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!
Team Twiizer is able to inject custom graphics onto a DSi via an Arduino. There isn’t a lot of information about this hack yet, but the teaser video is really cool. I’ll post more about this project when the details are unveiled. A full week of hacking is finally giving us some fruitful results. Enjoy […]
The WaveRP library makes audio recording possible with Arduino(ATMega328), WaveShield + simple mic preamp circuit – WaveRP is an Arduino library for recording and playing Wave files with the Adafruit Wave Shield. It records 8-bit mono files at 4,000 to 44,100 samples per second. Use of the Wave record/play library, WaveRP, requires the following: Arduino […]
Peter points out the release of the Cantarino speech synthesis library for Arduino – demoed above in an endearing rendition of “Daisy”. An interrupt on the PWM output timer calls a sample generator. This uses a synthesis similar to FOF or granule synthesis – using two sines and a square wave of adjustable pitch and […]
Dutch artist and music hacker Gijs Gieskes has struck again, this time hooking up a cassette machine (with audio on one channel, a rim-shot on the other, used as a trigger ) to an Ardunio and the Arduino to a Gakken SX-150, to create a sequencer for it. WalkSX More: How To – control a […]
Last week I wrote about interfacing an optical mouse with your Arduino. Vivi chimed in on the comments with some interesting information about the sensor, and a link to their version of a mouse scanner. It’s a really well documented build that I am definitely going to try out. Thanks Vivi! OK, so I finally […]
The Spanish company and Arduino shop Libelium just finished their second-annual Hacking Life Arduino contest. This year’s winners are: Francisco Reinoso, Remote-control printer Joe Cochran, Sketchduino (a computrer-controlled Etch A Sketch) Carlos Tricas, Musical fan You can see videos of the projects, and download docs via the link below. Winners of the Arduino Contest 2009
Learn to build your own Arduino board (and learn to solder while you’re at it) at this introductory class being offered by Hack Pittsburgh. The class is hardly more expensive than an assembled board would be, and you walk out with more skillz than when you came in. Arduino 1: Building an Arduino Hack Pittsburgh […]
