How to control Arduino board using an Android phone

Kerimil, user on Arduino Forum, submitted us his  project which focuses on establishing communication between an Arduino board and an android mobile using Bluetooth®: The idea is to gain access to hardware on Android devices (accelerometers, gyro, wifi connectivity, gps, GPRS, touchscreen, text to speech and speech to text) and/or use it to relay data […]

Repeating Game of Life pattern on 8×8 bicolor LED matrix

As many of you know and Wikipedia clearly explains: The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. The “game” is a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with […]

A Physical Music Sequencer using RFID tags

Mike Cook prototyped  a diy physical music sequencer  with an Arduino Uno and we agree with him it has a “unique take on the concept an RFID sequencer”. He wrote us describing it with these words: This takes RFID tags each one mapped to a note and instrument and placed on one of 32 pegs will generate a music […]

A scary project: diy animatronic eyes

Thanks to Lance who created a project on Instructables,  you’ll be able to create remote-controlled eyes using Arduino Uno, two servos, some plexiglass and a couple of doll’s eyes. If you like animatronics,  watch the video below: the result is pretty scary!

A painting machine sensing your touch

  Kris Temmerman, a freelance creative developer based in Belgium, just published a nice report on how he built a painting machine running on an Arduino Due and an Android tablet. I was always interested to remove the perfection from computer graphics. So thought it would be fun to try to make the most obvious […]

A DIY magnetic levitation vehicle to inspire future engineers

Next to our Arduino booth at Makerfaire Bay Area we had a cool project created by Antipodes, a girls robotics team headquartered in Pacifica, California, USA. It’s a Do It Yourself (DIY) remote controlled (RC) model maglev with electromagnetic propulsion, or shortly called maglev. A maglev is just like a conventional train but instead of wheels […]

Knitic project, or how to give a new brain to knitting machines

Knitic is an open source project which controls electronic knitting machines via Arduino. To be more precise, Knitic is like a new ‘brain’ for the Brother knitting machines allowing people to create any pattern and modify them on the fly. Knitic kit is composed by an Arduino Due, a diy printed circuit board on top […]

DIY farm hacking takes off

  Steve Spence, an amateur organic farmer in Andrew, South Carolina, has a smart way of irrigating his vegetables. He uses water from his pond and the fish waste to fertilize his plants, a technique known as aquaponics. But the critical balance between the makeup of the water and soil means Spence has to know […]

DIY Air Quality Sensing from HabitatMap and Sonoma Tech

High-precision air quality monitors are normally very expensive, but Tim Dye of Sonoma Technology is on a mission to change that.  He’s been working with Michael Heimbinder and habitatmap.org to create a low-cost sensor system that when designed properly and integrated into a software platforms can provide valid data. AirCasting is a platform for recording, mapping, […]
