Ever since the release of the Redpark Cable for iOS and Brian Jepson’s Make: Project, this bundle has been scarce. We just received a shipment of parts so the Redpark Breakout Pack for Arduino and iOS is currently back in the Maker Shed! For those that missed it, this cable along with the P4 RS232 adapter lets you talk to microcontrollers and sensors with your iOS powered device without jail breaking!
I don’t know about you, but I’m a little sick of hearing about the same people on TV over and over again. I came up with this Arduino-based solution to mute my TV so that I don’t have to hear about Donald Trump’s feud with whomever or Charlie Sheen’s most recent rant. Using the Video […]
Super Awesome Sylvia is back with an all new video about the LOL Shield! Take it away, Sylvia! For this build, we’re laughing out loud at how many LEDs we’re going to solder in for the LOL (Lots of LEDs) Shield by our good buddy, Jimmie Rodgers! Let’s go!
I’ve been working with the pre-release version of the cable for a couple of months now and I’ve put up some sample code to get you started. Including a rather nifty Universal application for the iPhone and iPad which will let you directly control an Arduino board. I’ve dubbed it the “Paduino.”
The LoL (Lots of LEDs) Shield is a charlieplexed LED matrix for the Arduino. The LEDs are individually addressable, so you can use it to display anything in a 9×14 grid. Scroll text, play games, display images, or anything else you want to do.
Need more digital outputs on your Arduino? Check out the EZ-Expander Shield from the Maker Shed! Using the two 74HC595 shift registers, you can add up to 16 new output pins (numbered 20-35.) The shield itself uses 3 existing Arduino pins to operate (pins 8, 12, and 13), so overall you get 13 additional output pins to use.
Give your project some beat with the Seeed Music Shield from the Maker Shed. The Seeed Music Shield is an Arduino compatible music player / recorder that is also Ipod / Iphone compatible. It is based on VS1053b chip so can play variety of music formats stored on MicroSD card.
