Get an Arduino and teach yourself to program Programming is more than just picking a language and framework. Programming means understanding how code interacts with actual computer hardware.

An Arduino is a popular open-source single-board microcontroller. Learn how to program one and let the possibilities take shape.

The official Arduino IDE is a dour piece of software designed for uploading code to the ubiquitous and super-cool micro controller. It is a standalone, non-networked app that isn't very pretty to ...

August 28, 2011 [Mike] sent in a project he’s been working on – a port of a BASIC interpreter that fits on an Arduino.

He builds a simple dead bug Arduino (which he calls an Audioino) using a handful of resistors, a pair of caps, an LED, a reset switch, and most importantly – an audio jack.

If you've always wanted to try to build an Arduino project, this may be a great way to start. Matt Williamson built a tiny, Arduino-based motion sensor that will SMS you when something moves by ...

While it’s great to look at professional maker projects that use motion tracking cameras or giant 3D prints that break the bank, it’s also nice to look at simple Arduino builds too. This ...

While a few Wi-Fi solutions have existed to connect your Arduino to the internet wirelessly, the release of the new Arduino Wi-Fi shield makes those projects even simpler.

The system here uses a cheap Arduino board, a few sensors, and a magnetic contact switch. It’s then hooked into the Adafruit IO and connected to IFTTT, so you can set up alerts in any way you like.

Arduino is a great platform forthose wanting to get into both software and hardware development, but incorporating voicecommands into these projects is not without its challenges. MOVI is a ...
