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!
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. Check out the link for the details on the hardware involved in this project. Live Musical Performances Visualisation System
This is a really cool robot head that can show emotions as it reads incoming twitter feeds. The web site has a lot of information about the build, including program downloads and the schematics of the interface board. I definitely want a Ganzbot in my studio. This funny little robot has eyes, eyebrows and a […]
Little-Scale shares tips for using a button keypad with the Arduino platform – The idea of the digital scanning of a keypad is very simple. The keypad in question has twelve buttons, set up in four rows of three (like a phone keypad, for example). Each button has two connection points รขโฌโ one point goes […]
This looks like an interesting project made with an Arduino and a laser pulled from a laser level. There are schematics and a video on the website if you want to try and make one for yourself. After programming the Arduino, I took out the ATMega168 and wired it into a breadboard along with a […]
An Arduino, model bulldozer, servos, and sensors can be hacked together to make a sub-$100 robotics platform, appropriately named Ard-e. While certainly nowhere near as fancy as this Wall-E replica, the price is right and the Arduino’s got a huge body of pre-existing code for working with sensors that the aspiring roboticist can build upon. […]
This open source serial to MIDI converter lets you easily get MIDI data from your Arduino to any Windows MIDI application of your choice over USB. Pretty cool hack that avoids the need for a MIDI out circuit for your Arduino or USB/MIDI converter to your computer. S2MIDI: Open Source Serial to MIDI Converter for […]
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool Flickr user [fluxa] put an Arduino board to work outputting control voltage to a DIY SoundLab synthesizer. While the PC software has yet to be released, the Arduino code is pretty straightforward – using a pulse width modulated output through a simple resistor/capacitor filter. – CVAirSequencer Project on Flickr […]
