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!

Arduino LDTV – Low res TV!

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 […]

Collin writes – Because I know there just aren’t enough Arduino projects, I thought I’d tell you about my stab at an Arduino Synthesizer. It’s currently monophonic with pitch control and a simple hardware low pass filter. I’m working on adding MIDI-in and hopefully vibrato in the future. Thanks for the inspiration, Make!

Arduino category on MAKE

There are so many Arduino projects lately (and we are now stocking, well trying to keep stocking) the Arudino kits in the Maker store I’m giving them their own category here on MAKE… What’s Arduino? Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, […]
