Shieldlist.org is searchable database containing information about more than 200 Arduino shields. Every shield has its own page with short description, link to its homepage, licensing and source information as well as very useful diagram of used pins. more features are planned in the future. If you submit new shield you can get a Freetronics […]

Arduino Brain Machine
You may be familiar with Mitch Altman’s Brain Machine. A really trippy device that’s easy to build and program if you have a spare Attiny2313 and ISP programmer. Here HackDev has ported the code over to the Arduino!
Arduino 22 now available
Just in time for Christmas, Arduino 22 is now available! This latest release includes an SD card library, character manipulation macros and lots of other fixes and improvements.
Internet Troll sniffing rat
Mike sent in his first Arduino project, an internet troll sniffing rat: Sometimes we like to take a few minutes away from Hackaday to spend time with our families. But just when you take your eyes off of the incoming comments, Trolls are bound to strike. Well, [Caleb] and I found a solution to the […]
Arduino controlling X10
Here’s a project including code developed by Geek Cowboy that combines Arduino, RFID and the X10 controller library for home automation purposes.
WiFi for Arduino with Asus WL-520gu
If you want to WiFi enable your Arduino but don’t want to spring for a shield, Todbot shows how to use the Asus WL-520gu router. By installing the DD-WRT Linux firmware the Asus acts as a serial-to-network gateway for Arduinos (or most any other USB device).
Arduino + MQ3 = alcohol breath tester
This the season for good cheer, and what can be more cheerful than a project that’s as much fun to use as it is to build? How about a homebrew alcohol breath tester? Daniel Andrade shows how to build just such a device using just an Arduino, MQ3 alcohol sensor and a handful of resistors […]
RFID Arduino punchclock
If your kids are RFID enabled, here’s a project to give you peace of mind: the Kid-e-log by tronixstuff. Using an Arduino, EEPROM, RFID reader, real time clock chip and LCD readout you can keep electronic tabs on the kids by having them clock in and out of the house with RFID cards. A comprehensive […]
Codebox: save Arduino sensor data to Google
Many are familiar with how to read data from Arduino into Processing. One such example varies the a PC’s onscreen graphics relative to the intensity of light on an LDR. Here MAKE presents a project which web enables Arduino sensor projects, allowing Processing data to be communicated and stored in a Google spreadsheet doc.
Arduino on an FPGA
Talk about going full circle! Gadget Factory has coded an Arduino core into a Spartan 3E on the FPGA ButterFly platform. This expands your prototyping opportunities, and provides beginners with a familiar FPGA core to build on. Via Embedds.com
USB Hacking with the Arduino
Here Collin’s Lab at Makezine explores the use of microcontrollers as USB host controllers. Very instructive and worth a look by anyone wanting to learn more about USB and its integration with microcontrollers. Via Makezine
Scratch4arduino
Scratch4arduino (S4A) is a graphical IDE based on Scratch from the MIT Media Lab. It’s designed to assist programming newbies in developing code for the Arduino board. With downloads for Windows, Mac and Linux (deb) this freeware program by Citilab currently works with the Duemilanove and Diecimila versions and includes modules for working with sensors, […]
Vinculum-II (VNC2) development platform
FTDI released a development board for the Vinculum-II (VNC2) inspired by the Arduino. The Vinculo has an Arduino shield pinout, with an extra row of 10 pins on the digital side. The Vinculo is a dual channel USB Host/Device Controller is targeted at rapid development and prototyping of USB Host/Device interfaces. Vinculo…can be programmed using […]
Arduino/Processing based sonar
LuckyLarry has developed a sonar system based on the Arduino and an SRF-05 ultrasonic range finder. A servo sweeps the range finder across the target field, with the pingbacks processed and displayed on the desktop with Processing. Via Hackolog.
Arduino realtime audio spectrum analyzer
Paul Bishop has posted source code and the schematic for an audio spectrum analyzer based on the Atmega328/Arduino. The design takes input from a simple electret microphone, amplifies it through a transistor fed into the Arduino’s ADC input pin. The Arduino outputs video of a 64 band audio spectrum analyzer through two external resistors which […]
GNUduino: Arduino in gEDA
Following from the Arduino Shield in gEDA last week, Jeffery sent a full Arduino in gEDA. Meet the GNUduino: I have designed an Arduino using gEDA (GNUduino). All the files, making etc are available in the above page. Via the contact form.
Open source Arduino shield outline in gEDA
Eric writes: I’ve released an Arduino shield board outline in gEDA format under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license. These files can be used as a starting place for creating Arduino shield boards. Video overlay shield shown. Don’t forget there is also an Arduino shield outline in the Dangerous Prototypes Eagle parts library (CC-0). […]
New family of Arduino boards
A new Arduino UNO development board is available. The name has changed, but it still fits standard Arduino shields. The FT232R USB chip (also used in the Bus Pirate) has been replaced by an extra AVR that provides USB->serial emulation with the open source LUFA USB stack. This news has been pretty unavoidable. UNO boards […]
Preview: Inexpensive multi-chip programmer
This is a preview of an inexpensive, medium-speed AVR/PIC/CPLD/Arduino programmer. It’s designed for people who don’t own a programmer and just want to rescue a bricked PIC or AVR. The programmer uses the bitbang mode of a FT232R FTDI USB->serial converter chip. The same one used on the Bus Pirate and Arduino. There’s existing apps […]
Arduino logic analyzer
Merve is working on an Arduino-driven logic analyzer design in the Arduino Forum. It uses logic chips to drive SRAM memory during acquisition, the Arduino then dumps samples from the SRAM via a shift register. We’re really interested in the result of this design. We once attempted a logic chip-based analyzer, but the design got […]
