Top 10 DIY Arduino Projects and HOW-TO Tutorials!
Arduino has been widely popular among hackers and DIY-addicts out there for modding/hacking things. For those of you just entering the Arduino world, here’s a bunch of great Arduino tutorials/projects that can help you jump-start your next project. 1) Did you know that you can program/flash your Arduino wirelessly? For those of you who are going to be making devices where the Arduino is hidden from easy access, read up on how you can program your Arduino wirelessly using Xigbee modules over at Lady Ada’s site. 2) Arduinome is a project the Monome for audio sequencers. Theses are minimalist input for any Arduino project so I think this is a great device to add-on to your project, even it’s not audio-related. 3) For energy eco-projects, you can refer to this great site on OpenEnergyMonitor, which uses Arduino and complete details are provided for making your own home energy monitor. 5) Need some resources on robots using Arduino? Also see RC lawnmower using Arduino and the solar lawnmower.

Welcome The Blog featuring best of DIY, HOW TO, Hacks, Gadgets, and Technology! I just Survived an Airplane Crash! I still remember very vividly. Recently I was headed from somewhere in Arizona to San Francisco on flight 824. Then suddenly, nearing our destination in San Francisco, the airplane started free-falling. Even worse, I could feel the plane’s nose slowly turning towards earth, which made me think that it’s impossible at this point for the airplane to correct itself.

Officially (or unofficially), RC helicopters are DEAD as we know it but quadrocopters are become ever more popular. The project uses Wii Motion Plus coupled with I2C communication to Arduino unit to make use of the gyroscopes inside and also save a bunch of money on the setup.

Home | OpenEnergyMonitor The World Famous Index of Arduino & Freeduino Knowledge Arduino Shield List Play yourself at Rock, Paper, Scissors with an open source training glove We've all been there... Those dark, dreary, lonely nights when you're up to date with your video games and you're out of books. You look at your last good friend, your ever-present ally that's seen you through thick and thin: your hand. Just one more time... I'll get a girlfriend soon, I promise... I'm talking, of course, about Rock-paper-scissors: the fairest of compromise, the inexorable justice of fates, THE ULTIMATE EQUALIZER. He simply slips on his glove and goes to work: 'Ick... ack... ock!' It's all a bit nerdy, but as you can see in the video after the break, well worth the effort.

arduino meets processing - PUSHBUTTON The Arduino meets Processing project intends to make it as easy as possible for anyone to explore the world of physical computing. All you need is an Arduino board as well as the Arduino and Processing software, which you can download on their project websites. On this website we explain how to: set up electronic circuits with various kinds of sensors, control and measure the sensors with the Arduino board, send the data to the computer, and use the received values to generate computer graphics with Processing. For all examples you need some basic electronic equipment such as a breadboard, resistors, the sensors, and some wires. The following sensors are dealt with on this website: All examples contain a list of the parts as well as the Arduino and Processing files you need. The Processing files have a DisplayItems class which paints a grid with values, a black or white background. Feel free to play around and have fun exploring the wonderful world of Arduino and Processing!
