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!
Todbot makes an interesting suggestion Analog meters are hard to use in hardened environments. If you’re showing data from digital sources, why not use a digitally-controlled analog meter? laser cut acrylic meter face & needle, tiny 25mmx12mm $3 servo, and arduino. – Servos as meters on Flickr MotorShield for Arduino Kit
The “Arduinome” is yet another Monome clone built with the Arduino controller. Check out the video for details on how this kit works. arduinome, via CreateDigitalMusic
Formants is an interactive artwork by Erin Gee. The piece plays .wav files when magnetic sensors detect the hair being brushed. It is all powered by our favorite little micro-controller, the Arduino. Read more about Formants
”Itspace” by Peter Traub is an Arduino-based physical and online sound installation where everyday household objects play sounds of themselves being struck and resonated in different ways. Check out some images of the build process of this project at the link below. ItSpace, via Turbulence
This is the perfect project for all those people who love Twitter. As if sending Tweets about every aspect of your life wasn’t enough, now your house can join the fun. It looks like a fairly easy project to implement, and a lot of fun too! You could adapt this project to Tweet almost anything. […]
This inventive real-time music visualisation system uses an Arduino, piezo sensors, webcams, a 3G network card, Bluetooth adaptor, and other connectors to produce some pretty interesting visual output.
