Plotting Electronically
For just a few Euros, a basic plotting robot can be constructed. Based on two servos, an Arduino and a pen, it is hard to build a more simple construction than this. From the video, you can see that cheap … Continue reading

Dance to the Beat
Tap to the beat of your favorite song on the switch, and the Arduino will learn and follow. As soon as the beats-per-minute has been calculated, a LED-array will start to animate to the beat. All this is implemented in … Continue reading

Slot Car Racing
Racing slot cars can be fun, but knowing who’s fastest when requires precision measurement equipment. Enter, an Arduino-based lap timer. The timer detects the cars using an infrared beam and records the lap time. For each track, the best lap … Continue reading

Mini-segway using Arduino
Using a small Arduino and a couple of sensors, a segway-like, self-balancing robot can be constructed. The most interesting part of the project is not the construction, but the utilities developed in the project. Using the Arduino2Lego library, Lego NXT … Continue reading

Sanguino
The Sanguino board is a Arduino-derivate offering a more powerful CPU, more pins and more FLASH. All this, while being compatible with existing Arduino software. It is not physically compatible, so shields will not fit. The core of the Sanguino … Continue reading

Arduino Pong
The Arduino is a highly versitile platform, and as such, it also supports Pong. Using three resistors, the sync and light values needed by a TV can be generated. According to the author, Alistair Parker, the Arduino can generate 100-105 … Continue reading

Arduino
The Arduino is one of the flag ship products of the open hardware movement. A simple, microcontroller based motherboard with a well defined pin-out has rendered a whole forest of add-on boards called shields. But the Arduino movement is not … Continue reading
