With Christmas just a few hours away and no snow in sight, we present to you this scenic snowflake created using LEDs and controlled by Arduino.
The application itself is quite simple, but the construction method makes this snowflake truly unique.
A virtual shield and a smartphone, with the addition of ultrasound sensors that allow us to detect passage and direction of anyone crossing a passage. Most of Arduino’s success is also due to the fact that the base features of this board can be expanded by simply adding shields, which are boards containing hardware…
Eagle PCB Design Software it’s hugely adopted across the Open Source Software community: surely many of you already used Eagle to create boards and circuitry and the Eagle format has become sort of a standard in the maker community to share design openly. Because of this huge penetration in the community, we decided to dig…
Step is a toy that allows children, in a very playful and straight forward way, to compose and edit simple loops using custom sounds. Some basic topics of music composition such as sound sampling, tempo and track channels are introduced to children who plays with it. Step’s interface is composed by a board and color…
The Christmas announcement we all were waiting for: the new ide can now manage the CC and ORG boards! Following the announcement at this year’s World Maker Faire, we’re excited to reveal the release of Arduino IDE 1.8.0—the new official desktop editor for all Arduino boards, both .org and .cc alike. This should come as…
What is Piunora? Piunora is a development board complete with IO headers, USB ports, and HDMI output. It has an M.2 connector, some built-in LEDs, a camera connector, and a few other features. It also opens up some new functions, such as the ability to run the Pi as a USB gadget rather than…
In this project we will see how to recreate the Snake game on a matrix of LEDs. After loading, the game will automatically start with the snake in the lower left corner. An apple will randomly spawn and you can start moving the snake with a joystick. We have an 8 x 12 matrix of…
