Learn About the Arduino Yún
In this video from last September’s Maker Faire New York, Michael Shiloh describes the very cool Arduino Yún.
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!
Atmel Brings Making to CES, Promises Big Things in Small Packages in 2014
As MAKE scouts through CES 2014 with the question “Is making going mainstream?”, we have been finding more and more examples of how much it is, and the Atmel booth is one of the most defining models of that.
Stepper Motor Makes Beats
Miguel Valenzuela created a series of computer controlled beats by placing a stepper motor on a guitar’s pickup.
Arduino Near-Field Communication
Don Coleman demonstrates using both Adafruit’s and Seeed Studio’s NFC shields to read Near-Field Communication (NFC) tags.
You Got an Arduino. Now What?
Don’t let your Arduino just gather dust in a drawer after the 25th. Learn from this video and you’ll be well on your way to letting it also gather data on how many times that drawer gets opened as you try to remember where you stored the New Year’s decorations.
RobotsConf 2013: Mission Accomplished!
RobotsConf, a new conference designed to transform coders into makers, was a huge success!
I spoke with conference curators Chris and Laura Williams before the event. They had an audacious plan, and I wondered if it would work. I’ve attended many tech conferences and maker events, but never one with this format – a format which was later referred to as “sleep-away maker camp” by an attendee.
This Arduino is No. 1 on my List
I’ve had to use several Arduino Boards for the projects I’ve worked on but none have been as dead simple to use as the Arduino Uno. This Arduino is as plug and play as they come and supports the standard Arduino shields you’ll want to use for your various projects.
