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!

Arduino Touch-Screen Piano

This is an interesting video I found on YouTube. I really like the integration of a touch-screen and the Arduino. I just wish there was more information about this project. I don’t think this would be too difficult to reproduce in Processing? Specs: 8″ touchscreen LCD from ebay My super DELL computer ^^ Visual basic […]

arduiNoise(beats);

Bit-music loving Arduino users – I ported (and modded a bit) one of the Noise Toy programs over to the lovely and talented Arduino platform. Just add a couple of momentary switches to pins 8 and 9 and connect stereo audio to 3 and 4 – you’re done. Loud Objects’ code proved quite fun to […]

Arduino for breakfast?

Arduino for breakfast?

Like many of us, Justin doessn’t have time to cook up a real breakfast before heading out in the morning. So he put Chef Arduino to work automating the process using a relay interface and a few other components – So I hooked up a coffee maker, and two electric stove surfaces to the RelaySquid. […]

Arduino Pro 3.3V/8MHz

Arduino Pro 3.3V/8MHz

Sparkfun now sells a variation of the Arduino called the “Arduino Pro”. Check out the specifications to see if it’s the right board for your next project. If you are new to micro-controllers, I would start with an Arduino Diecimila since the Pro needs a few thing to get it connected. The Arduino Pro is […]

Arduino Noisemaker

This is just the beginning of a more complex Arduino powered noisemaker. Apparently the next version will also include midi controls. I really want to see this project developed further, especially the midi integration. Read more about the Arduino Noise Maker

Arduino digital compassing

Arduino polishes up its navigation skills via an inexpensive compass sensore component – A small digital compass based on hall effect is connected to an Arduino 10000 board. The logic in the board turns on and off leds depending on direction. There are 4 leds, one for each in N,S,W,E. When two leds are ON […]
