It’s Arduino’s 15th birthday! We are inviting the whole community to join Arduino Day 2020 on Saturday, March 21st. Arduino Day is a 24-hour-long celebration around the globe, organized by the community for the community — where those interested in Arduino get together, share their experiences, and learn more about the platform. Participation is open […]

Omni wheels normally contain a number of rollers arranged on their circumference, allowing them to slide left and right and perform various tricks when combined with others. The rollers on UCLA researchers Junjie Shen and Dennis Hong’s OmBURo, however, are quite different in that they are actually powered, enabling a single wheel to accomplish some impressive […]

Modern woodworking tools are amazing, allowing you to make any number of useful or decorative objects from the comfort of your garage. Unfortunately, they also produce a lot of dust, so YouTuber “Atomic Dairy” came up with the idea to install an air purifier that can cleanse the shop air eight times per hour. This […]

An important new feature is now available in the Arduino IoT Cloud — full support for LoRa® devices! LoRa® is one of our favorite emerging technologies for IoT because it enables long-range and low power transmission of data without using cellular or WiFi connections. It’s a very powerful and promising technology but it comes with […]

Learning to play an an instrument well takes a lot of time, which many people don’t have. To address this, Franco Molina — who enjoys MIDI controllers and writing music, but describes himself as being terrible at playing the keyboard — created the Synthfonio. Molina’s DIY device is vaguely reminiscent of a guitar, with a […]

Our dev team has some more exciting news to share: Arduino Pro IDE v0.0.4-alpha has been released. Highlights include: Automatic Arduino language server (LS) recovery. From now on, if the LS process terminates, it restarts automatically. Updated the bundled Clang version to 9.0.0. Bundled Clangd into the application for all supported platforms. Better keybinding support for the upload, verify, and […]

Using 7-segment displays to make a clock is nothing new, but what if you combined 144 of them together to create an epic LED timepiece? That’s exactly how this project was made, allowing it to show surprisingly smooth mega-numbers and a colon set at an angle. The build itself is controlled by an Arduino Nano, […]

When you get a notification on your smartphone, more often than not, you’re doing something more pressing. You then silence the alarm, and perhaps forget about it. Nick Bild, however, has created a pair of smart glasses that take a new “look” at things by instead giving you a notification when you’re staring at an […]

Want to know if someone is telling you the truth? Well, unfortunately Juan Gg’s “USB Polygraph” isn’t a professional product and won’t actually give you an answer. However, it is a neat exploration into biometrics that incorporates Arduino, some sensors, and data visualization. The DIY lie detector does measure one’s galvanic skin response, pulse, and […]

We’re excited to announce that Arduino IDE 1.8.11 is here! In addition to the usual load of bugfixes and small improvements under the hood, the latest version includes: Improved support for Mac OS X (the app is now notarized and strictly follows the latest OS X recommended security guidelines) A “send text” command within the serial plotter […]
