ARDUINO PERCUSSION CAR
– December 13th, 2012
The user [selcukartut] sent us a project full integrated with Arduino boards. Filika (Istanbul) designed and produced an Interactive Percussion Playing Car for Volkswagen’s breathtaking pickup Amarok. Several sensors were implemented on the board, so that the participants were able to trigger percussion sounds via tapping their hands on the car.
Technically speaking, there were two types of sensors to gather user interaction data. Force Resistive Sensors were placed on the front panel and piezzo sensors were placed on the sides of the car’s body. Received user interaction was mapped onto a code via customized Arduino Board. Arduino code was commuicating with a sound patch that was built in MaxMSP/Jitter, and finally delivered into Ableton Live as Midi Data. In sum when a person taps onto a sensor that hides under the car’s surface, that interaction was turning into a percussion sound. There were tons of cables, sawing, soldering, coding and etc…
On the [website] there are some videos that show the project in action. Unfortunately all the text are in Turkish, we hope for an English, more international, version.
ARDUION SPLIT FLAP GAME
– December 12th, 2012
When Arduino meets traditions, here the story of [the.anykey] and gift making.
We have a great Dutch tradition called sinterklaas (5th of december). For the older “non-believers” we make surprises. The purpose is to buy a small present but make a really cool “surprise” around it. Here my arduino based Split-flap game I made as surprise.
I made this for my 15-year old niece that was asking for very expensive presents only, so I thought I would make her a bit more price consciousThe arduino (uno) used to run this all was tested to its limit 15 I/O ports
- 5 pins for the score LEDs
- 4 pins for the stepper motor control, via ULN2003a
- 1 PWM pin for Servo to lock or unlock the side door
- 1 PWM pin for piezo speaker so we can make some sounds
- 1 pin for micro switch to align start of cards
- 2 pins for the lower and higher button
Anyway, the project is well structured and there is also a full[instructables] about it, we really enjoyed the submission.
ARDUINO BLUETOOTH CONTROLLER
– December 12th, 2012
Ok this is not a project 100% core Arduino, because it uses custom hardware and only the bootloader of Arduino. But Arduino follows the Open-Hardware philosophy, so we are honoured to share this project that use a bit of Arduino. [chris] , from silverball software, sent us his way to build a game controller , programmed with Arduino software.
Well after a few months of tinkering and several designs I finally have one.
The design is based around the Atmega 328 running the Arduino bootloader. There is a RN42-HID bluetooth module that allows serial communication between it and the microprocessor.I wanted the device to be fully hackable so I designed it with headers for both the bluetooth module and the Atmega 328 chip. I can reprogram the bluetooth module to run HID keyboard or mouse (or combined), it can iterate as a gamepad, or it can reconfigured to run serial protocol and iterate as a virtual com port.
On the [website] there is full description with lots of pictures, have a look.
AVR OS ON ARDUINO
– December 11th, 2012
What about an OS to run on your Arduino? Ok not in the way big os, remember Arduino has limited performance, but some of the basics, like spinlocks/multitask can be integrated with the AVR Os. As you know Arduino uses an AVR Compilant Processor, so its easy to port the code. The user [chris] sent us the way to do it, with also a simple sketch to print the classic “Hello World”.
avr-os is a library that provides a very basic rutime that enables your program to multitask.
The library uses pre-emptive multitasking to switch tasks and each task has its own stack that is restored when a task is resumed. An AVR timer is used to provide ticks and this interrupt is used to switch tasks.
All the instructions and the code to do it is stored at the [website]
YELLOW PLANE 2 WITH INVERTED V TAIL

DRAWING ARM WITH ARDUINO
– December 10th, 2012
Can you imagine to build a robotic arm that can draw? Actually [acorv] realized a good prototype.
I wanted to build a drawing arm that could write. My first version wasn’t good enough, so I built this one. I used timing belts and pulleys to improve the resolution. Stepper motors are driven by a Motor Shield on top of an Arduino UNO. On the tip, a servo motor allows the pen to go up and down. For input, I used a touch pad.
A more detailed description can be found on the [website].
MEET THE ARDUINO ESPLORA
– December 10th, 2012
Here’s a new piece of hardware from your beloved OSHW project. The Arduino Esplora is meant for newbies and anybody willing to enter in the world of Arduino, without having to deal with breadboards or soldering. Shaped like a game controller, it’s designed to be used out of the box without extra parts since it comes with many sensors and actuators already on it.
ARDUINO: CREATION IS CHILD’S PLAY [WIRED ITALIA]
– December 6th, 2012
Have a look at this wonderfully handcrafted 20-min webumentary about Arduino, made by Opificio Ciclope and produced by Wired Italia.
Nice format and nice look: good job.
The core of our story is the life of Massimo Banzi, and the region in which he was born: the Canavese area. In particular, the city of Ivrea, a veritable Mecca of Italian informatics, where Olivetti had its headquarters. The more we discovered their world, the more it became clear that this story was not only about silicon and circuits: it was about their shared excitement and their curiosity, like kids playing with their favorite toy.
(BTW, Massimo is not from Ivrea, but I guess Ivrea’s Mayor is going to give him and the Arduino Team the honorary citizenship)

YELLOW JET
– December 1st, 2012
[nickatredbox] has a passion in building planes. Here the details of another work:
Yellow Jet 758 Grams with remaining Coroplast 2 X 7.4 V 1300 mAh batteries Arduino Nano RX Xbee with antenna, servos and misc hardware. Chamfered the top on the leading edges. All control surfaces cut and hinged. ESC mountedElevator mechanism for EDF jet carbon rod and ballpoint pen ink reservoir seems quite stiff with low backlashSee the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z9wEU6c1F0&hd=1This plane flew pretty poorly unfortunately, but the controller worked well the EDF lacked thrust

ARDUINO ROBOTVISION FACETIME
– November 30th, 2012
[IgorAraujo] has pubblihed another interesting project about robot and Arduino. This time it involves a camera and a bluetooth module.
Appointed to be able to develop a robot communication activity and locomotion guided control with several purposes: conference distance, safety inspection and access to local human presence will unaviable. The intention is to promote environmental inspection, receiving and sending information (image and voice) as well as allow for the visualization of environment and the sensor signals to control the movement of the robot using the Arduino.
As usually, you can find more on his [website] , full post with videos and pictures, thanks for submit again!
