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!
Just ran across this post on CiboMahto’s blog detailing how to control an inexpensive analog clock mechanism with an Arduino. The mechanical bit is quite simple. The clock functions in a similar fashion to a stepper motor, in the sense that you charge an electric coil to get the mechanical bit to move forward a […]
My friend and yours, Gareth Branwyn, heard I was testing the Epilog Zing laser cutter and asked if I could cut him the parts for a 4Volt Jansen Walker. Gar is a robot master and a steampunk to the core (check out his Lost Knowledge issue of MAKE magazine for more proof) so I figured […]
Much like the Arduino Starter Kit before it — but better! Bridging the gap between the “real world” and your computer, the Advanced Arduino Starter Kit from the Maker Shed takes you further into the world of physical computing. We’ve included all sorts of cool electronic parts this time, along with our best selling Making […]
Bridging the gap between the “real world” and your computer, the Getting Started with Arduino kit from the Maker Shed is your starting point into the world of physical computing. Using the electronic parts included, along with our best selling Getting Started with Arduino book by Massimo Banzi, the co-founder of Arduino, you’ll be ready […]
Libelium, a European distributor of Arduino and Arduino accessories, holds an annual project contest. Winners are picked based on “novelty, ease of replication, and level of documentation.” Check out this year’s winners at the Arduino blog. The video above is by Francisco Reinoso, who took first place.
BBC News’ Tech department highlights a collection of Arduino projects, introducing the platform to a a broad audience in the process. This is some very bigtime recognition for the lil’ blue board and its users – and hey its about time! =) [via Arduino Blog] Update: Some were curious as to where the above vid […]
Instructables user pstretz made this Arduino-based simple soft tone generator for another user (carmitsu) who wrote: I teach music in elementary school. We play a lot of recorder music. i.e. the kids play little flutes…… I have several special needs kids who can are using these black poster boards with circles that have the name […]
