TOUCHSYNTH – A HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PROJECT
– December 19th, 2013
Steve Mostovoy and his partner Tim Boy Jr, worked for over 9 months to create a TouchSynth and share all the documentation about it.
It was hard but they learnt a lot about how not to organize code, how to think in terms of data, and how many amazing things you can do on a 16MHz processor:
This project uses an Arduino Mega, a resistive touchpad, and an 8×8 LED matrix to create a simple digital audio workstation and synthesizer. You can compose and play songs in real time and use different types of sounds. It was a nine month process between me and my partner during our senior year of high school to create this. The result is a really nifty Arduino project that showcases the flexibility of Arduino devices, and it sounds good as well!
Take a look at the video to see how it works:
PRIMO AND PLAYFUL PROGRAMMING: LAST 3 DAYS ON KICKSTARTER!
– December 18th, 2013
Here’s the latest updates from Primo’s team on their successful Kickstarter campaign. You have only 3 days left to pre-order your copy!
————–
27 days on from our Kickstarter campaign for Primo, in collaboration with theArduino at Heart program, we are pleased to announce that we have reached both our first funding goal at £ 35,000 and our first stretch goal at £ 40,000. This means that our little robot will evolve to allow makers to add sensors and actuators, amplifying greatly the Primo experience.
ARDUINO YÚN WITH SOUND THE SUPEREASY WAY
– December 17th, 2013
During Codemotion Milano Stefano had a talk with Federico Vanzati from Officine Arduino on how to use a supercheap USB Audio card with Arduino Yúnand test the full audio capabilities with zero effort, external libraries or mp3 shields.
After some days he came out with a quick tutorial that you can check out here (includes code!).
A PINWHEEL CALCULATOR EMULATED BY ARDUINO
– December 16th, 2013
The Odhner Arithmometer was a very popular pinwheel calculator invented in Russia in 19th century by a Swedish immigrant called W. T. Odhner. Like most of pinwheel calculators, it worked with an engine formed by a set of linked wheels which could perform the four basic mathematical operations within a machine of reduced size.
Diego Cueva worked on a diy emulator called Duimometer, made with Arduino UNO. See how it works in the video below and look at the sketch here.
OPEN INFORMANT, SURVEILLANCE IN THE OPEN
– December 13th, 2013
Back from Wearable Futures in London, I’d like to share a project seen at the Futures 10 exhibition during the last day of the event as it opens up some of the complexities of the issue around big data, surveillance and wearables.
“Open Informant” by Superflux attempts to confront the unsettling realties of surveillance in a networked age. It’s composed by an app, a digital fabricated wearable container of an e-ink badge and it’s powered by Arduino Pro Mini. The Open Informant App scans your data looking for triggered words, containing aselection of those usually searched by state security services, and broadcasts fragments of texts to the badge via bluetooth: Read the rest of this entry »
NEXT-GENERATION LIGHT PAINTING WITH NEOPIXELS AND ARDUINO
– December 12th, 2013
Adafruit’s just released a beautiful tutorial by phillip burgess combiningNeoPixel strips, with the Arduino Uno and a supporting cast of parts to achieve highly refined digital light painting! Read the rest of this entry »
CONCRETE BATCH PLANT USING ARDUINO AND LIFA IN BANGLADESH
– December 10th, 2013
Arduino user Geotechbd wrote us from Bangladesh to share his experience:
Our company here in Bangladesh owns a quite old concrete batch plant, which had full manual control requiring an operator to control 14+ switched and observe 3 mechanical scales (dial gauges). I was successful to upgrade this plant to an automated unit requiring minimal operator input using custom made Arduino Uno compatible board and LIFA. Wiring is still messy which I shall take care in the near future. Read the rest of this entry »
A DIY VIDEO GAME FOR THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
– December 9th, 2013
Last June, Kris Temmerman was featured on this blog with a painting machinemade with Arduino Due. Now he’s just sent us this cool project he made for his office window:
My house/office has a store window and I try to make use of it as much as possible. I had some projections etc. in there before, but now I wanted to make something interactive. We have a lot of loitering youth and many people passing by. To appeal to a wide audience, I thought it would be nice to make an old fashion arcade box like thing. Read the rest of this entry »
A STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL FOR INTEL GALILEO: GETTING STARTED WITH MAC OS X
– December 6th, 2013
Today we start the first of a series of monthly blogposts dedicated to Intel Galileo. Stefano Guglielmetti, who’s already blogged about the Arduino Yúnsome time ago, shared with us his tutorial about how to get started with the Arduino Certified board.
—————————————-
IMPORTANT: Connect your Intel Galileo to the 5V power supply before any other connection or you will damage the board.
During the Maker Faire Rome, I was lucky to get an Intel Galileo. But when I had to use it, it was suddenly clear that it’s not as straightforward as Arduino. I had to resort to desperate measures and do something that really only a very restricted class of noble people do, I had to read the manual. Read the rest of this entry »
ARDUINO STORE: YES, WE ARE OPEN!
– December 4th, 2013
We’re happy to announce we are now online with the new Arduino Store.
Last October we started a progressive change of our platform and yesterday we released an improvement of our online Store, offering better navigation experience and interface design, cheaper shipping fees in EU and a series of new products from different producers.
