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!
I absolutely love this video posted by Jessica Wolpert. It’s (3) eleven-year-old girls working on an Arduino project. It looks like the final project is a “mouse alert system” that blinks the eyes of the cat when the mouse gets too close. I am so happy to see kids experimenting with electronics and micro-controllers. Are […]
Adafruit industries took a little field trip recently to W/—— project space in Chinatown, NYC to check out Peter Sand’s robot-tended garden. The giant robot creates a garden, plants seeds, waters them and lovingly tends to it – the operator can control the robotics with a game controller and for the Arduino fans, it has […]
From the MAKE Flickr pool Joining the modular forces of Arduino and Lego, Greg and Rael built the above-seen motor shield with a convenient plastic brick interface. Head over to Flickr for more project pics. In the Maker Shed: MotorShield for Arduino Kit
I found this Arduino project really interesting and educational. They used several different techniques to get everything to work properly. I love the disclaimer of “way too many technologies”. How true! However, it’s not always about the practicality of a project, as much as it’s about the process and documentation. Here’s my latest project. It […]
I just came across this really interesting instructable about controlling motors with the Arduino. It looks like a really simple, and cheap, way to use an L293D chip for use in robotics. Check out the link for all the details and code. After long research and trial and error, I have came up to a […]
The always-inspiring folks at Oomlout are now showing off a forthcoming Arduino breadboard kit they’re working on, a make-your-own ‘Dunio built around the ATMega168 chip. The kit will come with the chip, a breadboard, a hook-up wire kit, and all of the support components you need to wire up a working Arduino. If you already […]
