3D Printed Paper Airplane Launching Gun
One nutty tinkerer built a gun that folds and fires paper airplanes.
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!
An Arduino-Based Computer
While most of us think of Arduino boards as something to be programmed by a computer, there’s really nothing that says you can’t use an Arduino-style microcontroller as one. It could be argued that the Arduino is already a computer, but in the case of the DemUino, a small display is embedded into an old […]
“Dottie” the Flip Dot Clock
Most of us have probably seen clocks or numerical displays that flip sequential boards to display the next number in a sequence. If you wanted to take that a step further, you could make a replica of “Dottie,” which flips small dots as pixels. As the great video below says, it makes a “pleasant mechanical […]
Arduino Gets Physical With The Materia 101 3D Printer
We take an early look at the Materia 101, Arduino’s first foray into 3D printers
Bringing makers back to the Lab
Scientists working in a lab are just folks. Like motor heads with cars, we have our favourite makes and models—except with scientists, it’s all about the lab equipment.
Smart Remote Control Doubles as Super Simple IR Sniffer
Want to sniff a remote control or other IR device’s control codes? The Smart Remote Control will make quick work of that, combining an Arduino Yún with a simple solderless breadboard circuit.
MOMA Adds Arduino, Makey Makey, And More
I’ve always said that one day I’d wake up and the Arduino would be in a museum. However, I’d sort of expected it to take a bit longer.
