For Arduino fans this is great news, now its possible to extend the functionality of the Diecimila board with ethernet shield. The board is built using the w5100 chip from Wiznet, so no need to implement the IP stack.
To connect to your LAN, all you need is to configure the MAC address, the IP and [...]
Sure, you can pick up a used Gameboy for about $20 bucks over on eBay these days, but why buy one when you could build one for yourself? Matt over at Liquidware decided to build an “open source Gameboy” (known as the Gamepack) using off-the-shelf parts, including the modder-friendly Arduino microprocessor. While the Arduino may provide the brains of the operation, the 128×128 TouchShield Stea
This Simulated LED Flame Flicker project is just the thing that is needed for all of those pumpkins that will be put out this year. It can run sufficiently long on a battery and will not burn anyone. The code is not up yet but should be posted soon.
"The code accepts an arbitrary number of [...]
The ArduGame packs all of the power into a small handheld unit that allows you to make your own simple games. The OLE display is responsible for much of the power since it can store many of the graphical images be stored on a memory card that it can read directly. The current game is [...]
Controlling audio with a micro-controller can be difficult, really difficult. The Wave Shield, from LadyAda, makes it simple. There is a bunch of sample code on the LadyAda website to get you up and running fast once you build the kit.
The Wave Shield is just one component that will be integrated into an interactive piece that I will be documenting over the next few weeks for Make. I will reveal
Melka demonstrates how to use a Nintendo Nunchuck to control 3D Studio Max with the help of an Arduino microcontroller. The code is available so that you can play with it yourself.
"Here’s my setup under windows :
- Arduino using a WiiChuck adapter from todbot (thanks kurt ^^) and the WiiChuck library from Tim Hirzel
- Data [...]
Daniel andrade show you how to build a simple temperature sensor using one LM35 Precision Temperature Sensor and Arduino.The circuit will send serial information about the temperature to the computer.It is a nice example to hookup on your future projects by changing the source code as you need.Link

TheOther1 writes:I bought a Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F Distance Sensor to use in my robot. It was very easy to see the data returned in a serial console window, but I thought it would be cool to see the distance in zones represented by colors from a tricolor LED. Then you would not need to be connected [...]

John Ryan on the Arduino forums says:
Here’s 2 ATMega168’s sharing one 16mHz resonator, one reset switch, two 10k resistors, one 220ohm resistor, and two LED pilots. I used a mini USB adapter and uploaded the LED blink test to both chips, and as Paul [Badger] suspected, they are perfectly synchronized - I’ve tested numerous resets, [...]
Ladyada released this great tutorial on how to connect a parallel LCD to an Arduino. I’m sure this will prove useful to many people, because more and more projects are LCD based, and until now there wasn’t any good tutorial out there on hooking up an LCD. I don’t know if you noticed too, but [...]
This project consist of an 8×8 LED grid controlled by the Arduino. The result is a particle effect, a particle that bounces around the LED matrix. But the arduino only has 13 outputs, so you can only control 13 LEDs? Well, the author discovered that trough Charlieplexing which is a complicated mode of wiring LED’s [...]

I developed this infrared remote control decoder for Arduino on my Arduino-compatible STK500 evaluation board for Atmel’s AVRs. The sketch is pretty much standard C code so porting to non-arduino dev systems is almost immediate.

Leah Buechley created in cooperation with Sparkfun the next generation of e-textile modules for the Wearable Electronic DIY enthusiasts: the LilyPad-Arduino set.
To introduce Leah Buechely might not be needed for our regular readers and everyone interested into Wearable Electronics just so much, Leah is a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Colorado and a member of the Craft Technology Group. Her research interests in electronic textiles, wearable computing and human computer interaction paved her way to create the now famous LED tank top.
Since then, Leah continuously developed further her tool kit for e-textiles which resulted in the latest and most sophisticated DIY kit for e-textiles I have ever seen before, the LilyPad.
The LilyPad is designed with large connecting pads, to create an interface between small electronic components and textiles, to be sewn into clothing. Various input, output, power, and sensor LilyPads are available.
Sparkfun started in 2002 fro
