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!
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 […]
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 […]
We take an early look at the Materia 101, Arduinoโs first foray into 3D printers
Scientists working in a lab are just folks. Like motor heads with cars, we have our favourite makes and modelsโexcept with scientists, it’s all about the lab equipment.
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 Yรบn with a simple solderless breadboard circuit.
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.
E-Tracers are electronic ballet slippers that utilize LilyPad Arduino to make drawings from the dancer’s movements, like ballet calligraphy.
