When I first got into the Arduino I went looking for audio projects. One of the first things I built was TobaTobias’ Auduino granular synth. I was so impressed I built a permanent unit in a heavy duty enclosure and incorporated it into my occasional sets and demos.. This simple project makes really impressive sounds- from clean …
Communicating with a host computer can allow a simple Arduino-based system to gain access to a wide variety of devices and information. Most people link an Arduino to a host using serial communications across a USB connection with custom code running on the host to send information to the Arduino or receive it in return, …
If you grew up in the early 1980’s and were into video games, you probably had an Atari 2600, ColecoVision, or similar game console. The controllers or joysticks for each of these systems had a distinct feel that is different from today’s game consoles or PC game controllers. If you find yourself longing to plug …
I often run out of digital pins on my Arduino. Anything as complicated as, say, a video game controller, was near impossible with the amount of pins I had available. Multiplexing buttons works, but it requires lots of connections and soldering. So, I put together a solution! Step 1: Resistor Dividers in Five In a …

Amazon’s Alexa is cool. USB fans are cool. Alexa enabled USB fan, even cooler. This fan turns on with a voice command to an Amazon Alexa device, “Alexa, turn [insert your name here]’s fan on”. The fan is also set to turn off automatically after 45minutes (adjustable through code). The weather has been hot lately …
Arduino can send output through serial communication to your computer over USB. The output can be anything such as status, text, sensor reading, value, number etc. You can view the status output by clicking Serial Monitor button at Arduino Environment software. Instruction; 1) Connect your arduino to your computer using USB cable A plug to …
Arduino is a great platform. No question. But what if I told you that you could take your entire board and compact it into tiny package. And I mean really small. The chip in the picture is an ATTiny84, and that is the big version. So if your project only needs a few pins and …
Hi guys, I bring a new instructable for arduino, the control access with password, 4×4 keypad and a servo. We will use the Password and Keypad librarie for arduino, besides using the servo library, but this project can also be modified by changing the servo, a motor reley or motor stepper, or any other ideas …

Arduino isn’t limited to taking input from sensors: you can even connect up a full-size PS/2 keyboard just as if it were a “real” computer and type away! Connecting a keyboard to an Arduino may sound a bit odd (after all, it’s just a little microcontroller) but keep in mind that an Arduino actually has …
Motivation: Playing in a 2 piece band, with the drums and lots of other samples being played back as backing tracks, there was a need to use a looper to add in more elements to the tracks. A hardware based looper fails in this respect, since there is no way to maintain synchronisation. Meaning, slight …
