There’s no denying the fact that everyone loves the ever popular Arduino. However, the “shield” approach used by Arduino has its limitations and those of us that are also fans of the Gadgeteer prototyping platform know that there’s a better solution – modules. Finally, it looks like there will be a module-based Arduino derivative that will […]
I took some time to talk to kinetic sculptor Eric Hagan and what he’ll be up to at Maker Faire NY this year.
Turn your Arduino into an AVR programmer with the TinyLoadr Shield! Jeff Murchison’s shield makes shrinking Arduino projects easier and more efficient.
Aided by affordable materials, 3D printers, and open source technology, the merging of human and machine is a thriving subset of the maker community. Next week’s World Maker Faire New York will showcase a number of these projects and the makers who made them. These projects are also a testament to the best impulses of human nature: once we possess new skills and technology we look for ways to use them as a force for good and to share them with others.
Announced earlier in the year at Maker Faire Bay Area the Arduino Yún, the first Linux-based Arduino board, is now available for purchase at a cost of €52 (approximately $69) from the Arduino store.
“The distinctions between software and hardware are disappearing.”
Instructables user Tall-drinks wanted to learn how to use the BLE Mini Bluetooth 4.0 Interface from Red Bear Labs so he modded a lamp to display the current weather outlook from OpenWeatherMapAPI. By stuffing an Arduino, the Bluetooth module, a servo, and a cardboard gobo inside the lamp shade, he was able to have his […]
