“The accelerometer om the watch controls the vehicle. Tilt the watch forward and the robot moves forward. Tilt the watch to the side, and the robot turns. The left top and bottom buttons control the grabber.”

“Walleye is an interactive light installation which engages users in temporal gestural and bodily play. It generates temporal light propagation patterns, or a large scale very low resolution pixilated image (depending on how you look at it) based on the realtime movement of visitors in the space.”

“The goal of this experiment is to convert the Arduino board into an USB keyboard plus a VGA sniffer to crack the password of a standard BIOS using the brute force attack method. There are no advantages in using this method, in fact this can be very slow and you may never find the password at all, but as always we do it for fun.”

“I’m researching squeeze sensing as a mode of tactile interface. Here I will cover the process of developing a squeezeable sensor and the firmware/software concerns associated with interpreting the data from the sensor.”

“The first decision you have to make is which Arduino compatible microcontroller you are going to base your circuit around. This will depend on the number of input/output pins you need as well as the size of the compiled sketch you intend to use. Given that I’m prototyping my ideas using an Arduino UNO, I decided to stick with the ATmega328P-PU chip the UNO is based around.”

“In this post I’m going to first alter a robot arm I had built previously from a beginners kit so that it can be controlled from Arduino. Then I’m going to write a series of posts on different ways to control the robot arm using Processing and other things.”

“I wanted a playable game to show the possibilities of the Arduino plattform in workshops. Since I already have a S65-Shield built in a box with two joysticks, I wanted to use that MirrorBot hardware for presentation.”

“After the untimely death of my Mac Mini (the last thing that I’ll ever buy from Apple), I recycled it into a clock display using LEDs. Technically, there’s no rocket science involved: an Arduino uses an external clock and displays a matrix of 8×6 colored LEDs for hours, minutes and seconds. A last line of LEDs acts like a pendulum.”

“I will show you how I made the cube on the Flower protoboard, and finally the code to make it shine. You will see the point-to-point wiring is very clear.”

Very similar to our own "Building An 8x8x8 LED Cube" project.

“The Shrimp circuit is an Arduino Uno substitute with a component cost of around one tenth the price of official Arduino boards. You can hand-make the circuit on breadboard or stripboard, learning about the components as you go, and remix the circuit freely for your needs.”
