Arduino for sale., originally uploaded by dam. We didn’t have a booth of our own, but Arduino was still well-represented at the Maker Faire in the Bay Area. There were lots of cool projects using Arduino, like the Stribe multi-touch controller and Becky Stern’s LilyPad embroidery (previously featured on our blog). There were also a […]
grayscale, originally uploaded by oskay. Peggy 2.0 is a multiplexed matrix display of 25 by 25 LEDs from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories. This version comes with an ATmega168 loaded with the Arduino bootloader, and can be programmed directly from the Arduino environment using a USB-to-TTL cable. The programming Peggy 2.0 page has more details and […]
The RepRap project just announced the selection of Arduino for the next stage of their efforts to build a self-replicating rapid prototyping machine. We’re flattered and excited to have Arduino playing a part in such a cool project. Kudos to Zach “Hoeken” Smith for persevering through some mysterious bugs to get this working. The RepRap […]
Photograph by lindes. Synoptic Labs took some great pictures using an Arduino as a high-speed photography controller – a nice simple circuit. They shot a pellet gun at peeps (above) and an egg. There’s more information on their blog and more photos on Flickr.
BlinkM is a new smart LED from ubiquitous computing consultancy ThingM. It can smoothly fade to an RGB- or HSV-specified color, randomly fade between nearby colors (for mood lighting), or play back a number of canned, and a single saved, sequence. The compact package contains a bright RGB LED and an AVR microcontroller, and can […]
The reference designs (Eagle files) for the Arduino Diecimila and Arduino BT are now available under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license. This is effectively the “source-code” for the boards: both the schematics and PCB layouts in fully editable format. Together with the Eagle Layout Editor (available in a freeware version), it’s all you need […]
We’re very happy to welcome the newest member of the Arduino platform: the LilyPad Arduino. The board was lovingly crafted by Leah Buechley and SparkFun electronics for use in wearable / e-textile projects. There’s also a whole range of accessories: power supply, sensors, LED and sound output, etc. It’s all available from the LilyPad section […]
One of the new features we added in the Arduino Diecimila is the ability to upload sketches to your board without having to physically press the reset button. The Arduino software automatically resets the board before starting the upload. If you’ve got an Arduino NG or serial board, you can give it this same ability […]
Finding the right parts can be a pain, especially when you’re new to electronics (as many Arduino users are). That’s why Octopart is so great: it allows you to search for parts across multiple distributors, telling you the price and quantity available from each one. For example, you can use it to find a replacement […]
Check out Fritzing: an “open-source initiative to support designers and artists to take the step from physical prototyping to actual product”. Started by Prof. Reto Wettach and André Knörig at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam and funded by MWFK Brandenburg, the project aims to create software that makes it easier to document Arduino-based prototypes […]
