Ping pong balls have long been known as excellent LED diffusers, but few have taken this technique as far as Thomas Jensma. His colorful clock features 128 LEDs, arranged in an alternating pattern, and housed in a stretched-out hexagonal wood frame. Everything is controlled by an Arduino Nano, along with an RTC module for accurate […]
This year’s Arduino Day, held on March 16th, consisted of 659 celebrations across 106 countries with talks, project exhibitions, open activities, workshops, live demos, hackathons, and Ask the Expert sessions. The Official Arduino Day event took place in Milan, in collaboration with Manifattura (see photos), where Massimo Banzi and Fabio Violante unveiled some important figures […]
Michael Sobolak was inspired by the hardware dedicated to Ableton digital audio software, along with the DIY MIDI Fighter pads that others have constructed, to make his own light-up version. His device is cut out of ¼-inch MDF, housing a 4×4 array of main buttons, 18 smaller buttons on the bottom and eight potentiometers, four […]
Arduino boards are used in a wide—massive even—variety of projects. Sometimes, however, all you need is something to give your project the ability to blink an LED, sound an alarm, or accomplish some other simple task. For this purpose, maker Jeremy S. Cook has developed a sort of standard method for using these devices, with […]
Arduino Day is quickly approaching and we are blown away by the amazing support of the Arduino community, with over 650 events in more than 100 countries scheduled for March 16th. As recently announced, the Official Arduino Day (register here) — directly organized by the Arduino team — will be held in Milan at the […]
Rubik’s Cubes seem to have been most popular in the 1980s, but never really went away. As such, if you have one lying around your house unsolved, why not ‘simply’ construct a machine to do this for you? One possibility is the Q-Bot, outlined here. While it won’t break any world records, it’s a solid-looking […]
If you’ve ever considered constructing your own wireless RC transmitter, be sure to check out this build by Electronoobs. The device uses an nRF24L01+ module to transmit inputs from a pair of joysticks and toggle switches, along with an Arduino Nano for interface and control. What sets this project apart from his previous versions, however, […]
When your car door isn’t shut quite correctly, you’ll normally look down at the control panel to see what the problem is. What if, instead of indicator lights or a low-res door ajar display, you had a tiny actuated version of your vehicle on your dashboard? Mathis Ochsenmeier’s Analogous Door Display is exactly that. It […]
While you may or may not want a gigantic backlit skull haunting the wall of your workshop, this was perfect for Jay and Jamie of the “Wicked Makers” YouTube channel. Their device is cut out of two 30” squares of plywood with a CNC router. This forms a base layer that holds everything off the […]
While you might see a CRT by the side of the street and think noting of it, Ryan Mason has come up with a novel use for five of them in a row called the Cathode MK1. This set uses the Unity game engine along with an Arduino board to spread games across five tube […]
