Have your own project idea?
New to microcontroller projects? Our XC3900 Duinotech Learning Kit has everything you need to get started with Arduino.
Can’t find the remote control? Don’t worry! Clapping lets you switch devices on and off with this simple project. You may have seen it on TV; now you can build it yourself.
This project is all about creating a simple game to test your memory.
Let the power of the sun encourage you to get out of bed each morning with this curtain/blinds opener.
Here’s a little project that isn’t hard to build, but really has unlimited uses.
Looking for a new conversation starter in your home? Build our Game of Life wall thermostat using new XC4390 addressable RGB light strip.
Gain valuable meteorological data with weather stations, empowering you to monitor and analyze weather conditions effectively.
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.
Pump up the Jam with this beat bar! Get a visual display that bounces in tune with the music.
Here's a handy little project that uses a little known feature of LEDs, and also has a laser in it, which makes it even cooler.
Arduino® is an open source hardware and software prototyping environment, but what does this mean?
This is a great little tool for the green thumbs.
Control your ROS projects with a simple to build controller
Get started with the Microbit starter pack and this neat little game!
In this project we built a current meter using the AC712 current sensor, instead of just displaying or reporting current measurements we made the project a little more interesting by calculating power consumption (which is just POWER = CURRENT x VOLTAGE), and reporting the power consumption via email.
Combine a micro:bit XC4320 and breakout board XC4330 to create an electronic christmas tree using up to 12 LEDs and your own imagination.
Many off-the-shelf modules have header pins that can be difficult to work with, whether they are facing the right way or are the wrong configuration (vertical instead of horizontal, vice versa.)
We saw a version of this project in The Shed Magazine, and thought it would be perfect to build using our duinotech parts.
This clever robot is the perfect way to get started with robotics.
A handy little tool that can help you out if you work with LED’s a lot, especially if you are always trying to work out the right resistor to make them work.
Raspberry Pi and Servo motors to make a motion security camera
Here's a project that will take you into the world beyond the basics of the Duinotech Learning Kit.
Here's the first of our mini projects that you can build from parts in the XC3900 kit.
Here's a good project for a beginner, which can add a bit of Christmas spirit to your workbench, and also teach you how multiple LED's can be controlled from a handful of microcontroller pins.
Have a power source you need to measure the voltage of? Or want to see how much current you're putting through your projects? Have a go of our easy mini DC Power Meter project.
Here's another easy to build project similar to the LED tester, and using the same hardware.
Get a quick alert on your phone when you get a new letter in the mailbox!
Control some dazzling RGB effects with ESP8266 and Vue.js Web App! Want to decorate your loungeroom or living areas with cool lighting effects from your mobile phone? With this kit you can!
Not just a great project for the coming holiday break, this compass can be used to find your way home.
Have you lost or broken the controller for your christmas lights this season?
Even individuals who aren't technologically inclined will find the XC0440 Wi-Fi Weather Station to be an accessible yet comprehensive tool. We demonstrate just how simple it is to install and set up.
So you’ve just finished building your Arduino project, and it’s happily running off the USB lead hanging out of your computer.
We saw this project on Instructables, and had to try it for ourselves. Of course, we ended up using all the Duinotech parts we had around.
The best thing about at the ATtiny85 IC is undoubtedly its size, but this also makes it difficult to program.
This little test tool is designed to be easily put together if you need a very basic 'scope in a hurry.
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.
We are very excited to get the chance to play with our new LoRa Shields, and test just how far we could get a signal using LoRa technology.
The Coding Shield Project is inspired by the ThinkerShield, which has been developed by the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences as a tool for teaching coding.
