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!
Don’t forget, the March meeting is tonight! I’ll be speaking on “Darkside Rocketeer,” my article from Volume 13 of MAKE, about self-taught American rocket scientist Jack Parsons, co-founder of JPL and Aerotech. Tom Lee will be speaking on low-cost approaches to bringing WiFi to Arduino. The Skinny: 7 PM – 9 PM (ET) ALWAYS FREE! […]
Dave over @ PopSci shows you how to build an ambient LED project using an Arduino… Ambient technology is the current rage for presenting information in a unobtrusive and, sometimes, sublime manner. Information suited for an ambient format ranges from complex number-laden data streams to simple one- or two-digit numbers. The idea here is that […]
Ben made another really cool guitar effects pedal. This time he used a cheap voice recorder and an Arduino to sample and continuously loop a recording. You can read all about it on his website. He even posted all the code so you can make one yourself. DIY Loop effects pedal Related: Ben made this […]
Leah Buechley will be a part of a Wearables Master Class by Mediamatic teaching a workshop on her LilyPad Arduino in Amsterdam April 15-18. During the workshop, you’ll learn how to make soft, playful, and wearable computers by using the LilyPad Arduino. Other instructors are Maurin Donneaud & Vincent Roudaut of XYinteraction (textile & electronics). […]

A user on the LadyAda.net forums has created an arduino shield for controlling a first-gen SNES audio processor. No samples up as of yet but this could prove to be much 16-bit fun. – Arduino SNES audio shield [via] Related: Making Arduino sing, Part 4 In the Maker Store: Arduino Diecimila
This chic pet-substitute responds to touch with pulsing blue LED ‘eyes’ and a purring effect courtesy of Lilypad vibe boards. Two Lilypad Arduinos run the animal simualtion and the touch contact is implemented via conductive fabric layers – For this, I made two layers of fabric. One with three pieces conductive fabric that goes out […]
