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!
I turned an Arduino Protoshield into a digital-to-analog converter with only a few extra parts. It’s proved a lot of fun for audio experimentation and a great way to learn about what DACs do and how they do it. What’s DAC? Digital to analog converters, or DACs, are used to create varying voltage levels from […]
Check out this carpet keyboard by Maurin Donneaud. It uses an Arduino board to gather input from the perforated foam contact switches which are activated by stepping on them! Via Ladyada AND Hack-a-day.
We’ve blogged about analog meter clocks before. This one uses three meters (for hours, minutes, and seconds) and is powered by Adafruit Arduino and an Ethernet Shield. A month or so ago, a friend of mine introduced me to the Arduino Board. It’s an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on a simple microcontroller. Add various […]
This project explains how the Arduino can interface with I2C. Pretty nice description with a detailed how-to included at the link below. Arduino I2C Expansion I/O
Twenty-five teams, 1 box of parts, 4 hours, winner takes all — welcome to the 2008 XD Design Build Prize.
Suneth Attygalle made a pair of sight-blocking goggles that help you echolocate with the use of an ultrasonic rangefinder sensor. He used an Atmega8 chip running an Arduino bootloader, and some welding goggles. He even made a bat goggle instructable so you can make them yourself including source code and wiring diagram.
One of the participants from the “Hybrid World Scrapyard Challenge” workshop we held in Brussels, Belgium this past week created this Audio Sampler/Mixer from an old tape reel machine using an Arduino to collect the inputs and web-based control of samples. Check out all of the photos from the workshop at the link below. Flickr […]
