Some time ago [ant.b] from the Arduino Forum manage to reflash the Atmega8u with other LUFA Firmwares. [Dimitri Diakopoulos] has recently developed a similar approach for his HIDUINO project. Very good explanation & references. Diakopoulos succeded to make Arduino show up as a MIDI Device: LUFA powers the HIDUINO project in that it handles most […]
A step-by-step guide on controlling physical things (like grabbing candies with a mechanical arm) via Internet (please, try!). In this instructable you will learn how to connect to your arduino and control it over the net, set up a video stream, and how to control stuff with your arduino all in realtime. I’ll try to […]
[pabloxid] shared an Hexapod project on the forum based on an Arduino MEGA 1280 and 18 Dynamixel AX-12 motors: SAMSA is based on the Wiring board, with an ATmega128 microcontroller, and SAMSA II on the Arduino Mega, with an ATmega1280. Both are pretty similar, tough the ATmega1280 has 8 KB SRAM, twice the ATmega128. For […]
Massimo é stato invitato dalla [Fondazione Giacomo Rumor] – Centro Produttività Veneto – a spiegare Arduino e l’innovazione distribuita dell’Open Hardware. L’incontro, di due ore, si terra a Vicenza giovedì 31 Marzo, alle ore 18:00, presso il Viest Hotel (Strada Pelosa 121 – Vicenza). Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Scarica l’invito [qui], [thread di Pitusso sul Forum […]
[Mark Fickett] shares a nice solution to keep track of pils and medecines his mother takes. When taking her battery of medicines, my mother occasionally loses — or, lost — track of which ones she had already taken. This aims to keep track of what’s been taken (and how recently); and also to provide a […]
[Michael] posted some interesting uses of Nootropic’s latest shield, the Video Experimenter Shield, besed on a LM1881 video sync separator to detect the timing of the vertical and horizontal sync in a composite video signal. It’s one of the few examples of Arduino processing a live video signal, as previously seen with the Eye Shield […]
Arduino distributor Libelium is developing a new sensor board including a Geiger tube to detect alpha, beta and gamma radiation. The board is going to be releades open source. Once the first prototype is finished it will be sent and tested in the Hackerspace at Tokyo. This new sensor board will be compatible with both Waspmote and Arduino […]
[Alex] collects retro gaming consoles. One day while playing a SNES title, his save games got wiped when he powered off the system. It turned out that the battery inside the game cartridge got disconnected somehow, and it got him thinking. He decided he wanted to find a way to back up his save games […]
For the many spanish-speaking readers of the blog, an interview with David Cuartielles, explaining Arduino and its “silent revolution”: Arduino es el Hardware Abierto —o Libre, como gusten— por excelencia y David Cuartielles su co-creador. Él, junto Massimo Banzi y un creciente grupo de hackers de la electrónica y el software han diseñado y construido […]
[Nick Bilton] published an article about Arduino and how it influenced Interaction Design, with a close look about Exhibition Design. “The Arduino has changed the way we can create and build exhibits,” said Hélène Alonso, director of interactive exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. “In the past, we would have […]
