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!
It’s been a great week in the Maker Shed. We started out with another How-To Tuesday: Arduino 101 and ended the week with a quick preview of the Gakken Gravity Clock kit. We are expecting more new kits in the Maker Shed this week, so keep on checking the MAKE blog for details. How-To Tuesday: […]
Huh – this is really interesting, an “app store” from Liquidware….
Here’s the .zip file for the Personal Flight Recorder project from the Maker Workshop in Episode 9 of Make: television. Check out the PDFfor full instructions on how to build your own Personal Flight Recorder. Share your questions or comments in the comments section below. Watch the Maker Workshop – Personal Flight Recorder segment. Or […]
From the MAKE Flickr pool Another useful piece of software from Flickr friend recotana – this time it ‘s a handy Arduino library for controlling iPod via appropriate connector. Looks to be quite an easy method for adding audio to a project considering the near omnipresence of iPods these days. The documentation is written in […]
I know there’s a number of folks out there who love Arduino sketching but have yet to really break the ice with Processing (same here!) Morgellon posted this basic orientation for communicating between the two pleasingly similar environments – and he didn’t forget to post the relevant code either. Using both environments in tandem, opens […]
This is the 3rd installment of my Aduino How-To Tuesdays. This week I am going to cover using another basic part, the potentiometer. I will also cover connecting a servo to the Arduino. Servos can be hard to control, but not with the Arduino! That’s just another reason why I love this little micro-controller. Subscribe […]
Arduino developer David Cuartielles gives gives us a peek into one of his late night hacking sessions – If you have nothing better to do during a winter night in Sweden, you can always hack a couple of libraries together and make a third one. SDplayWAV is for people interested in playing sounds from SD […]
