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!
Instructables user Tall-drinks wanted to learn how to use the BLE Mini Bluetooth 4.0 Interface from Red Bear Labs so he modded a lamp to display the current weather outlook from OpenWeatherMapAPI. By stuffing an Arduino, the Bluetooth module, a servo, and a cardboard gobo inside the lamp shade, he was able to have his […]
There are a lot of different shields out there for Arduino. However, sometimes there arises a need to make your own. Even more plentiful in the world of electronics are integrated circuits that do a lot of nifty things. Some control output, some input, and some are sensors. In this edition of Projects with Ryan Slaugh I show you how to make your own custom proto shield.
Arduino’s upcoming board, the Yún, is like an Arduino Leonardo and a Linux-based WiFi router packed onto one board.
I have to admit, I love LED, who doesn’t. But when i came across this awesome Instructable from user Sbbrain I started to go nuts.
