Building a universal remote with an Arduino
This is a nice DIY universal remote using an Arduino and an IR LED. Hopefully you have an oscilloscope so you can decode your current remote. If not, keep checking craigslist for a really cheap one. That's where I got mine. It is really easy to build a universal remote using an Arduino. With just an infrared LED, it can impersonate remotes for your TV, fans, lights, etc. and can let you easily incorporate these into your electronics projects. […] read

Auduino synth project
The Auduino project turns Arduino into a PWM based sound synthesizer - Sound is generated by playing the same noise ('grain') repeatedly at very high speed. This merges into a tone that is an audible hybrid of the repetition rate and the original grain. The grain consists of two triangular waves of adjustable frequency, and adjustable decay rate. The repetition rate is set by another control.Only basic hardware required - 5 potentiometers, and an output jack […] read

Breath bra records your daily breathing patterns
The "Breath Bra" was created as a simple excersize using a LilyPad Arduino to record its wearer's breath over the course of a day or week and transmit the data over a Bluetooth connection to their cellphone (in this case a Nokia N95). Check out the link below for code on this build. Breath Bra Read more | Permalink | Comments | Read more articles in Arts | Digg this! read

Open Source Hardware overview....
[…] the use of the term "Open source hardware" - for the folks who have been doing OSH, it's pretty specific - basically others can use your stuff in a commercial way, Arduino being a specific example, you can manufacture you own and sell them if you wanted (some have). The flipside is, some makers don't want to allow commercial use of their projects but *do* want to share their works in a non-commercial way. The term "open hardware" has been gaining some interest along with a specific Creative […] read

Image Scanning Sequencer goes portable, turns light table doodles into creepy murmurs
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets Those MAKE kids sure love their Arduino, and today's creation has a fun musical bent. The Image Scanning Sequencer -- a portable followup to the similarly-dubbed Image Scanning Sequencer -- has a strip of photo cells that can trigger MIDI notes based on what they're picking up. The darkness of the detected "note" sets the velocity of the note, and the location sets the pitch. The Arduino sits in between, […] read

Visualizing sound with an Arduino
Nick has a nice post about visualizing sound on an Arduino. He uploaded the Processing and Arduino code so you can try it out yourself. This looks like a good place to start learning about the Minim library and Processing. I modified another old Processing program of mine to graphically react to sound using the Minim library. The program outputs the sound level to an Arduino connected to a breadboard, creating a sound level meter using […] read

Handheld sequencer converts image to MIDI
The Image Scanning Sequencer uses photocells with Arduino to generate streams of MIDI notes - It uses LDRs to measure the gray-scale of specific point of a image, and triggers midi notes from a selected threshold. When the threshold is reached the velocity will be set by the darkness at that point. the darker point the higher the velocity will be. The sequencer plays the notes as a arpeggiator, i chose for this playback method because i […] read

Handheld Sequencer Scans Images and Plays Them Back as MIDI Notes [DIY]
Ooooh—This is a weird one. Using LDR photocells and an arduino, this handheld sequencer is capable of scanning an image and spitting it back out as a sequence of haunting MIDI notes. If you are as interested as I am in seeing how this would interpret a photocopy of the butt, then by all means follow the link and build one yourself. [Gieskes via Make] read

Chromadepth stereo viewer
A big fan of stereoscopic imaging, Matti heavily modded a viewmaster - adding an Arduino board, accelerometer, bluetooth and some buttons. The result is an interactive animation viewer using color-based chromadepth technique for 3D - The Arduino sends the sensor data and the button states wirelessly via bluetooth to my computer. The information is parsed in Max/MSP, which in turn sends the data as OSC […] read

Open Source Hardware on New Hampshire Public Radio's "Word of Mouth"
Now we're talking! This is great! Open Source Hardware on New Hampshire Public Radio's "Word of Mouth"! The Italian design firm Arduino makes one of the hottest circuit boards used by gadget builders today. Since mass production began two years ago, the company has sold about 50,000 units - not bad for a small start-up nestled in the medieval foothills of […] read
