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!
Jens Wunderling created “at second glance” as a guerilla marketing system. It’s a POV system that relies on the fact that your eyes are constantly moving. The viewer will notice something unusual about the light strip when it’s first observed. Not until the viewer moves their head rapidly will the hidden message be visible. More […]
I am definitely adding this to the top of my list of “things I have to build”. It looks like an extremely simple solution for displaying video via an Arduino. If any of our readers try this out before I do, post a link in the comments or email me. I would love to see […]
From the Make Flickr Pool: Erik has created a nice collection of PCBs for Arduino. They are part of a larger project for the Machine Collective. In spite of all the smart, multifunctional and state-of-the-art controllers that are commercially available today, there is a continuous demand for custom physical interfaces and configurable controllers. When using […]
Here is where I would attempt to summarize the meaning behind Bram Knaapen’s “Technology Context Communicator”. It’s a fairly complex subject matter, so I think I will let him do it for me: The non face-to-face communication of social and emotional experiences between people usually happens through phone or other media like e-mail, IM (instant […]
Yes – it’s true. There is absolutely no item in existence that the Arduino microcontroller platform cannot enhance! Matt stepped up his Thanksgiving experience by adding a plethora of Arduino tech to his pre-cooked holiday centerpiece – I’m always looking out for new ways to add more shields and components to my Arduino, and this […]
The Arduino open-source microcontroller platform can be programmed and equipped to perform a nearly endless list of functions. It’s likely the best all-around centerpiece to a modern electronics project. But one of the tasks Arduino is best used for is straight-up fun – the open design means there’s an Arduino board suitable for almost any […]
Collin posted about the Arduino MIDI touchpad a few months ago. At the time, there wasn’t too much information about the project. Now you can get the code and read more about the build on the Arduino forums. It’s always great to see Makers share their code! Thanks ludo! More about the Arduino MIDI touchpad […]
