Chapter 1, page 11 This code is basic but allows the reader to gain insight into key elements for several other projects in this book. It combines two pieces of code that are listed in the examples ...

In this project, we create a joystick-controlled laser by connecting two servos to a joystick and using this setup as a pan-and-tilt controller for a laser pointer.

This article presents a procedure for reading the analog ports of the Arduino UNO R3 board, on which an analog Joystick was connected. The analog data are related to the position of command and can be ...

10 Simple-But-Fun Projects to Make With Arduino John Boxall, author of the new book Arduino Workshop, shares a few of the projects from his book on how to get started with the microcontroller.

If you've messed with Arduino, the inexpensive micro controller, you'll know that you can run a small motor or turn an LED on and off, but anything else - powering a pump, turning on a light bulb ...

He ended up designing an 8 by 16 grid of LED’s that was turned into a game of Tetris. He arranged all 128 LED’s into the grid on a piece of perfboard.

We like how [newsonator] wired up the LEDs to the Arduino by soldering them to a row of header pins and sticking that into the Arduino so it can be used in other projects down the line.

Arduino announced today a new controller, the Esplora, which includes more prebuilt features and could be a step for Arduino toward a wider segment of the microcontroller market.

Even though games like Infinity Blade can be great fun on the iPhone, there's no getting around the fact that touchscreen-centric, buttonless devices don't offer the best gaming ergonomics. A ...
