Arduino - HomePage
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators.
Exploring Natural Materials It's Natural Materials month here on Makezine. So far, we've looked at bone, rope, gemstone, flint napping, cuttlefish casting, and more. You can check out all of these themed posts on the Natural Materials archive page . I'm excited to see that Greg Borenstein has launched Makematics, a blog that covers his own exploration of advanced math topics that are found in new creative applications by and for makers.

With a personality all their own, Charlie Chaplain and Carmen Miranda Judy Castro doesn't have a background in engineering. But with Arduino, she doesn't need one to make her sculptures move, light up or breathe fire. The San Francisco artist uses the microcontroller and software program to create interactive works of art -- something she once might have paid an electrical engineer thousands of dollars to do. Arduino, the 6-year-old, user-friendly microcontroller, is emerging as a powerful, popular tool for artists and others in the Do-It-Yourself community. Arduino can be as small as your pinkie finger and can cost less than $30, but it can light up a few LEDs for the beginning programmer or, with the help of amplifiers and mechanical parts, turn on a hydraulic ram that will lift tons, ignite a flamethrower or create a light show that can illuminate a stadium.

Grande Yellow Cat Fixup It's a toy tiger. Printed on a makerbot replicator. I started with the grande yellow cat source, but ReplicatorG couldn't render it to gcode and print, so I used rhino to clean up the model and remove the grass base that's on the model but not in the original picture.
