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!
Cool visualization on a monitor via Arduino An arduino board is controlling the RGB lines of a VGA connection to an LCD monitor. However, the horizontal and vertical sync lines are being generated by a proper computer. – Code and info on Little-Scale – Link Related: Arduino TV – Link In the Maker store: “Critter & […]
Over the last year Arduino has become of the most popular microcontroller and learning platforms out there, it’s open source roots and thousands of projects have made it a frequent item in MAKE. So for this year and the holiday season I wanted to put together a gift guide that had the best of the […]
Jason @ Hackszine writes – Here’s the latest espressotronic creation in the long human tradition of modifying machines to produce the perfect cup of coffee. The creator, Nash Lincoln, got a few of his ideas from a similar project which used a PIC and an NES controller to manage a Rancilio Sylvia machine. Between the […]
This is a nice little tutorial on building your own Arduino compatible breadboard. The heeart of the board is an AMTEL8 AVR and breakout board from SparkFun. It is a fairly easy build, but if you just want to jump right into programming pick up a completed version in the MAKE store! – Link
Matt Mets made this simple servo-controlled walking bot which uses a Barebones Arduino to walk, one leg at a time. Source code included. – Link.
Our very own Becky Stern was in the news yesterday, in the ASU State Press, talking about Archie, the sensor squid, a project of ASU’s Reflective Living Group in the Arts and Media Engineering program: The way the squid is set up makes it ideal for group collaboration, Stern added. In most office or research […]
BREAKING NEWS FROM MAKE: The gang from Botanicalls (Kate Hartman, Kati London, Rebecca Bray, and Rob Faludi) used one of Adafruit’s new Ethernet shields for Arduino to make some plants talk – and now you can too! That’s right, having your houseplants Twitter you when they need water and more! “Botanicalls Twitter answers the question: […]
