Denkitribe posted this rather sweet demo of Tinker.it!‘s Arduino based sound synthesizer project, appropriately titled “Auduino”. While some delay/reverb+accompaniment have definitely been added, the sweet sounds of granular synthesis still shine through – I built one and plugged a stylus controller which was ripped from Gakken SX-150. It works very well. Its sound is dry […]
Making the Arduino EMF detector
Aaron ALAI’s EMF detector project looked so simple and fun I had to give it a try!
Arduino robot platform
This looks like a huge robot army of fun! Four wheel drive robot with dual h-bridges controlling four motors for differential steering. ATmega168 microcontroller running at 16mhz. Arduino shield compatible headers to allow for stackable shields and protoboards. Zigbee socket for wireless bootloading or USB for wired programming. Quadrature encoders on each side for dead […]
Programming AVRs with Eclipse
MightyOhm points out this tutorial covering some basic setup for using the Eclipse programming software with AVR chips. If you’re not familiar, Eclipse is a cross-platform open-source development environment that uses plugins to expand compatibility with different coding languages. The AVR plugin can be found here and the software can even be configured to make […]
