Arduino Picture Frame

There's not a lot to construct in this project - it's just an UNO and LCD Touch Shield, but if you want a simple project that looks slick then it's a good place to start.

Arduino Learning
Difficulty

Arduino® is an open source hardware and software prototyping environment, but what does this mean?

Arcade Joystick
Entertainment
Arcade Joystick
Difficulty

There's a lot of arcade emulators out there that can run on many computers including the Raspberry Pi so it only makes sense to play these emulators on some authentic hardware. Here we'll show you how to build an arcade style joystick using our new Arcade Pushbuttons and Arcade Joystick. We've got a Leonardo main board to emulate a USB keyboard so it can be used with any software that you can play with a keyboard. Just like any other Arduino design, it can of course be customised to more buttons or even mapped to different keys. We've built ours in an ABS enclosure for portability but there's no reason you couldn't mount the controls directly to an arcade cabinet or even a coffee table.

Metronome

Metronome
Difficulty

We usually think of soldering irons, pliers and oscilloscopes when we think of electronic tools, and while this project may not be useful to the electronics enthusiast we think it's a good way of showing how Arduino based tools can be useful in other fields - in this case for musicians
