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!
Using a chip that’s sort of an Arduino times 4, the Reprap team has a new prototype motherboard. Via hackaday: When the RepRap team found themselves pushing the limits of the Arduino, they started looking for alternatives. They found it in the ATMega644P. It has four times the memory and four times the RAM compared […]
This is a great open source MPG instrument for your car. It’s based on the Arduino micro-controller along with a few other sensors. I really like all these open-source projects that are springing up all over the place. Amazing! MPGuino is part of the OpenGauge instrumentation effort, which was created to make available efficiency instrumentation […]
Why would you make an Arduino on stripboard? The maker has a hard time getting PCB’s made where he lives. Check out the site for details about the build. As a special bonus, you can see what happens when you solder a capacitor in backwards. BOOM! More about making an Arduino on stripboard In the […]
This is a really cool game demo by Lok Neville Lee that uses an Arduino, accelerometer, and Papervision3D to interact with the character on the computer. The graphics look great, and the controls are awesome. I really hope more games are in the works! More about Interactive gaming with an Arduino
Arduino is well suited for the task of sequencing an analog synth – even a sweet-sounding Buchla, as seen above. (Oh, and cats like it too!) [via Matrixsynth]
This week I am going to show you how to hack a MAKE gift subscription card. Actually, it’s showing you how to interface a 7-segment display with an Arduino. I just happened to make it into a gift card subscription. My idea was to give a MAKE subscription and an Arduino to a friend. What […]
The folks at Oomlout, who created the OAWR and SERB robot projects, have put up a new Instructable on controlling their SERB (or any Arduino-based bot) usuing the Wii Nunchuck. BTW: The OAWR project is featured in The Best of Instructables. We have request a SERB kit from Oomlout and hope to have full build […]
