Introducing the Multixylophoniomnibus, an augmented xylophone
TP students Hana, Ania, and Greg built this augmented xylophone, the multixylophoniomnibus.
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!
Tetris meets Arduino
Like Tetris, but tired of playing it alone in the dark on your Game Boy? Well, now you can rejoice, for Luyza Pereira and Bettina Hiel have brought Tetris into the era of physical computing with their installation Tetris meets Arduino.
Arduino-compatible prototyping board
From the MAKE Flickr pool Spikenzie Labs shares some glamour shots of the new Hardcopy Arduino prototyping board – Designed to make a permanent version (or Hardcopy if you will) of your project once you have perfected it on a breadboard but without the expense of embedding your original Arduino into your project. The hardcopy […]
Random MIDI generator
Miketron converted his random MIDI note generation software(MAC/PC) into hardware form via an ATMega168 chip – A couple of months I took my MAX/MSP code for Random7 and rewrote so I could embed it into a hardware version. Random7 Hardware Version 1 (R7H) is a very basic version of the Random7 software. The core element […]
How-To: Arduino-based laser tag
J44 outlines his steps for converting a basic gaming light gun into a custom Laser Tag-like system, including gun and head mounted ‘hit’ detectors (a la Photon) – I hope many of you will find this instructable useful and will go on to build your own duino taggers. There is much scope for improving and […]
Arduino EMF Detector + piezo
YouTuber jodex96 souped up the basic Arduino EMF detector project with a piezo buzzer. The resulting audio feedback from the device is reminiscent of a geiger counter – very cool! I’m loving all the variations people are cooking up for this one. Related: Making the Arduino EMF Detector
An operating system on my Arduino? Say it ain’t so!
This looks like an interesting development: Youtube user ArduinoWill claims to have managed to shoehorn an operating system onto the tiny microcontroller system, called Pyxis OS.
