“Danger Shield” for Arduino
Zach Smith’s new “Danger Shield” for Arduino. This looks excellent for learning!
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!
HOW TO – Detect pollutants with Arduino
Here’s a how-to regarding the detection of volatile organic compounds using Arduino and a TGS2620 sensor – This lets your Arduino smell (and hence you program responses to) overall gas levels for a variety of nasties, including ethanol, methane, formaldehyde, and a bunch of other volatile organic compounds. No explanation as to how refraining from […]
LilyPad Arduino Embroidery
I just finished my first composition with the LilyPad Arduino, in the form of a conductive blinky embroidered wall hanging. It generates a little tune that’s changeable by covering the photoresistor. If you’re around Phoenix, you can come see it on Friday night at Cartel Coffee Lab in Tempe. Related: LilyPad Arduino
Robot avoids walls, needs to cut the caffeine
This project was a challenge to create a wall avoiding rolling robot called “Walbot”. The bot uses an Arduino and is very effective at avoiding obstacles, almost giving it a neurotic personality. Check out the video for details and follow the how-to link below. Build a wall avoiding robot!
Arduino in an Altoids tin
TriggerDog has been doing the projects in Making Things Talk, and came up with a great way to take the Arduino on the go: Small easy, and awfully unorigional. But, useful and free. Now I can bring my arduino with me in my laptop bag and goof around with it at lunch time at work […]
Arduino flash trigger
A user on the Arduino forums built this high-speed photo flash trigger – I used Arduino to build a trigger for my camera’s flash. It turned out to work really well! The write up includes an explanation of how camera triggers work and the benefits of using Arduino. One benefit of using a microcontroller like […]
Arduino MIDI touchpad
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool Ludo_d built a custom MIDI touchpad controller using Arduino – Started from a scavenged Cirque Glidepoint resistive touchpad (PS/2 compatible), 2×8 LCD (in 4 bit mode), two buttons and a serial Arduino board. The buttons when pressed allow to set the Continuous Controller number by gliding the finger on […]
