Nick Poole, from SparkFun, proposes this nice tutorial, where detailed instructions on how to connect a radio-controlled (RC) remote to an Arduino board are described in great details. RC remotes are very simple controller, typically used to wirelessly control electrical rovers, cars and planes. Depending on the number of degrees of freedom required by the […]
Pixel_k needed a simple remote shutter for his digital reflex camera, which had to be usable even in low-light situations, so he decided to build his own controller by exploiting an Arduino Pro Mini and a small LCD. The result is “MiniCom”: The interface is limited to a single rotary knob you can push to […]
Jay Silver from SparkFun and Eric Rosenbaum from MIT kickstarted a very nice project, which lets you to convert almost everything into an input-device for your computer. According to SparkFun: MaKey MaKey allows you to turn almost any common object into an input-device for your computer. The front side of the MaKey MaKey board has […]
Percussa’s AudioCubes are wireless smart blocks for sound design, composition, live performance, music education and music app development. They can sense your fingers and hands as well as each other’s location and orientation. They have built in RGB lighting for visual feedback. Shaping sounds in this fashion is much more intuitive than using knobs: rather […]

Going to buy a new Wireless Controller for your next Robotics project. Why buy a new one when you can Do-It-Yourself? All you need is an Arduino, an old Joystick with a Gameport (15-pin connector) and a pair of Series 1 xBee Modules. The explanation of the xBee Configuration and the xBee Packet Description is very […]
There are people who use the Arduino for some serious electronics related stuff. Then, there are folks who use it just for fun. Alan Chatham and his team over at UnoJoy have developed a concept for Arduino Uno based USB Controllers. Here is an excerpt of our interview with Alan: Me: What made you […]
A Nintendo Wii-remote along with bluetooth communication and an arduino gives us this magical cart with a wireless steering wheel. These cool people are staunch DIY-ers and would love to see the community build more such vehicles. The cart has two motors which use a chain to drive each of the rear wheels. A pair […]
In the Maker’s own words: This is the final project for my Advanced Mechatronics class at Penn State University. The robot is the skeleton of a turret from the game Portal that uses an IP webcam to track a target and fire nerf bullets at them. This is the current state of the robot as […]
Tribute to Tetris using Snootlab Deuligne on an… by Snootlab Okay, it is cool to see Tetris powered by Arduino. What is even cooler is that you can build your own one! For the English readers (like me) here is a translated version of the discussions and details in the forum, and for the lucky […]
