For those who do not know, Arduino is an open-source, embedded prototyping platform. The single board microcontroller hardware with a bunch of sensors and embedded I/O controls. Hardware components contains an Atmel ATmega328 AVR microcontroller, a thermister, a crystal oscillator, etc, although it varies from board to board. It is an advanced RISC microcontroller with 32 x 8 registers and a 2-cycle multiplier. The Arduino programming language is an extension of C++ - easily learnable. The source code of... (more)

By JUSTIN LAHART The palm-sized Arduino serves as an electronic brain running everything from high schoolers' robots to high-end art installations. But perhaps the oddest thing about the device is the business model behind it. Plans for the Arduino, a simple microcontroller board, are available online, and anybody may legally use them to build and sell knockoffs. The Arduino represents an early entrant in the emerging open-source hardware movement, which like Linux and other open-source softwar... (more)

Geo-Location Game “Urban Defender” using Arduino By using an Arduino, GPS, and an accelerometer, this group put together the “Urban Defender” – A hyper-local geolocation based game which allows users to “claim” various districts of a city by throwing the ball against a wall to claim the territory.  The ball tells you whether you’re in friendly or enemy territory through it’s built in speakers and LEDs. The concept video below does a great job of demonstrating the project. The map above is how the u... (more)

Arduino Contest - Entry Deadline: Nov 15, 2009 Arduinos are awesome - with one simple controller, you can make almost anything! What new things can you make with Arduino? We've teamed up with the creative folks at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories and the Arduino Team on an Arduino contest to find out. The rules are simple: to enter you must make a new Instructable that involves the Arduino IDE. You can use any hardware that you like, or none at all. Be sure to provide the code you used so that other... (more)

Make: Online : Frequency counter library for Arduino

posted by http://jonnyboats.wordpress.com/http://jonnyboats.wordpress.com/ 225 days, 2 hours, 59 minutes ago
Wednesday, July 29, 2009 7:27:30 PM GMT
Here's a great example of what makes the Arduino platform so great. In need of a basic frequency counter on the quick, I dug up some code & schematics based on the ATTiny2313. But just before breaking out my programmer + protoboard, I thought to have a look Arduino.cc in case someone had written similar code for Arduino. Lo and behold - Martin Nawrath's Frequency Counter library was but a fe... (more)

Random Hacks Of Boredom/Genius: Motion Plus and Nunchuck together on the Arduino

posted by http://jonnyboats.wordpress.com/http://jonnyboats.wordpress.com/ 225 days, 3 hours, 1 minute ago
Wednesday, July 29, 2009 7:25:22 PM GMT
Alright, one great aspect about the Wii Motion Plus is its pass through port for other extension controllers such as the nunchuck. Unfortunately, no one has been able to read both an active motion plus and any other controller at the same time because they are all on the same I2C address(smooth nintendo). This is creates a large hurdle to people like myself who bought the WM+ to create a low cost IMU with it and the accelerometer in the nunchuck. After a good deal of digging and very lit... (more)

Make: Online : Arduino learns to speak!

Arduino learns to speak! Peter points out the release of the Cantarino speech synthesis library for Arduino - demoed above in an endearing rendition of "Daisy".An interrupt on the PWM output timer calls a sample generator. This uses a synthesis similar to FOF or granule synthesis - using two sines and a square wave of adjustable pitch and amplitude, synced and enveloped by a pitch of selectable frequency. Phase modulation is added to the pitch, to allow... (more)
