Tweeting photos with an Arduino
Here’s another impressive Arduino project from Japan. Blogger arms22 combined a serial camera module, Arduino, and Ethernet shield to build a photo-twittering microcontroller.
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!
Andy Holtin’s “Glance”
Andy Holtin, Assistant Professor of Sculpture at American University, in Washington DC, just posted an in-progress video of an installation project he’s working on called Glance. He writes: I’m using the audio line from the DVD to sync eye movement with the Arduino (used the Pro Mini this time and loved it) through an opto-coupler […]
Secret handshake of the future
While at the MIT Media Lab earlier this week, I met David Cranor, a student in the Object-Based Media group, who showed me his LilyPad Arduino secret handshake project he made with Amanda Peyton, Arlene Persaud, Rajiv Bhatia, and Sinbae Kim for their Tangible Interfaces class last semester. He writes: We ironed on conductive fabric […]
Alarm clock overkill
Maker Eric Ayars needed a complicated alarm clock to match his complicated schedule, and thus was born the Alarm Clock Overkill project.
Bill Gurstelle’s article on DIY in The Atlantic
MAKE contributor Bill Gurstelle has an awesome article in the latest issue of The Atlantic about DIY, Arduino and art: For a few dollars, creative and motivated individuals–rather than just corporations or institutions–can make highly intelligent tools, perfectly customized for a particular need. …large artistic installations used to require multiple programmers and engineers. But now […]
Arduino-powered mood meter
The Arduino powered mood meter monitors an IRC channel and display the current “mood” of the maker. I bet a lot of opur readers already have all the necessary components to make this project. All you need is an Arduino, a servo, and some tape. Check out the link for the Ruby & Arduino source code.
How-To: Laser tripwire with webcam + twitter
Action_owl (awes name!) set up a versatile intrusion detection system using Arduino + Processing – This instructable will show you how to construct a laser tripwire that can twitter and grab an image from a webcam, as well as execute any command you can put in a bash script. This instructable is actually quite simple and is […]
