Reading Time: 2 minutesGive new life to an old electron microscope with Arduino Arduino Team — April 9th, 2018 As seen here, although you might consider your oscilloscope and other test equipment to be pretty neat, you most likely don’t have anything nearly as cool as the scanning electron microscope that was dragged out of a shed at […]
Reading Time: 2 minutespedalSHIELD MEGA is a programmable guitar pedal for your Arduino Arduino Team — March 27th, 2018 If you want to create new guitar sounds without having to redo your pedal wiring every single time, the pedalSHIELD MEGA from ElectroSmash could be just what you’re looking for. The pedalSHIELD MEGA takes input from a guitar via […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteMake your own 3D-printed robotic vacuum with Arduino Arduino Team — February 26th, 2018 Tired of cleaning your house? A robotic vacuum may be the logical solution, but if you’re “theking3737” something off-the-shelf just isn’t quite cool enough. Created as part of a school project, he was responsible for the hardware design, while a fellow classmate […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesWater speakers enhanced with an Arduino Mega Arduino Team — February 14th, 2018 Maker “cool austin” is a fan of water speakers, which pulse jets of water inside plastic enclosures to the beat of your music, but thought they could be improved. What he came up with is a multi-tower setup that not only dances […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAutomated IC testing with Arduino Mega Arduino Team — February 5th, 2018 Arduino boards by themselves are, of course, great for making a wide array of projects. Sometimes, however, you’ll need to add other integrated circuits (ICs) for extra functionality. If you want to be absolutely sure that the IC you’re using in your project […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteCreate a custom Kerbal Space Program cockpit with Arduino Arduino Team — January 24th, 2018 When you play a video game, the controls are normally a compromise between what you have available (a keyboard/mouse) and the actions you’re trying to convey. This, however, wasn’t good enough for Kerbal Space Program enthusiast Hugo Peeters, who instead […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesCrawl through a 1D LED dungeon with TWANG! Arduino Team — January 24th, 2018 While video games have grown more and more complex over the last few decades, TWANG takes things in the opposite direction as an Arduino Mega-based 1D dungeon crawler consisting of an RGB LED strip. The player—a dot—is controlled via an accelerometer mounted to […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteMake an interactive coffee table with Arduino and LEDs Arduino Team — January 22nd, 2018 Rather than buying a coffee table, Marija from Creativity Hero decided to build her own, adding an array of 45 programmable LEDs on top of a pine base. An Arduino Mega is used to take input from 45 sensors corresponding to […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteCreate an Arduino Mega-powered, cable-cutting machine Arduino Team — January 12th, 2018 What do you do when faced with measuring and cutting a bunch of cables? If you’re Edward Carlson, you “simply” build a machine to do it for you! While it may not save time on this run, at least on the next occasion […]
