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!
Conductive body paint and Arduinos… Nilay @ Engadget writes – And you thought conductive paint was boring. Say hello to the Humanthesizer, a joint creation between electronic musician Calvin Harris, Sony Music UK, and Bare conductive body ink, which turned 15 bikini-clad ladies into a giant Arduino-powered synth capable of playing Harris’s track “Ready For […]
b00m Arduino 017 is now available! The open-source Arduino environment makes it easy to write code and upload it to the i/o board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The environment is written in Java and based on Processing, avr-gcc, and other open source software. Release notes: 0017 – 2009.07.25 [documentation / […]
This is one of the largest DIY XY tables I have come across. Apparently it is based on an Arduino and a PS2 mouse. I’m not sure what it will be used for, or how accurate it is, but it’s cool. Check out the skateboards used instead as linear rails. Does anyone know more about […]
This looks like a great start to making a cheap vinyl, or stencil, cutter. All it needs is the addition of some kind of Z-Axis control. There isn’t a lot more information about the build, but there is a promise of an instructable soon. If anyone is interested, I could always make another How-To Tuesday […]
Arduino based pedal-for-more bandwidth exercycle… from Matt and Tom.
“Where is your art?” is a collaboration between Mรยกrton Andrรยกs Juhรยกsz, Melinda Matรยบz, Gergely Kovรยกcs and Barbara Sterk. The piece uses hacked electronic toys, stripped of their furry little pelts, and connects them to Twitter. Every time the term “art” is found on the Twitter feed, the toys will speak the tweet. I want one! […]
This project uses an Arduino to play back the IR sequences that were captured form the I-Sobot’s remote control. The next step is to add some sensors, and make the robot fully autonomous. Check out the link for more information about the build, including the source code. I decoded the Tomy Isobot IR protocol and […]
