It interacts with the outside word through sensors, leds, motors, speakers... even the internet; this makes it a flexible platform for lots of creative projects. Some popular uses include: - programmable light displays that respond to music or human interaction - robots that use information from sensors to navigate or perform other tasks - unique, customizable controllers and interfaces for music, gaming, and more - connecting real world objects to the internet (twitter is especially popular) - anything interactive - automating and prototyping There are tons of amazing Arduino Projects posted online, here are some of my favorites: Twitter Mood Light by RandomMatrix, a light that changes color depending on what kinds of emotional words are trending on Twitter Nebulophone Synth by Bleep Labs: Singing Plant by Mads Hobye: Polargraph Drawing Machine by Sandy Noble:

Easy Arduino: Two Projects To Help You Get Started

The computers we use every day are powerful, but they’re terrible at knowing what’s going on around them. Your laptop isn’t exactly equipped to sense light or moisture, for example. Arduino, on the other hand, is specifically designed to stay keyed in to the outside world. It’s equipped with a board full of inputs and outputs for sensors to simplify communication. The Arduino was developed by Massimo Banzi and his cofounders out of Ivrea, Italy, who named the device after his favorite bar. Regardless of which Arduino model you buy, the utility of the microcontroller comes out when you use it for “Internet Of Things” projects—whether you want to connect to the real world, the cloud, or both, Arduino makes it easy.

These days arduino projects are used for academic course fulfillment as well. In any case, Arduino is a very interesting platform to build real world projects. List of Arduino Projects Gas Leakage Detector with GSM Module for SMS Alert and Sound Alarm A very interesting arduino project using MQ5 gas sensor and GSM Module. Detect the presence of LPG or other types of gases like CH4, Butane etc with help of MQ5 gas sensor and Arduino. The program in this project also checks for shutdown process – that is – if the gas leak problem has been addressed and eliminated properly. 10 Simple Arduino Projects For Beginners with Code. Awesome!!

So, for a quick way to see how much juice your AAA, AA, C, or D batteries have left, build this Arduino-based battery tester, which can display battery life via a string of LEDs. Roll the Dice The next time you're playing Monopoly, take a technological steup up from rolling plastic cubes by making Boxall's Arduino electronic die, which chooses a random number between 1 and 6 and displays it via a corresponding LED.

20 Projects To Celebrate Arduino Day

While the Arduino UNO and older Duemilanove are two of the most common Arduino boards, the MEGA and the Yún should not be avoided. The MEGA is much like the UNO, however, it has an expanded number of input and output pins, and is often used to control 3D printers. The Yún is ideal for project where onboard wifi connectivity is a must. Don’t forget that shields –boards that plug directly into the Arduino’s header pins– are a fantastic, rapid way to add functionality to a project. Not only do shields provide a quick hardware solution, but almost every shield on the market has accompanying software libraries to leverage their unique, individual hardware features. We hope you enjoy the gallery of Arduino projects and make sure to tell us about your latest Arduino based project in the comments.

10 Awesome Arduino Projects ! - June 2014

I find this almost therapeutic to watch, perhaps it's a little OCPD in me but seeing an Arduino UnoArduino Uno control a machine which will sort out your sweeties by colour is great. This little video does well to demonstrate it working with the 3D printed parts, an RGB and an infra-red sensor doing the work in tune with the motors. Practical wise it's a little slow and you would be forgiven for asking "why would I do this? " but for a friends birthday present, a person who loves purple sour skittles, I manually made up a whole bag of them for him from many, many large bags and this would have made it so much easier!

Even though it's doing skittles and M&M I'm sure it could just as easily do smarties - and really this could be useful for maybe wedding favours or just if you have friends/children who particularly prefer a certain flavour or colour. You can even find a bill of materials and the 3D printed models along with instructions here.
