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!
The “Nervous BlinkM” takes the smart LED developed by Tod. E. Kurt even further by sensing its environment with a Sharp GP2D12 range sensor and a Boarduino clone. The project reads the distance the board is from the user and computes a “value” for the nervousness. This reminds us of the tech behind artist Pete […]
Here’s a cool port of Arduino and Processing software running on the famed One Laptop Per Child (OLPC). This will no doubt enable lots of new hackers to emerge from the laptop’s growing user base. OLPC runs Processing and Arduino – Link, thanks Gian!
five.b.oh writes: I’ve been playing with Mobile Processing for a few months now and I recently wrote a little sketch that can shuttle bytes from an arduino board to a website and back using a cheap Motorola phone. All the work is largely based on samples and tutorials I found around the web. . . […]
Leah Buechley used her LilyPad Arduino to make this soft circuit turn signal bicycle jacket, great for spring – Link. Related: LilyPad Arduino – Link.
Similar to a traditional clock, the Arduino displays the time on some 7-Segment LED displays. A little more unusual is the fact that it also strikes the hours on the fire extinguisher. Just remember, fire extinguishers will explode if hit too hard. You might want to use an old, and empty, one for this project. […]
Having a remote control pass data, via an Arduino and the serial port, can be a great addition to a lot of projects. This is not the most detailed of builds, but I think there is enough information there for anyone that is already tinkering with the Arduino. There is a link to the sketch […]
Calculating Danmark incorporates an old 7-segment calculator and an Arduino to make a physical representation of Second Life’s virtual economics. I really it when the physical and virtual worlds are combined into a piece of artwork. Calculating Danmark is a comment to how Second Life is branded on its economical possibilities, to such an extent […]
