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!
Who knew controlling X10 via an Arduino was so easy? If you are interested in home automation and want to add some unique, or custom, sensors check out this website. My current project revolves around using the Arduino and the X10 home automation protocol and hardware. The gist of what I am doing with this […]
I found this interesting game while scouring the Arduino forums. There is a video, but unfortunately not a lot more detail about the project. The maker, ‘mettapera’, stated: The code inside Arduino is nothing special, but if somebody asks, I’ll post it too. OK, I am officially asking to see the code. Even if it […]
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool Instead of relying on the usual project wiring, Kris designed a custom Arduino shield for controlling an LED light bar. He was also kind enough to document the ins and outs of his process – After many months of working on my Arduino based project, I decided to finalize […]
You can find a lot of projects that use the Arduino micro-controller, but it is rare to find such a large project like “Making Sense of Space”. It uses light, temperature, CO2, and several other types of sensors to gather data about the work environment. BOP – Making Sense of Space was a £1 million, […]
The Trimphone is a modified telephone that includes a web cam in the earpiece and an Arduino in the base. By dialing different numbers the user can select different video loops that are mixed with the live feed from the web cam. [Thanks Lukas] The rotary dialer circuit and Arduino code are pretty simple. Dialer […]
This is a really interesting Arduino project that involves manipulating stereo sound so it appears to move in a virtual 3-dimensional space. There is a lot of interesting information in the forum and the code can be found here. The effect is so sharp, you can tell the difference between center, ten degrees left of […]
This video shows an 8 by 8 dual color LED Matrix controlled by an Arduino and Boarduino that is bright enough to project the patterns on the ceiling of a space. Lots of details on this simple build including a parts list at the link below. LED Matrix Projector
