Arduino theremin-like musical instrument
Alberto made a really nice Arduino based theremin-like musical instrument, schematics and source on the site – photos & more.
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!
Motor Party! Arduino motor shield preview
I’m very excited about this forthcoming Arduino motor shield, it can drive 2 hobby servos as well as up to 2 steppers or 4 bidirectional DC motors. Zooooom, zeeerk, zoooom, zeeerk! – Link.
uDuino: A very low cost Arduino compatible development board
Tymm writes – Arduino boards are great for prototyping. However they get rather expensive when you have multiple concurrent projects or need lots of controller boards for a larger project. There are some great, cheaper alternatives (Boarduino, Freeduino) but the costs still add up when you need many of them. This is a way, after […]
Solenoid concert
Here’s a “software-sequencer which controls 8 solenoids that knock on different things and therefore produce rhythmic noise. Made with Puredata, an Arduino and a homemade relayboard to control the solenoids”.
Making furniture interactive – The cameleon lamp
Greg’s “cameleon lamp”, he writes – Concept: To design a light that mimics a color if shown to it. Design: lamp driver. LEDs are very efficient as they only emit one frequency of light, and because of this the light produced could be perceived as flat and lifeless. Instead i used tungsten bulbs because unlike […]
Arducopter: Arduino helicopter control
Jason @ Hackzine write – A recent Arduino -vs- Basic Stamp discussion over on the DIY Drones site really caught my eye. Jordi makes a nice argument for the Arduino, showing off the current state of his Arducopter, which you can see in the video above. Built using a low cost electric heli, an Arduino […]
DIY Tilt sensing mouse
Here’s a great DIY tilt sensing mouse made with an Arduino – [via] Link. Related: Arduino @ MAKE – Link. Get started with Arduino with the MAKE guide! – Link.
