Yeah, we went to NYC!
It is now a month since the Arduino Uno meetup at ITP finished, I have been busy as hell (and I still am), but it feels it is time to report back to the community about my share of what happened there. We -the Arduino team- had to meet for our yearly discussion about how […]

Arduino Ant Farm
Amazing project from [Adam Franchino], via [MAKE] I went to the RobotFest / Mid-Atlantic Mini Maker Faire yesterday. I saw this awesome project and thought you might like to put it on the blog. Basically it’s an ant farm with optointerrupts. When the ants walk through the lightpath, they modify the audio output. The maker’s […]
a Virtual USB Keyboard Shield is born
[Jonathan Oxer] from Practical Arduino discovered a shield made on his Virtual USB Keyboard project: I don’t know anything much about it other than what’s shown on that page, but from what I can deduce it’s the circuit from the Virtual USB Keyboard project converted into a nice PCB with a bunch of buttons included […]
Floppy drives, Arduino board mangled into audio delay effects
[Michael Una] posted nice review on the ongoing Floppy Audio Effects Project on Create Digital Music: This year, you can add 3.5? floppy drives and disks to your shopping list, courtesy of Daniel McAnulty’s project Floppy Audio Effects. Dan figured out a couple of neat tricks to create delay/reverb effects by writing audio to the […]
Twitwee clock tweets your Tweets
What would be the most apt way to notify someone when they have a new Tweet? Why through the chirps of a cuckoo clock of course. Heidelberg-based designer Haroon Baig has modified a traditional cuckoo clock adding an Arduino board, custom software and a touchscreen display to create the Twitwee clock. (cool) Video after the […]
Getting Started with Arduino – #0
If tou really want to take a step by step tour on the Arduino, you really should look after this John Boxall post. During these series of posts, we will refer to the Arduino website, and the book: Getting Started with Arduino (Massimo Banzi) and also assume a basic knowledge of electronics. I can recommend […]
Soldering is easy – comic adaptation by Mitch Altman
[…] I [Andie] wanted to pass that on, and thought a comic adaptation could work to teach it, and that having 1 page of instructions that could be pinned to the wall next to soldering stations in hackerspaces, handed out at workshops, or just used to refresh the basics would be a good idea. So […]
Arduino+Servo Tutorial
Basic, therefore useful, Arduino/servo tutorial. In today’s post, I’ll show you how to connect a simple servo to Arduino. It may sound difficult, but it’s really easy. Hardware *Servo (1x) Arduino Board 3 Wires via [RobotOverlord]
Putting an Arduino Diecimila to Sleep & Waking Up
In this series of blogs I will be describing how to put an Arduino Diecimila into sleep mode, thus reducing the power consumption of the device. This can be quite useful (even necessary) when you are powering your Arduino via a battery and/or solar panel. Consumption in the Arduino… There are several devices on the […]
