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!
Leah Buechley, everybody’s favorite e-textile expert, created this machine-embroidered LED matrix, alternating the top and bottom threads with conductive thread in order to use the fabric as a barrier between the two electrical traces. Very cool wearable display! Via Hackaday. More: All about Charlieplexing LEDs
I have to try this out! Apparently all you need is an Arduino, a few resistors, some aluminum foil, and you can build a simple 3D interface. I really hope this works as well as it appears in the video. The basic goal here was to make a 3D position sensing system that most people […]
Artbus by Ed Bennett at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a hardware and communications protocol for low speed control of discreet sensors and actuators. Since it is distributed it can be placed around a space where centralized control is not as important as spatial integration. Check out the link for lots of details including […]
Hanker-‘tude allows the wearer to update their Twitter feed just by tying the bandanna around their neck. It uses an Arduino Lillypad, blueSMiRF, and a Nokia phone to get the job done. Hanker-‘tude is a very simple, and a very unique way to twitter. Having to interface continuously with a gadget to update your online […]
This is an “eight step sequencer” that has additional volume and speed controls. It looks like there might be an Arduino in there, but I’m not sure. I wish there was more information on this project. A little more about the Vectrex Standalone Sound Sequencer
Making a binary clock is nothing new. However, it is a lot of fun and easy to make. If you have an Arduino and a parts bin, you should be able to make right now. Learn how to make a Binary Clock with an Arduino More: Make a Binary Clock
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool Funax built an HTML Color Name Generator to derive RGB hex code from a physical objects – I can decide the HTML color name without looking at color charts. […] PC side software was built with Processing. This stapler’s color is Cadet Blue. Ok? Ok! – HTML Color Name […]
