MAKE Flickr pool Jan decided to decorate more than the tree this holiday season – I happened to use white spraypaint for another project when i thought i could make my arduino look like christmas. Still works flawlessly of course. If you wanna do the same, i advise you not to use woodglue […]
Arduino lovers have a whole lotta hardware to choose from nowadays. From Arduino clones optimized for a variety of different users, to an arsenal of shield attachments specially designed for nearly every type of project. We’ve got a lot to cover here, so let’s get started, first with the basics – (Read on for the […]
