MozMo : the brilliant Arduino Mozzi synth in an Eurorack hardware
Jean-Luc Deladrière blogged about his MozMo build: Mozzi by Tim Barras is an outstanding library that allow the Arduino to produce complex and exiting sounds with almost no additional hardware. (In fact MozMo uses the hifi mode that requires … 2 resistors and a cap !) The idea was to build a dirty cheap modular synth exploiting […]
10×5 RGB LED Matrix with only 5 IO pins
Here’s an instructable on LED Matrix with custom code/software by Ole_L: This is the software which you need: -Arduino -Processing Flash the software to your Arduino and open the processing project with… Processing! Now you should change the line “String portName = “/dev/ttyACM~”;” to your Serial port, on WINDOWS “String portName = “COM~”;” Via the contact […]
GPS based car locator
A GPS based car locator by msuzuki777, an instructable here: The GPS continuously reads the latitude and longitude of the CarTracker. When the button is pressed, the coordinates are saved to the EEPROM. E.g., this would be the location of your car. Now, let’s say you walk out of a store and are looking for […]
Graphic equalizer display using ESP8266-12, MSGEQ7 and WS2812
Amir Avni made a graphic equalizer display using ESP8266-12, MSGEQ7 and WS2812: Finally, I’ve created a this project: An equalizer display controlled by ESP8266 with the NodeMCU firmware, where the equalizer colors are controlled via WiFi Project info at whatimadetoday site. Check out the video after the break.
Easy Pulse Plugin, an Arduino pulse sensor
Raj over at Embedded Lab has written an article detailing the new version of their Easy Pulse Sensor: the Easy Pulse Plugin, an Arduino and chipKIT compatible pulse sensor based on Photoplethysmography Today we are happy to announce the release of a new addition to our Easy Pulse Sensor series named Easy Pulse Plugin. Like its predecessors, the original Easy […]
Home Control 2015
Peter Scargill writes: If you’ve read my early blogs you’ll know I do a lot of work with a pal of mine, Aidan Ruff. We had an R&D company for years and one of our products was a home control system which was plastered all over the UK tech press at the time and loads […]
Teeny Tiny build using Bubble display and Femtoduino
Phillipe Cantin published a new build: I just received a bunch of those really cool QDSP-6064 Bubble Displays and I had to build something with them right away. I quickly tried it using the sample code and, as I was doing that, I immediately wanted to build a small device combining this display with a […]
Arduino-powered turntable plays moon phases
While this turntable can’t play “Dark Side of the Moon”, it certainly can tell you which way it’s facing! This project by Yingjie Bei and Yifan Hu uses an Arduino to position a turntable and associated light source in such a way that the moon replica mounted on the turntable will be illuminated to demonstrate […]
IoT Arduino vending machine
Kristian Lauszus writes, “In this blog post I will describe a IoT (Internet of Things) Vending Machine that I built quite some time ago with a friend of mine Sigurd Jervelund Hansen. At Sigurd’s dorm room they got hold of an old vending machine free of charge, as it did not work. We quickly decided that […]
ESP8266: Arduino compatible $5 MCU with WiFi
MAKE has posted Alasdair Allan’s three part series concerning the ESP8266 MCU. Alasdair highlights the capabilities and limitations of this chip, the installation and use of a supporting version of the Arduino IDE, and how to create a breadboard adapter for the ESP-01 breakout board (pictured above.) Via MAKE.
Introducing ESPToy 1.2 (with Lua Firmware)
Ray Wang from RaysHobby has written an article on his ESPToy 1.2, a ESP8266 development board based on the Lua firmware: A little while back I released the very first version of ESPToy — a ESP8266 Development Board with a few useful on-board components like color LED, button, and temperature sensor. It has a built-in […]
Arduino based high-altitude balloon tracker
Ugifer wrote this instructable detailing the build of his Arduino based high-altitude balloon tracker: The tracker is based upon the Atmel ATMeag328 Microcontroller which forms the heart of many of the popular “Arduino” boards. We are going to make an “Arduino Compatible” board which we can program using the Arduino IDE. Because the GPS module and […]
Arduino IDE released for ESP8266
Richard over at ESP8266 CommunityForum writes, “I have setup a new section for ESP8266 Arduino as IGRR and myself have successfully ported the Arduino IDE over to the ESP8266 and have it all working very nicely now. ESP8266 Arduino and the code is on github, we have also set up a compilation server and executables will also […]
Arduino compatible LightBlue Bean adds Node-RED support
Arduino-assisted automatic 3D printed tea maker
If the earlier Arduino projects weren’t your cup of tea, try out this Automatic 3D Printed Tea Brewer. 24 Hour Engineer Brian McEvoy designed this project which uses the Arduino to control a servo which dunks the tea bag for a predetermined length of time for perfect brew control. The LCD readout provides information about […]
Arduino Day open source project roundup
It’s Arduino Day and Alex Sanchez at opensource.com, has posted a roundup of Arduino activities and projects for all skill levels from beginner to advanced. You can open your door, make a pot of coffee and catch Pokemon’s all with Arduino! Check it out at opensource.com.
AD9850 DDS VFO
Richard Visokey of AD7C made a DDS VFO using AD9850 and an Arduino Uno: I built a simple VFO for a direct conversion receiver I am putting together. The VFO uses an AD9850 DDS chip to synthesis a nice 1Vp-p sinusoidal wave. I used an Arduino Uno to set the AD9850 frequency, drive an LCD display, […]
KeySweeper – covert Microsoft wireless keyboard sniffer using Arduino and nRF24L01+
Samy Kamkar has written an article detailing the build of his KeySweeper project: KeySweeper is a stealthy Arduino-based device, camouflaged as a functioning USB wall charger, that wirelessly and passively sniffs, decrypts, logs and reports back (over GSM) all keystrokes from any Microsoft wireless keyboard in the vicinity. All keystrokes are logged online and locally. SMS alerts […]
