How to make a shield for your arduino
As a hobbyist, we often want to extend the functionality of our arduino board. In order to minimize wires and maximize functionality, we design special need-based ‘shields‘. A useful step by step tutorial that I found here , breaks down the process into the following stages: 1) Part selection 2) Prototyping the board 3) […]
Mexico reporting: Don Ingeniero and his Anti-shield
I spent the day in Mexico City buying components for my forthcoming Euroaxacan workshop in electronics and software for craftsmen. I usually get here fairly cheap wheels for my robots, nice soundspeakers for building music instruments, wire -lots of wire-, great responsive buttons and some other stuff. I try to avoid LEDs, since they are […]

Tweeting in morse code
For those of you who are addicted to merge new technologies to interface-archeology here is a new ‘Tworsekey’. A vintage looking tweeting device which takes input in the form of morse code and tweets the output. It features arduino and the ethernet shield. The sketch can be downloaded from here. Needless to say that […]
Circuit Milling Workshop With Massimo
BetterNouveau is organizing a promising workshop about circuit milling with Roland iModela in Turin. Massimo is going to walk you around milling your own shield. […] you’ll learn to design and create your very own Arduino shield (‘shields’ are boards that can be plugged on top of the Arduino extending its capabilities). We’ll start from schematics, […]
Aprono le Officine Arduino
Una mattina di più di un anno fa ho ricevuto una telefonata di Riccardo Luna, una delle sue in cui ha un’idea un po’ pazza, che sai che se dici di sì ti metti nei guai ma alla fine ne esce qualcosa di importante. A Riccardo avevano appena affidato la curatela della mostra Stazione Futuro, […]
Arduino Servers – or why were slow
Hej everyone, this is a very personal post to explain and send an apology to the community for our very sloppy server response over the last month or so. I will also rise a case for how the website works and for how we are envisioning our newcoming webservices. I know some of you will […]

Control An LCD with a 595 Shift Register
[Carlo Denaro] is sharing a smart solution to save digital pins while controlling an LCD, using Shift Register 74HC595. A simple yet useful project with skecth&libraries, datasheets and Fritzing schematics. via [grayhats.org]
I am Printer
Some arty news from K3, Malmo University, Sweden. Three of the students at the Master course in Interaction Design (Scott, Baris and Marcus), in collaboration with the Swedish poet Pär Thörn, created the interactive art installation “I am the poet”. A machine and event dedicated to gather twitter messages including the words “I am” and […]
Circuit Milling With Roland iModela, Now Available on Arduino Store
[Enrico Bassi] from FablabTorino brought to the extent the use of the Roland iModela, using the little (and inexpensive) desktop milling machine for pcb milling. (in the picture we milled the overexposed Fritzing Parking Assistant). He wrote some Scuola Lessons (here’s the first) to explain how he realized the pcb, starting from Fritzing. Roland iModela […]
