We’ve come across many an Arduino clone in the Maker Shed. While most don’t add any value to the original occasionally you get one that does, like the Menta. We asked Limor Fried, the founder and engineer at Adafruit to talk about the MENTA and how it differs from other Arduino-compatabiles, find out what she said..
Alasdair Allan, author of Learning iPhone Programming, Programming iPhone Sensors, and iOS Sensor Apps with Arduino (available along with the Redpark Breakout Pack for Arduino and iOS) sat down with MAKE’s Dale Dougherty to talk about getting iOS devices and Arduino talking to each other. (video link) Dale and Alasdair are just two of your […]
The robot Exuro is driven with Python, controlled with Arduino, tracking with Kinect, and best of all shoots fire every time someone donates to The Crucible in Oakland, CA.
I was asked to make something for the O’Reilly Strata Conference, which was held in Santa Clara at the end of February 2012. We needed some devices to capture votes from attendees who participated in Coco Krumme‘s Data Crush: Where Wine and Data Meet: This new event at Strata will host wine tastings for participants, […]
The MintDuino Game Pack provides a fun and informative way to learn about the world of Arduino compatible microcontrollers. Even if you’ve never programmed or dabbled in electronics, the MintDuino Game Pack will give you a firm foundation on which to build!
Larry Ogrodnek, creator of the LED NameTag kit, figured out a great way to use an RGB backlight LCD to display temperature data. His simple project lets you see rough temperature data from across a room.
A step-by-step explanation of how to read a schematic and build a breadboard prototype from it.
