HOW TO TURN A PENCIL DRAWING INTO A CAPACITATIVE SENSOR FOR ARDUINO
– May 30th, 2012
Nice tutorial about how to make pencil drawings reactive to touch using just pencil, some resistors, paperclips, wire, Arduino and tape.
JOURNALISM #2 TYPEWRITER: GENERATIVE STORIES ABOUT KILLED JOURNALISTS
– May 30th, 2012
“On Journalism #2 Typewriter” is a typewriter installation of Julian Koschwitz, which purpouse is to remember journalists who got killed in the past 20 years. The installation writes generative stories about all journalist who have been killed worldwide between 1992 and today based on the existing data on their life as well as their published work. The individual stories are connected through common fields of coverage, places, professions and the story is written endlessly on one endless piece of paper.Besides the text the typewriter creates flags which are distorted the more journalists got killed in that particular country.The installation makes use of Arduino Nano, Arduino and Processing software, 32 solenoids and shift-registers.

PROGRAMMING YOUR ARDUINO WITH NO PHYSICAL CONTACT?
– May 29th, 2012
This IR based Arduino programmer works from Arduino IDE using ATK500V2 protocol.
Construction details:
Construction details:
For infrared link it uses standard 38kHz modulation – as as in TV remotes. One part of the circuit utilizes FT232RQ module that talks to Arduino IDE. It has a also a circuitry that enables sending and receiving IR signals using IR LED and IR demodulator. Arduino part has also an IR transceiver pair connected to RXD and TXD pins. Arduino bootloader was a bit modified to work as half duplex so the receiver were turned off while transmitting. The only problem remaining is that target board has to be reset manually.
Any hackers in the house to repair that?

DIY CUSTOM RUGGED ARDUINO
– May 29th, 2012
In this instructable, Dustin Andrews shows how to make a custom Arduino board, equipped with a lcd, a buzzer and a solid enclosure. Dustin’s goal has been to design a rugged Arduino version, that can be employed “as is” in many practical project, in place of a less solid breadboard-based solution.

ARDUINO GETS 3G CONNECTIVITY
– May 29th, 2012
Libelium, with its open source hardware division of Cooking Hacks has come out with a new 3G module for arduino.
The new 3G shield for Arduino enables connectivity to high speed WCDMA and HSPA cellular networks allowing transfers up to 7.2Mbps (20 times faster than with GPRS technology). The module also counts with an internal GPS that enables the location of any Arduino both outdoors and indoors, combining standard positioning data from satellites with mobile cell triangulation in the assisted mobile mode (A-GPS).The new Arduino 3G module also includes a small camera for video recording in high resolution and a complete audio interface that enables Arduino to run with all the functionalities of a smartphone device.
And just to remind our readers about cooking hacks? They were the people who created the XBee shield for arduino.
Further information regarding this new 3G/GPRS module can be found here.
REF: ARDUINO BASED WEARABLE PET
– May 29th, 2012
Ref is a wearable pet made by Jens Dyvik. Its goal is to assist you in improving your emotional skills by mirroring your state of excitement through its behaviour. By sensing your heartbeat, Ref will respond through non-verbal communication. For example, if Ref detects that you are stressed, it will raise its head and tail, otherwise, when you get relaxed Ref will curl up its tail and lower its head. The system is controlled by six servomotors and an Arduino.

MUSIC + FLOPPY = MOPPY
– May 29th, 2012
Moppy is a musical floppy controller program. By using an Arduino UNO as a translator, you can command an array of floppy drives with a musical keyboard. The head on each floppy drive is controlled by a stepper motor which will put out sounds when driven at the right frequency.
Here is a link to the Moppy project page.
Enjoy your musical floppy drives!

HANDY ARDUINO UNO R3 PINOUT DIAGRAM
– May 29th, 2012
The original post from Nick Gammon is old, but I’m pretty sure can still be useful.
Check out this handy Arduino R3 pinout diagram and write up from Nick Gammon. He hits a lot of the important points here, and in addition he explains the limits of all the pins and interfaces in the rest of the post. It’s nice to have all this info collected into a single place.
