Adding CV inputs to the Auduino granular synth

Adding CV inputs to the Auduino granular synth

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- […]

MP3 Interface for Arduino

MP3 Interface for Arduino

I have added a follow-on to this Instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/Cheap-and-Easy-MP3-Shield-for-Arduino/ The follow-on shows you how to design, etch and build a PCB shield to connect the MP3 to the Arduino. Replaces the analog switches with a 74HC244. SIngle layer board with large surface mount component design. Only 5 thru holes. Take a look. Ebay abounds with sales

ATtiny programmer using Arduino ISP

ATtiny programmer using Arduino ISP

Thanks to: http://jeonlab.wordpress.com/ For relatively small (less number of pins than ATmega328) projects, ATtiny series, ATtiny45 or Attiny85 are good choice in terms of its physical size (8-DIP or 8-SOIC)  and low power consumption. There are many ways to program it. One of the popular device is USBtinyISP and DASA. Both of them work very well with WinAVR (AVRdude). I’d

Convert a toy piano to work as a midi device and use it with Synthesia

Convert a toy piano to work as a midi device and use it with Synthesia

Goal of this project: Convert a cheap toy piano to work as a midi device and use it with Synthesia (http://www.synthesiagame.com/) Other programs that use midi inputs can also be used. Approach: The pushbuttons of the piano are used to make a simple pull-down circuit for the arduino mega. The arduino interprets the keystrokes and

Interface Arduino to MySQL using Python

Interface Arduino to MySQL using Python

Here’s a brief tutorial that should get you up and running interfacing your Adruino with a MySQL database. For the sake of this tutorial, I am assuming you know how to set up and use MySQL. This tutorial does not require much Python experience, but you will be required to install two Python libraries for

Integrated Sensor and L298N Motor Shield

Compact 3-in-1 Stripboard DIYduino with Integrated Sensor and L298N Motor Shield

I am presenting a compact design of a stripboard Arduino board (DIYduino) that includes a 2A motor driver and has additionally the functionality of a sensor shield. The 2-channel version cost approximately $29.43 and is more affordable compared to $39.00 for a commercially available system consisting of an Arduino Uno, $21.50, a sensor shield, $8.50,
