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!
Twittering interactive sculpture: Where is your art?
“Where is your art?” is a collaboration between Márton András Juhász, Melinda Matúz, Gergely Kovács and Barbara Sterk. The piece uses hacked electronic toys, stripped of their furry little pelts, and connects them to Twitter. Every time the term “art” is found on the Twitter feed, the toys will speak the tweet. I want one! […]
Arduino controlled I-Sobot
This project uses an Arduino to play back the IR sequences that were captured form the I-Sobot’s remote control. The next step is to add some sensors, and make the robot fully autonomous. Check out the link for more information about the build, including the source code. I decoded the Tomy Isobot IR protocol and […]
Wallbots: Robots that climb your fridge!
Stacey Kuznetzov made these fun robots that can traverse vertical metallic surfaces. Each bot is programmed with a unique personality and has embedded light sensors to perform some basic human interactions. She has an Instructable that explains how to make them. If you don’t have a metallic surface to infest with robots, you might want […]
DIY intervalometer for Nikon DSLR cameras
Etharooni designed this wonderful intervalometer to help him take awesome photos with his camera. He writes: Entry-level Nikon DSLRs don’t have many built in features that the higher-end cameras do, like an interval timer, for instance. It’s an exceedingly useful feature. If you want to take star trails, time lapse, repetitive self-timer shooting, or whatever, […]
Introducing the Concertinome
Anonymous reader points out this squeezebox gone digital, incorporating a 16-button monome pad – the Concertinome is a custom made instrument combining the concertina accordion with the monome style keyboard and electronic air pressure sensors. It was made by Espen Sommer Eide 2009 and demonstrated in this concert at Visningsrommet USF, Bergen, Norway. Seems like […]
