Anthropomorphizing a houseplant with Arduino
Reading Time: < 1 minuteArduino Team — May 18th, 2021 Plants certainly add a nice ambiance to the environment, but at the end of the day, you can’t really “connect” with them as you do with a pet. As a solution to this problem, Gediminas Kirdeikis decided to anthropomorphize his houseplant using an Arduino Nano,…

Arduino Docs has all the info you ever need about Arduino boards
Reading Time: 4 minutesThe truth is, we never entirely got to grips with Arduino documentation. Until now. Now there’s a new standard for gathering together product info, tech specs and tutorials, that we’re calling Arduino Docs. We’re excited to share it with the Arduino community who’ll soon be able to help it grow. It Began…

This DIY shuttle mission control box looks like a blast!
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — May 13th, 2021 Becoming an astronaut is probably one of the top careers on any child’s list, but it’s not all that practical, especially when they’re still seven years old. That’s why Gordon Callison wanted to create a virtual shuttle mission control game that simulates a space shuttle launch with tons of different…
