Making Noise With Arduino
“Make some noise” was a short one-day workshop about Arduino where we explored the topic of sound and it was aimed at complete beginners with no experience. To simplify the structure of the workshop we started with hands-on experiments composed by a quick set of exercises to enable the participants to understand the basics and, later on, to start exploring pitch, frequency, tone ,and multiple effects—with quite curious results.
Sneak Preview of Maker Faire Rome Projects
At the beginning of July we spent a couple of days going through all the submissions received to participate in Maker Faire Rome — the European Edition, taking place Oct. 3-6 in Italy. It was a great experience for us to discover makers’ projects from all around Europe, and the MakerTour gave us the chance to meet some of them and to produce 69 video clips to share this experience with all of you.
Making the Future with Arduino — Introducing the Arduino Robot
It’s not only a matter of launching a new product. It’s important to share a story of how a passion for tinkering is helping us explore new, unexpected roads.
