Touch Board
Buy Capacitive touch, distance sensing, MP3, MIDI & more on the Arduino-compatible Touch Board The Touch Board is a powerful prototyping tool which combines Arduino compatibility with robust capacitive touch, distance sensing, an MP3 Player, MIDI functionality and a LiPo battery charger. The Touch Board is perfect for any designer, engineer, artist, student or educator. Listen to the Touch Board’s pre-loaded audio guide to get you started right out of the box. No programming needed. Create 12 touch or proximity sensors using Electric Paint or any other conductive material. The Touch Board is part of the Arduino at Heart program which means you can program it and use it just like any Arduino. Not sure where to get started? Getting started is easy The Touch Board comes pre-programmed with an audio guide that takes you through basic features and highlights of the board.

ParallelProgrammer Instructions for building a parallel port programmer for the Arduino board (or any other Atmega8 chip). Allows you to program the board on Windows without any additional equipment. Cheap and fun. Rear view of connector. Equipment Tools: Soldering iron Hot glue gun (optional) You'll need (parts): (2x) 470 ohm resistor (yellow-purple-brown) (1x) 220 ohm resistor (red-red-brown) (1x) parallel port cable or parallel-to-serial adapter (2x) three wire cables with female connectors on one end, unattached wires on the other Instructions Remove any existing wires from the parallel connector. Solder 470 ohm resistors to pins 1 and 2 of the parallel connector. Parallel connector with a 470 ohm resistor soldered to pin 1. Solder a 220 ohm resistor to pin 11 of the connector. Parallel connector with two of the three wires of a cable soldered to pins 11 and 1, respectively. Parallel connector with both cables soldered in place. Once the glue dries, reclose the case of the parallel-to-serial adapter. Software

Boost Arduino Mega Capability with 512-KB SRAM & True Parallel Bus Expansion | Circuit Cellar The Arduino MEGA-2560 is a versatile microcontroller board, but it has only 8 KB SRAM. SCIDYNE recently developed the XMEM+ to enhance a standard MEGA in two ways. It increases SRAM up to 512 KB and provides True Parallel Bus Expansion. The XMEM+ plugs on top using the standard Arduino R3 stack-through connector pattern. This enables you to build systems around multiple Arduino shields. Once enabled in software, the XMEM+ becomes an integral part of the accessible MEGA memory. The XMEM+ also provides a fixed 23K Expansion Bus for connecting custom parallel type circuitry.

Getting Started with the Touch Board – Bare Conductive This tutorial is a step-by-step introduction to your Touch Board. It will take you through powering it up and changing the sounds on your micro SD card, all the way to using our stencil and Electric Paint to create a series of graphical touch sensors on paper! This is the most basic introduction to the Touch Board and is a great place to start if you’re a beginner, or if you want to get acquainted with the board. We will show you how to use the Touch Board’s electrodes as touch sensors with no programming required. We’ll also show you a few different ways you can use Electric Paint to create interactive graphics. We’ll be posting more tutorials showing how to use your Touch Board in lots of other cool projects, from making proximity sensors, to MIDI devices, and light switches, so make sure to come back for more, or click on the Suggested Tutorials tab above for more interesting projects. Make sure you have a micro USB cable and a micro SD card adapter before you begin!

How To Shrink Your Projects For Arduino | Device Plus Ever since I started making projects for Arduino, I’ve had a desire to shrink them down to a single, small circuit board. One of my former projects, a Smart bike lighting was made on Arduino UNO, which limits the project’s success in terms of optimal size. For that purpose, I will introduce multiple ways to shrink your overall project by using different micro-controllers that run on the same Arduino language. Alternative Microcontrollers Arduino Nano The Arduino Nano is a small, complete, and breadboard-friendly board based on the ATmega328 (Arduino Nano 3.x) or ATmega168 (Arduino Nano 2.x). Remember to change the board in your Arduino software (IDE) Figure 2 : Setting the board on Arduino IDE Arduino Pro Mini The Arduino Pro Mini is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. There are two version of the Pro Mini. As you may see, Arduino Pro Mini has no USB; so programming projects for Arduino here is a bit different than the UNO or NANO.

MOZZI Currently your Arduino can only beep like a microwave oven. Mozzi brings your Arduino to life by allowing it to produce much more complex and interesting growls, sweeps and chorusing atmospherics. These sounds can be quickly and easily constructed from familiar synthesis units like oscillators, delays, filters and envelopes. You can use Mozzi to generate algorithmic music for an installation or performance, or make interactive sonifications of sensors, on a small, modular and super cheap Arduino, without the need for additional shields, message passing or external synths. Here are some sounds of the example sketches which come with Mozzi: Using a “Line” to sweep frequency: Phase and amplitude modulation, with reverb: A chordal wash of detuned oscillator pairs: Waveshaping: Samples sequenced on the fly: 16384 Hz sample rate or experimental 32768 Hz rate. 8 bit or 14 bit audio output modes (12 bits on Teensy 3.1). Download Mozzi from the top of this page and unzip it. Pause Mozzi
