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!
This could be a great starting point for a motion control system or a DIY simulator. The movement of the servos is very smooth, and they can all be controlled simultaneously and independently. The website has all the code needed for the build and a nice video of it in action. This tutorial will describe […]
Love your Boarduino but hate that FTDI cable? Ladyada to the rescue again, with a new kit: a USB Boarduino kit, with the FTDI chip (surface mount) and USB port pre-soldered and tested for kit-assembling ease! Related: Boarduino – Breadboard-compatible Arduino clone
If there was only a write-up or source code available for this really interesting Arduino project. The only details are that it uses OpenGL and a KXPS5 Accelerometer. This looks like it could be adapted into a really fun game with just a little more code.
Our pals over at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories have released version 2.0 of their awesome Peggy LED pegboard display kit. I had the pleasure of seeing this thing in action at last week’s Maker Faire. I want. …Peggy 2.0 still does the same darn thing: it provides efficient power to a 25 x 25 array […]
This project uses a chip that was common in video games of the 1980’s. I really like the sounds it produces. Unfortunately there isn’t any how-to, or schematics, for this project. This video shows a hardware (“real”) SP0256 IC sequencer from Ableton Live via internal MIDI routing and a serial connection over USB. Learn more […]
I am not really sure why the toilet should be connected to an Arduino, but apparently Mau has a legitimate reason. I like the mechanics of this project, and it just goes to show you that anything can be, and will be, computer controlled eventually. Thanks Mau!

I just got a firsthand look at the Arduino Pocket Piano from Critter & Guitari. Looks like much future fun – expect to see more on it soon.
