Arduino synth sequencer proto
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]
Arduino
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!
How-to Tuesday: Hacking a MAKE gift subscription card
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 […]
SERB robot with Wii Nunchuck control
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 […]
Arduino rainbow
Smart Projects is a special holiday pack of 10 Arduino boards in an array of colors – neat! Unfortunately I do not find myself in need of 10 Arduinos … at least not right now :/ – Arduino Duemilanove Color [via Arduino Blog] Arduino Duemilanove
Arduino gift guide – PDF
We did a massive Arduino gift guide this year and a few folks asked if we had a PDF of it, so here it is! Remember the last day of shipping from the Maker Shed is this Friday, December 19th!
Garduino: Gardening + Arduino
I just published my Instructable on getting my Arduino to take care of my plants. Specifically, Garduino waters the plants when their soil resistance level drops too low and turns on supplemental lighting to make total light daily equal 16 hours regardless of outside conditions. It’s not pretty, but it works! Other than de-uglification, let […]
Fritzing: Open source PCB design
We wrote about Fritzing before, but they have a new Alpha version available that is worth checking out. I really like this program and can’t wait to see the future enhancements. Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers and artists to take the step from physical prototyping to actual product. We are creating this […]
