From the MAKE Flickr pool Arms22 built this handy display to keep an eye on departing train times. Nice idea – I can think of many occasions this would have helped me out a bunch – Train Schedule Message Board on Flickr
From the MAKE Flickr pool Joining the modular forces of Arduino and Lego, Greg and Rael built the above-seen motor shield with a convenient plastic brick interface. Head over to Flickr for more project pics. In the Maker Shed: MotorShield for Arduino Kit
Jimmie has this followup on his announcement for Maker Revolution in Boston this Saturday and Sunday: The event can pretty much be summed up as a two day extravaganza of makers, hackers, and artists getting together to share cool things they’ve made, and how to make them. There will be installation art pieces, workshops, and […]

From the MAKE Flickr pool Flickr member Recotana brings good news for Arduino users in the form of a new code library which facilitates control via the network optimized OSC data protocol. The above video demonstrates basic functionality using the iOSC app for iPhone OS, but the library could be used with any OSC software […]
Gijs posted details for building his “Hardware” Software Synthesizer 2 project using Arduino compatible parts. His prototype combines all components onto a standalone board but it appears this could easily be adapted to a standard Arduino. Altogether, it’s a whole lot of functionality with a relatively low part count. Features include – 6-bit resistor DAC […]
A brand spankin’ new big brother to the Duemilanove, the first pic of a new Arduino board has surfaced. The Mega uses an ATmega1280 surface mount chip and offers a whole big bunch of new features – 128KB of Flash 4KB RAM 4KB EEPROM 53 IO 4 HW UARTs 14 PWMs I2C bus 16 Analog […]
