How-To: Shrinkify Your Arduino Projects

by MAKE 404,985 views

If you have a simple Arduino project that uses only a few pins, you might be able to shrink it down to a single 8-pin ATtiny chip. In this video, Matt Richardson shows you how, based on a tutorial from MIT Media Lab's High-Low Tech Group. The best part is you can use the same Arduino code and development environment that you're already used to.

More information about this how-to is available at: http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2011/10/how-to-shrinkify-your-arduino-projects.html

Enough Already: Silencing Celebs with Arduino

by MAKE 272,639 views

Matt demonstrates how he uses an Arduino to make a celebrity-silencing remote control for your TV. By decoding the closed captioning track in the video signal, the Arduino is able to look for keywords such as "PALIN" or "KARDASHIAN" and mute your TV, protecting your poor ears from having to hear about them ever again.

MAKE Volume 25: Arduino

by MAKE 59,381 views

Give your gadgets a brain! Previously out of reach for the do-it-yourselfer, the tiny computers called microcontrollers are now so cheap and easy to use that anyone can make their stuff smart. It's called "physical computing" -- with a microcontroller, your gadget can sense the environment, talk to the internet or other gadgets, and make things happen in the real world by controlling motors, lights, or any electronic device. The Arduino is an easy-to-use microcontroller board -- it's like an R&D lab on your kitchen table for prototyping any gadget. We show you how to make one, and how to use Arduinos and other microcontrollers to make an automatic yogurt maker, a vintage Skype telephone, a gumball machine that recognizes your secret knock, and more. Plus, make a Helicopter Rocket, portable solar power pack, gourmet Sous Vide food cooker, treadmill desk, and more fun DIY projects.

Industrial Sound Controllers

by MAKE 61,669 views

Tristan Shone rolled out the 'big guns' for Maker Faire Bay Area 2010. His Industrial Sound Controllers are a musical force to be reckoned with and their sheer size and weight demand considerable attention upon seeing them firsthand.

Tristan took a few moments out from setting up to speak with Becky Stern before performing, and explained some of the functionality of his very custom gear. For more on his unique brand of 'heavy metal', be sure to check out the interview in MAKE, Volume 22 and the how-to on building your own 8-mic MIDI controller -

Collin's Lab: Infrared heart sensor

by MAKE 123,762 views

The beating of the heart is often recorded via sound or simply with touch - but there's also another interesting and somewhat lesser known option - light. An infrared emitter/detector pair can be used along with a programmable microcontroller, to effectively visualize the effects of the human body's hardest-working muscle.

Read more at makezine.com

This is the second installment of a series about programming our favorite little micro-controller, the Arduino. Last week I covered connecting and blinking an LED. This week I will discuss connecting a push button that controls the LED. This is the simplest way to use a button. However, it isn't always the best way since it doesn't account for 'debouncing'. In the next installment of this series I will talk more about 'debouncing' the button input and why it is important. Also, I will have a fun and easy project that incorporates what we have learned so far in this series.

Well, Charlieplexing allows you to control each LED's state individually. All you need to do is create a simple program and upload it to the Arduino and you have a really cool animated LED display.

This week I am going to show you how to hack a MAKE gift subscription card. Actually, it's showing you how to interface a 7-segment display with an Arduino. I just happened to make it into a gift card subscription.

My idea was to give a MAKE subscription to a friend. Actually, I am giving them an Arduino along with the subscription. What a great combination! As a final part of the gift, I am making a post on how to program the 7-segment display to help them get started.

Twitchie Scorpion

by MAKE 45,443 views

I made this scorpion toy with a Twitchie Robot Kit. I'm really afraid of scorpions where I live in Arizona, so I thought a friendly toy would help me get used to them. I made his plush body from some fabric I had around, aiming to make him look like an Arizona bark scorpion, which are tan/yellowish/translucent. Twitchie is Arduino powered and comes pre-programmed, so it's an excellent kit for beginners in robotics, because no programming is required! You can download and modify the code if you want, and it's pretty light on the soldering, too. I'd recommend Twitchie for young makers (boys & girls, too!) interested in robotics or moving plush toys. You can buy the Twitchie Robot Kit in the Maker Shed:
