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!
This all in one camera remote is now an Arduino project, nice! – One of my other hobbies is photography, and, about a year ago, I purchased a new digicam – a Panasonic FZ30. I joined the Panasonic forum on the dpreview site. One of the posters, a programmer and electronic hobbyist, designed a nifty […]
Chris writes – I am the author of the original Beakman’s Electric Motor page. Over the years, I have received dozens of e-mails asking me how to measure the speed of the motor. I got one such e-mail last week on the same day my Arduino Diecimila board arrived from the Make Store, so I […]
We’ve mentioned Leah Buechley on the blog before. She’s a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Colorado who does some really innovative things with soft circuits, LED clothing, and other geek couture. She writes of her most recent projects, the LilyPad: e-textile construction kit version 2.0 There is no reason for fabric […]
The last time these were in our store they sold out in a couple days – The Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It’s an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for […]
David Fowler of uC Hobby writes: A new version of the Arduino board was released that added a cool new feature. With help from Paul Badger of Modern Device Company and Brian of the Freeduino project this article will show you how to modify the Bare Bones Arduino board to make it compatible with the […]
Here’s a great HOW TO on controlling an iPod with the Arduino, Jonas writes – This tutorial will describe a way of controlling an iPod remote, and thus, an easy way of getting some music and sound out of your Arduino project. The remote we used was an unofficial remote I found on the worldwide […]
Mark writes in with another Arduino project! It’s Arduino Tuesday! – Rather than driving a video display, I took the Arduino in the opposite direction, driving the SparkFun RGB LED Matrix Backpack. This is paired with a Python program (running on a rather more powerful computer) which is downsampling video files and sending them to […]
