Arduino Play a Melody

Play a Melody using the tone() function with Arduino

This example shows how to use the tone() command to generate notes. It plays a little melody you may have heard before. Circuit image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page Connect one terminal of your speaker to digital pin 8 through a 100 ohm resistor. Connect the other terminal to ground.

Arduino Mini LED Siren

Make a Mini LED Siren powered by Arduino

This is one of the first projects I have made with Arduino. It’s a little siren with a LED that fades and blinks on and off. It demonstrates basic use of LEDs and speakers. Also check out this article: 8-Pin Programming Shield Constructive criticism is appreciated! Let’s get started!   Step 2: Solder jumper wires

Arduino watering controller

A watering controller that can be home networked using an Arduino

A couple of weeks ago, I published a great little controller module that provided 6 relays able to be controlled from a computer via a network.  After I published it, I got to thinking that the same basic design, with a couple of changes could be pressed into service as a garden watering system controller.

Arduino based theremin

Arduino-based theremin

Theremin is one of the most exiting musical instruments ever made, mainly because of its “quite odd” playing method. Infact, its working principle is based on near-filed coupling between the hands of the theremin player and two metal antennas, used to determine the pitch of a variable-frequency oscillator and to adjust the volume of the output signal, respectively. Several theremin
