Dave Prochnow writes on PopSci: Every AVR programmer worth her weight in ATmegas knows about the AVR Butterfly–a ridiculously low cost ATmega169 demonstration and evaluation kit. Lamenting the lack of such a kit for the ATmega168 drove me to design my own demo/eval kit for the Arduino microcontroller family. This project became a compulsion that […]
Got a Meggy Jr RGB? Wrap that rascal in this comfy Meggy Cozy. Right this way and Lenore will show you how it’s done… Meggy Cozy More: Meggy Jr RGB Programming Guide and libraries Introducing Meggy Jr RGB
Using a chip that’s sort of an Arduino times 4, the Reprap team has a new prototype motherboard. Via hackaday: When the RepRap team found themselves pushing the limits of the Arduino, they started looking for alternatives. They found it in the ATMega644P. It has four times the memory and four times the RAM compared […]
I just published my Instructable on getting my Arduino to take care of my plants. Specifically, Garduino waters the plants when their soil resistance level drops too low and turns on supplemental lighting to make total light daily equal 16 hours regardless of outside conditions. It’s not pretty, but it works! Other than de-uglification, let […]
Want to make your own Arduino shields? Garrett at Macetech has an Eagle file to make your life a little easier: I created a very basic Arduino shield scaffold; the schematic has only the standard Arduino headers, and the PCB has the correct header spacing and labels. The PCB headers are locked so they can’t […]
With all the fun about pov‘s, you might be wondering how to do it with an Arduino. Having a device that can be used for the pov and then for some other project has its benefits. check out Carlito’s Contraptions. The parameters in the code can be changed in order to display other images besides […]
From the Make Flickr Pool: Erik has created a nice collection of PCBs for Arduino. They are part of a larger project for the Machine Collective. In spite of all the smart, multifunctional and state-of-the-art controllers that are commercially available today, there is a continuous demand for custom physical interfaces and configurable controllers. When using […]
