In the mid eighties synths manufaturers started a “less is better” process that led to barebones synths. This allowed the reduction of costs on the manufaturer side, but made the patching process tediuos if not impossible for the final user. Manufacturers themselfs and third party companies realized optional boxes full of knobs and/or sliders to

To get started with Arduino, you’ll need some basics. In this tutorial, we’ll go beyond a little blinky light and teach you about: Variables Input and Output pins Sensors and reading data Mapping results Functions In another tutorial, I’ll cover classes and why we might use them. But, we might still make a little light
During my high-school sophomore year, the 3rd floor of our house lighted on fire due to a short circuit. Fortunately, my family was away on vacation for Christmas. But if we were home, wouldn’t it be crucial to tell the direction of fire quickly so that we know the direction to evacuate? Consider another situation.
Alaska is on the edge of advancing climate change. Its unique position of having a fairly untouched landscape populated with a variety of coal mine canaries enables a lot of research possibilities. Our friend Monty is an Archaeologist who helps with camps for kids in Native Villages scattered around the state–Culturalalaska.com. He has been building
In this instructable I will show you how to make your own professional looking arduino shield. In the proses of designing the arduino shield I will use eagle.cad, arduino software & viewplot. First step in making a arduino shield is thinking of what you want it to be. depending on what your shield is going
