Kaleb Clark really enjoys flight simulators, but when attempting to fly a helicopter, a normal keyboard or even a joystick isn’t quite optimal for controlling its vertical movement. Real helicopters use a lever assembly called a collective to adjust downward...

After picking up a free arcade machine, YouTuber “Another Maker” has naturally been considering what to do with it. One of the more interesting components included is the 1/5/10/20 U.S. dollar bill acceptor, which he outlines in the video below....

Combating COVID-19 Conference: A Collaborative Arduino Community Initiative will take place today, April 2nd starting at 5pm CEST. The online event will be streamed via Zoom. From 5:00 to 5:30pm, there will be only one streaming channel (LINK HERE). After...

Giovanni Carrera has created a capable power monitor, dubbed the ArduINA226, using an Arduino Nano and an INA226 IC.  This chip measures the current and voltage, and calculates power, which is then read by the Arduino board and sent to...

With the current coronavirus situation, we’ve been encouraged to wash our hands regularly for 20 seconds – or approximately how long it takes you to hum “Happy Birthday” from beginning to end twice. That sounds easy enough, but do you...

Combating COVID-19 Conference: A Collaborative Arduino Community Initiative to take place on April 2nd at 5pm CET To the Arduino community: Humanity is facing one of the most trying events in its history and as technologists, makers and designers we are...

Whether it’s with an old friend or new acquaintance, we’ve all had those awkward gaps in conversation. Do you speak next, or let the other person lead the discussion? If that’s not happening naturally, then SASSIE, or “System for Awkward...

What does one do with over 1,000 LEDs, white acrylic, and 288 IR sensors? If you’re Redditor “jordy_essen,” you create an interactive light panel. In one mode, the user pull a reflective tool across the sensors to draw a paths,...

We’re just hours away from (virtually) celebrating Arduino Day! Join us on Saturday for our official livestream, starting at 2pm CET. We’ll connect with community events from all around the world as well as hear from Arduino team members like Fabio...

To help individuals work remotely and share their designs with team members, we’re providing a free three-month upgrade to the Arduino Create Maker plan to all 1.4 million users of Create as well as new subscribers to the service. With Arduino...

Researchers from the University of Auckland in New Zealand’s are exploring a new way to construct interactive touch surfaces using finger-mounted audio transducers.  VersaTouch — which works on everyday surfaces — uses one or more receivers to measure sound waves...

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and while making your own medical equipment isn’t normally advisable, Johnny Lee’e project explores how to turn a CPAP machine into a ventilator. The idea is that since these machines are basically just blowers...

Loop antennas for ham radios use heavy duty variable capacitors for tuning. Since such capacitors need to be physically turned for adjustment, radio enthusiast Jose B.O. made his own remote rig using an Arduino Uno and CNC shield. The CNC...

We’ve partnered with Thales, Telstra and Microsoft to pave the way for scalable security for connected IoT devices, by implementing a solution that enables trusted and secure end-to-end communication between device and cloud. The solution enables instant and standardized mutual...

It’s been a long time since we first launched our Arduino IDE inspired by the glorious Processing interface, and what started as a Java UI wrapper for build scripts has gone through countless iterations over the past fifteen years. Some...

If you want to “enhance your athletic training regimen,” or perhaps just have a bit of fun with robotically launched ping pong balls, then be sure to check out the Pingo apparatus shown in the video below. This robot moves...

Touching your face is a subconscious behavior that we all do, and it is also an easy way to pick up illnesses like the coronavirus and flu. However, like many infectious diseases, proper hygiene can help reduce your risk. With...

When you step out in public, you’ll often be filmed by a number of cameras and perhaps even be analyzed by tracking software of some kind. The Watchman robot head by Graham Jessup, however, makes this incredibly obvious as it...

After being given a 2009 MacBook, John Forsyth decided to use it to start a 1976 Jeep via voice control. The build uses the laptop’s Enhanced Dictation functionality to convert text into speech, and when a Python program receives the...

This is a guest post from Surrogate, a team of developers building games that people play in real-life over the internet. We introduced this concept last year, and have launched three games so far. Our final game of 2019 was...

Music and synchronized lighting can be a beautiful combination, evident by panGenerator’s recent installation that was commissioned by the Meskie Granie concert tour in Poland. The interactive sculpture was comprised of 15 drums that trigger waves of light traveling toward...

This post is from Massimiliano Pippi, Senior Software Engineer at Arduino. The Arduino IoT Cloud platform aims to make it very simple for anyone to develop and manage IoT applications and its REST API plays a key role in this...

If you have multiple applications open in Windows, you may want one to be louder than the other, but what if you want to adjust levels with physical sliders like an actual DJ? If that sounds interesting, check out this...

Tetris was as a perfect complement to Nintendo’s original Game Boy when it came out in 1989, and now “Copper Dragon” has been able to fit an entire system for it — sans monitor or speakers — inside of a faux...
