At Maker Faire, we saw loads of really cool projects. The BeanCat was a clever one, a skid steer chair controlled by a Wii Nunchuck held by the user in a bean bag chair. The Beancat is an all-wheel drive, battery powered bean bag chair, controlled by a Wii nunchuk. Getting a drink from the […]
Just ran across this post on CiboMahto’s blog detailing how to control an inexpensive analog clock mechanism with an Arduino. The mechanical bit is quite simple. The clock functions in a similar fashion to a stepper motor, in the sense that you charge an electric coil to get the mechanical bit to move forward a […]
In my previous post, I presented some background on the green building where the SPARK Project #1 is being installed, and I discussed the basic signals that need to be measured for the project. In order to create inputs into my smart home dashboard, I need to measure temperature and humidity, both indoors and out, […]
Much like the Arduino Starter Kit before it — but better! Bridging the gap between the “real world” and your computer, the Advanced Arduino Starter Kit from the Maker Shed takes you further into the world of physical computing. We’ve included all sorts of cool electronic parts this time, along with our best selling Making […]
Bridging the gap between the “real world” and your computer, the Getting Started with Arduino kit from the Maker Shed is your starting point into the world of physical computing. Using the electronic parts included, along with our best selling Getting Started with Arduino book by Massimo Banzi, the co-founder of Arduino, you’ll be ready […]
Instructables user agent036 made this simple acoustic replica of a Vulcan lyre from Star Trek and broke down the steps to show you how, too.
Instructables user pstretz made this Arduino-based simple soft tone generator for another user (carmitsu) who wrote: I teach music in elementary school. We play a lot of recorder music. i.e. the kids play little flutes…… I have several special needs kids who can are using these black poster boards with circles that have the name […]
