This instructable shows how to build a shield to connect devices that send MIDI signals (e.g. a masterkeyboard) to an Arduino. The basic schematic is derived from: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1187962258/ Step 1: The schematic Basically the schematic is just an optocoupler with some resistors to decouple the MIDI device from the Arduino. Note that the DIN connector […]

Morse code was the breakthrough that made possible long-distance communication in the era of the telegraph. The code represents alphanumeric characters by short and long intervals of signal — those familiar dots and dashes. For many years passing a Morse code test was a prerequisite of getting a Ham license, but nowadays most radio amateurs

Waveform generators (also called function generators) are useful for testing and debugging circuits. They can be used to test the frequency response of electronic components like op amps and sensors or to characterize and troubleshoot audio effects boxes and pedals. This waveform generator shield is powered by an Arduino. It outputs four waveforms: sine, triangle,

In this tutorial we make an LCD shield for using 20 character by four row LCD modules with Arduino Uno. Updated 18/03/2013 In this article you can follow the process of making another LCD shield for the Arduino Uno or compatible boards. In the past (which explains the word another in this title) I made a 16 x 2

Breadboards are very handy, but sometimes I just want to connect one IC or some LEDs and resistors to the controller. My simple solution was to canibalize a cheap Breadboard to get two expandable PrototypingShields with some additional features. What I used: Breadboard (~3$) 2 Pieces of Veroboard (<1$) 28 PinHeader (<1$) 28 femaleConnectors (<1$)

Use this shield to re-burn the bootloader for any arduino. You can always make one on a breadboard, but having a shield is great. This is great for people who works with lots of arduinos. You can also use it with AVRDUDE. I will have a parts list coming soon… (this instructable will be under
