Michail likes to experiment with overclocking processors using liquid Nitrogen. He also like experimenting with MCU dev boards like the Arduino, which led to the question how far can you go overclocking this little Atmel chip? Why, you might ask. “Because I can. To learn how electronics behave at cryogenic temperatures. And just curios how […]

Quality audio on Teensy3 with Arduino
Paul over at Dorkbotpdx writes: Over the last couple weeks I’ve been working on supporting quality audio (44.1 kHz, 16 bit) on Teensy3 using very simple Arduino style programming. This weekend I added buttons and knobs to control parameters…. This work is still at an early stage. I hope to publish a first alpha test […]
CxemCAR 2 – Android controlled RC car with video, Bluetooth, WiFi
Johnik has developed the CxemCAR2 project for controlling an RC car using WiFi and Bluetooth. “On the Internet there are many articles on the use of RC cars with IP or Web-based camera. But most of them used a laptop or an internal router with Open-WRT or DD-WRT firmware. Viewing of the video and control […]
AmbientMonitor Arduino Javascript dashboard project
Luca Dentella posted an example on his blog about creating a full-working dashboard for Arduino (charts and gauges) in Javascript, running entirely in a web browser without the need for a webserver.without the needing of a webserver it runs entirely in a web browser. In this implementation, Luca uses the Arduino connected to an AM2302 […]
Open source DIY cellphone
Here is a DIY cellphone based on the Arduino platform and the GSM shield. It features basic functionality of a cellphone including making calls, sending SMS, storing phone numbers and displaying the current time. The DIY Cellphone is a working (albeit basic) cellphone that you can make yourself. It can make and receive phone calls […]
Arduino retro gamebox
Based on the Arduino Uno R3, five switches, three resistors, and a couple of casino trực tuyến RCA sockets this vintage video gamebox can run versions of old school favorites including Asteroids, Sudoku, Parachute and Space Invaders. The project was developed by Darren Yates at APCMag, and he estimates its total cost at around $33. […]
Arduino and the XOBXOB IoT Platform
John Boxall of Tronixstuff has posted on the XOBXOB Internet of Things Platform. “The purpose of this article is to demonstrate a new platform – XOBXOB (pronounced “zob-zob”) that gives users (and Arduino users in particular) a method of having remote devices connect with each other and be controlled over the Internet. At the time […]
BareDuino micro
Niek designed this BareDuino micro, that is available at github: For some Arduino projects, you don’t actually need that many IO pins. That’s exactly the case when I tried to build a simple RGB throwie that would cycle through colours. I was looking for a cheaper alternative to the Arduino UNO’s ATmega328P when I stumbled […]
Arduino robot
The Arduino crew introduces the Arduino Robot. “The Arduino Robot is the first official Arduino on wheels. The robot has two processors, one on each of its two boards. The Motor Board controls the motors, and the Control Board reads sensors and decides how to operate. Each of the boards is a full Arduino board […]
Parallel virtual stack machine firmware for Arduino
Nakul Rao has been working on a virtual machine for the Arduino. He notes, ‘Why a virtual machine? Firstly, I had a lot of time. Secondly, because it can be done. Also, it is fascinating to me that a device can keep its actual hardware hidden and project an entirely different hardware to the user. […]
Video: Massimo Banzi’s Arduino tutorial series
Arduino co-creator Massimo Banzi has produced a series of video tutorials covering all aspects of the Arduino platform and IDE. These videos were produced in cooperation with RS Components and feature their Arduino Starter Kit (though any compatible Arduino board should work as well.) The introductory video appears above, with the remainder available on their […]
MEEPROMMER: (E)EPROM programmer based on Arduino hardware
mkeller0815 built his own programmer – the MEEPROMMER, that is available at github: The idea behind this EEPROM programmer was to have a tool to get data on a 28Cxxx EEPROM for my own 6502-based computer. There are a lot of professional programmers you can buy, but for a lot of money. Using cheap and […]
Ford Mustang haptic feedback shift knob using OpenXC
The Haptic Feedback Shift Knob is a replacement for a manual transmission shift knob that adds haptic and visual feedback to help drivers shift appropriately. An Android application monitors the vehicle’s speed, RPM and accelerator pedal position. Based on this information, the application calculates and then indicates to the driver when he or she should […]
Android phone used as Arduino GSM shield
Kerimil has made a new video on how to interface arduino boards with Android devices using MIT app inventor and Bluetooth. This time it focuses on using the phone as a GSM shield. “I used texting functionality which let’s you use GSM on the phone to send and receive text messages. So if you ever […]
Arduino video game
Nakul developed this simple video game based on an Arduino 2560, 2×16 LCD and related button switches. It’s a mini variation of a spaceship/missile game that makes use of interrupts to handle the pushbutton presses. Fun stuff! For project details, source code and photos visit Nakul Rao’s blog. Via the contact form.
An Open Source, hackable Digital Clock
Here’s a cool DOTKLOK by Andrew O’Malley, an open source Arduino-based clock that displays a series of unique time-telling animations: A fanstastic Open Source Arduino-based clock that can display the time in many different ways: if not enough, one can also add his own personal animation. Via Open Electronics.
Arduino MP3 alarm clock
Bajdi built an Arduino MP3 alarm clock and wrote a detailed explanation on his blog describing the build: The idea is simple, an LCD that shows the date and time. A couple of buttons to set an alarm, and an MP3 module and small speaker to play an MP3 when the alarm goes of.
Arduino quadcopter iPhone control
Arduino quadcopter iPhone control: This Arduino Quadcopter by Kyle Fieldus has iPhone Control, similar to the AR Drone you can tilt the phone to control the quadcopter. Touch OSC is being used to design the phone interface, there is also an Android version available. The system chain is a bit complex since the phone is […]
Flight Simulator X – Arduino-driven autopilot controller
The Microsoft Flight Simulator X is a popular (though not open source) program used by many aeronautical enthusiasts and gamers. (There’s even a free trial version.) One aspect of the simulator is to allow the user to enter an autopilot mode, whereby various modes can be controlled using a 3D point-and-click interface. Practical use of […]
Use the TP-Link TL-WR703N to send Arduino sensor data
Recently we highlighted the TP-Link TL-WR703N in a post. Some makers have used a WiFi shield to allow an Arduino to communicate with this router, and others have used the router’s PCB as a shield bridging Ethernet to Wifi. Martin wanted to interface an Arduino with the router directly, so that it could be used […]
