Projects With Ryan Slaugh: Custom Proto Shield
There are a lot of different shields out there for Arduino. However, sometimes there arises a need to make your own. Even more plentiful in the world of electronics are integrated circuits that do a lot of nifty things. Some control output, some input, and some are sensors. In this edition of Projects with Ryan Slaugh I show you how to make your own custom proto shield.
Diyode Codeshield Gets a Lesson Plan
The Diyode Codeshield is a fascinating project out of the Diyode hackerspace in Guelph, ON. It’s an Arduino shield loaded with sensors, a buzzer, a motor, LEDs, a rotary encoder, and so on, with the idea that it would help people learn Arduino programming without having to learn about electronics first. The group showed off […]
Arduino GSM Shield Now Available
There is a new Arduino GSM Shield that connects an Arduino Uno, Mega, or Leonardo to the GSM cellular network, enabling you to make and receive phone calls and SMS. I can’t wait to see all the cool projects that come out of this technology!
New in the Maker Shed: Arduino WiFi Shield
Looking for a way to network enable your Arduino projects without wires? Look no further, you need the Arduino WiFi Shield available in the Maker Shed! This shield fits atop your Arduino and will connect to an 802.11b/g network with relative ease. The shield comes completely assembled and uses pass through headers allowing other shields […]
Arduino Shield Makes 8-Pin Chip Programming a Snap
I was delighted to see the positive reaction to my latest video, Shrinkify Your Arduino Projects, which is based on a tutorial by MIT Media Lab’s High-Low Tech Group. Their tutorial walks you through the process of not only using the Arduino as a programmer for 8-pin ATtiny chips, but also how to use Arduino code and the Arduino IDE to program them. In order to make this process easier, Randy Sarafan created an Arduino shield for programming these diminutive chips. Head over to his Instructable to get the board and learn to build your own!
Super Awesome Sylvia Shows How to Build the LOL Shield Kit
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!
