LAST 2 DAYS FOR #CALL4MAKERS – BRING YOUR PROJECT NEXT OCTOBER IN ROME
– June 13, 2014
fo
The MakerFaire Rome Call for Makers runs until June the 15th, so you should be quick as we are only a couple of days away from final deadline!
If you’ve got an awesome project you want to show off to thousands of people in the capital of Italy, this is your moment.
The Call for Makers originally was due to close on the 25th of May, but we knew you needed some extra time to finalise your project, and we’ve extended it to next Sunday, June the 15ht, 2014 at midnight (CEST) and this is the final last call.

You can submit your project right now on this page and let us know it via Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using the hashtags #Call4Makers and #MFR14.
AN ORIGAMI NIGHT LIGHT
– June 12, 2014
Trent Brook is a designer based in Sydney who created an elefant-shaped night lamp for his daughter Harpa (1 and a half years old). It has evolved from a small paper origami elephant with blinking LEDs, to a large 3-d printed elephant lamp shade with Wifi controlled RGB LEDs, microphone, speaker, and a custom designed iPad application to teach her about colour: Read the rest of this entry »

A GARMENT TRANSPORTER MADE WITH ARDUINO ROBOT
– June 10, 2014
Last March RS Components, in collaboration with RobotChallenge, launched theHack the Arduino Robot competition.
Jacob Glueck submitted a great hack for the Arduino Robot:
“A couple of years ago, I built an Arduino-powered shirt-folding machine which folds clothes. Using the Arduino robot from the RobotChallenge, I will build a device to remove folded clothes from the machine and to stack them. My idea is special because it will involve two Arduinos (the Arduino Uno in the shirt folder, and the Arduino Robot) which will have to communicate, and because it will be very useful. The robot will solve the real life problem of laundry folding by making the task easier and faster and by doing so nicely; the robot will use a custom-designed gripper to transport garments while keeping them perfectly folded.”
On his blog you can look at the pictures of the construction phase , and below watch the video of the final project:
A SPEED SUIT ACTIVATED WITH MOTION #ARDUINOMICROMONDAY
– June 9, 2014
Instructables user Beaconsfield posted a great project of a suit controlled by Arduino Micro, lighting up EL wires when the wearer starts to walk and lights them up completely when the wearer runs or dances:
Most of the time EL wire is used as is, with manual on/off control. However, I wanted to control it with an Arduino, so it would react to results from a sensor. This motion-activated suit flashes when the wearer starts to walk and lights up completely when the wearer runs. Perfect for those late-night runs! (or dance parties – it lights up when the wearer moves, and this includes dancing) Read the rest of this entry »
DIY RUSSIAN FOLK BOT PLAYING FROM EEG
– June 6, 2014
“Turbo-gusli” or “Gusli-samogudy” is a russian folk bot made by Moscow media-artist, musician and engineer of strange-sounding mechanisms – Dmitry Morozov. It’s basically a portable electro-acoustic orchestra inspired by “Gusli-samogudy”, a self-playing gusli, the oldest Russian multi-string plucked instrument, and very common in old russian fairy tales.
The system works in 3 different modes: when it plays algorithmically from Pure Data patch, when it’s controlled by Emotiv EPOC EEG interface and in MIDI mode (all of them using Pduino library and custom patch in Pure Data). Read the rest of this entry »
A REST API FOR ARDUINO AND THE CC3000 WIFI CHIP
– June 5, 2014
Marco Schwartz is an electrical engineer and passionate about home automation. He wrote us some weeks ago to present his work on the Arduino Yún:
I was recently playing with the Arduino Yún for a whole set of new projects, and I discovered a sketch that implements a REST API for the Arduino Yún. We’ll see in more details what a REST API is, but for now let’s say it allows to standardise the communication between your Arduino and the external world via WiFi or Ethernet, and develop complex applications without having to modify your Arduino sketch every time.

WOOD AND ELECTRONICS IN A KINETIC STEAMPUNK-FLAVORED SCULPTURE
– June 4, 2014
Orbis is a kinetic & lighting lasercut sculpture controlled by Arduino Mega and created by an engineering design service located in Long Island NY which submitted it to our blog:
Orbis has several unique features and modes of operation not usually seen in Kinetic Art work. There are six specialized lighting modes and two motion modes which are all controlled via two independent Arduino Atmega 2560 control boards.
Orbis was created for a client’s new home who wanted something truly unique. The client specifically requested something which blends the classic look of wood with electronics and mechanics in a simple artistic manner. Read the rest of this entry »
CONTROLLING LIGHTS AND SENSORS WITH ARDUINO YÚN, NODE JS SERVER AND FIRMATA
– June 3, 2014
Arduino user DavidMJBos sent us a project using Node js server on the Arduino Yún to control the lights, heating and some other sensors in the office of Appsaloon, the company where he’s doing an internship.
They already use Node.js for a lot of things and some of them are pretty cool with it.
That’s how they did it:
That’s how they did it:
First of all you need to expand your flash, because there is not enough flash (16 MB) on the Arduino Yún. Sounds reasonable right? Not when you got the Yún for the first time in your hands. Luckily someone wrote this tutorial.To start with you need to be on the same network to reach the Arduino :-).
Open your terminalssh root@arduino.localIt will ask for a password, which will by default be: ‘arduino’:Now you can install Node.js on the Yún type : Read the rest of this entry »
THE POWER OF BLE GOES ARDUINO AT HEART WITH BLEND MICRO FOR YOUR IOT PROJECTS
– May 30, 2014
This week we are delighted to announce a new Arduino At Heart Partnertargeted for makers to develop low power Internet-Of-Things (IoT) projects quickly and easily: Blend Micro.
Blend Micro, by RedBearLab is an integrated developement board “blend”ing Arduino with Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (aka BLE or Bluetooth Smart) into a single board.
In the following videos, you can see how easy it is to use Blend Micro with the companion Apps for both iOS and Android. See how to control digital output, PWM and Servo, obtain readings from digital or analog inputs.
On their website you can find some sample codes on how to write your own Apps too. They soon will provide a boot loader update which allow the Blend Micro to be programmed over-the-air from Bluetooth Smart Ready portable devices and PCs, no USB wire is required for uploading the sketch.
