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!
Josh writes in to spread the word about the Muralizer verticle surface printer/plotter project – which is hopefully a kit in the making – t’s a drawbot that takes SVGs as input, letting you print vector graphics really big. The project was started at noisebridge, San Francisco’s hackerspace, earlier this year, and we got a […]
Here’s a creepy, simple, and effective Halloween effect — a pair of glowing eyeballs that look back and forth at your victims. It’s made with two ping pong balls, two BlinkM programmable LEDs, three servomotors, and an Arduino microcontroller.
Besides the proton pack, he made a trap, a pair of “ecto goggles,” and the obligatory jumpsuit. “Aim for the flattop!”
From the MAKE Flickr pool Charles is using an Arduino ethernet shield to send the rhythm of his heartbeat over a network in the form of OSC messages. Each beat is detected via a simple sensor comprised of an IR LED and phototransistor – The idea is that when your heart beats you have a […]

Today, I am going to show you how easy it is to connect, and use, a Memsic 2125 Accelerometer from the Maker Shed. This sensor is able to detect tilt, acceleration, rotation, and vibration with a range of ยฑ2 g. It can be used for making balancing robots, game controllers, musical instruments and more. I’ll get you started…what you do next is up to you!
