In this video, electronics guru Ben Heck examines and explains the Arduino including Outputs, Inputs, PWM and Analog Input. You can view the video below, but I suggest reading the next bit for some background and hints. I recommend watching from…

nanpy – Use your Arduino with Python and the #RaspberryPi
The nanpy library allows Python programmers to communicate with an Arduino connected via a serial line connected to a host computer (in our case, a Raspberry Pi). It is similar to pyFirmata. The nanpy library is under development and has a…
Control Google Earth Flight simulator with #Arduino – maybe with #RaspberryPi?
Two Arduino posts in one morning, what is the world coming to? Here’s an Instructable where an Arduino and accelerometer sensor is used to control the Google Earth Flight Simulator on a Windows machine. I wonder if the same can…
Debrick your router using #Arduino – possibly with #RaspberryPi ?
Here’s a blog post that someone wrote after bricking (really, really messing up) their TP-Link WR740N router. They used an Arduino to communicate over serial pins to the router and then pushed a new firmware to it, thus saving the…
How Arduino is open-sourcing imagination
This is a talk from a TED conference by Massimo Banzi, who helped invent the Arduino. You can read the original article on GeekBoy.it or just watch the video below. Now, I’d never heard of TED, so here’s what Wikipedia says about…
#Raspberry Pi to Arduino via GPIO UART
With most Arduinos (and compatibles) there is a USB port. However, communicating over it introduces some latency. Communicating directly via UART serial is faster. Here’s a tutorial on how to make it happen for you. Raspberry Pi and Arduino via GPIO…
Serial communication between #RaspberryPi and #Arduino
Great little tutorial on powering an Arduino from the Pi’s 5V pin and also communicating via serial from the GPIO pins. Well worth a look if you want communication between the two to be faster. As the article points out,…
CT Scanner made with Arduino
Not strictly Raspberry Pi-related, someone has made a CT scanner out of an x-ray tube bought from eBay and an Arduino. Very cool. CT Scanner made with Arduino (from parts of eBay!) | GeekBoy.it.
Pi and Arduino [reblog]
Great summary article from Romilly Cocking of Quick2Wire of the community relationship between the Pi and Arduino as evidenced at the Milton Keynes Raspberry Jam. I’m still a bit unsure about level shifters, SPI and I2C, but I’m…
Measure temperature with Arduino and MCP9700
Found a useful tutorial on using this tiny temperature sensor with the Arduino. Using the Raspberry Pi to program the Arduino using ‘ino’ and then monitoring the serial output with ‘ino serial’, I got a temperature reading and the whole…
