Arduino: creation is child’s play [Wired Italia]
Have a look at this wonderfully handcrafted 20-min webumentary about Arduino, made by Opificio Ciclope and produced by Wired Italia.
Nice format and nice look: good job.
The core of our story is the life of Massimo Banzi, and the region in which he was born: the Canavese area. In particular, the city of Ivrea, a veritable Mecca of Italian informatics, where Olivetti had its headquarters. The more we discovered their world, the more it became clear that this story was not only about silicon and circuits: it was about their shared excitement and their curiosity, like kids playing with their favorite toy.
(BTW, Massimo is not from Ivrea, but I guess Ivrea’s Mayor is going to give him and the Arduino Team the honorary citizenship)

Arduino Basics: Google+ Page
I have just set up a Google+ page for the Arduino Basics blog posts.
If you haven't already tried it, Google+ is a great way to develop communities of like-minded individuals. It is a great way to share and ask questions. I held off from joining Google+, but now that I see it's advantages - I really like it. Anyway, I will still be blogging in the usual way, however, if you happen to be using Google+, please make sure to come and visit my page.

Need Help with conflicting Arduino libraries
Hello everyone,
I recently recieved some HC-SR04's and am wanting to make a little device to test them. The idea is that one sensor controls when a piezo buzzer will play, and the other sensor will decide the pitch of that note. I have written some code together but on trying to compile I get this error:
core.a(Tone.cpp.o): In function `__vector_7':
C:\Program Files (x86)\arduino-1.0.1\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino/Tone.cpp:523: multiple definition of `__vector_7'
Face-Tracking Lamp
Pinokio was created by Shanshan Zhou, Adam Ben-Dror, and Joss Doggett with Processing, an Arduino, and OpenCV. Lamp is an exploration into the expressive and behavioural potentials of robotic computing. Customized computer code and electronic circuit design imbues Lamp with the ability to be aware of its environment, especially people, [...]
servo
I tried to write a code but the servo would not stay so
Please can someone write a c++ code for arduio for me
servo for mini hexapod
Hello,
I want to build a mini hexapod and i would like a suggestion from you for a cheap servomachine (de kserw an to grafw kala auto) to use, which will be sufficient for this project.. I have found these here on my own:

Speaker Design With Arduino and 3D Printers
Robert Scoble interviews Charles Sprinkle, a systems engineer at Harman, a maker of audio equipment. Sprinkle uses Arduino and 3D printing in the design, testing and improvement of new speakers at Harman. It is good to see real examples of the maker toolset in the workplace. (via Scobelizer [...]
How-To: Daisy Chain Arduinos via Serial
If you have a project that uses a bunch of Arduinos, how can you get them to communicate together? Scott Lawrence from The Geodesic Sphere shows us how to daisy chain multiple Arduinos together via their serial ports. He used this technique for his long-term Animatronic Avian project inspired by [...]
Christmas light controller is its own percussion section
[Jason] and his father took advantage of a week off of work over Thanksgiving to design and build a Christmas light decoration that can flash fancy patterns. He calls it the Uno Christmas Tree. It’s sixteen strands of lights draped between a pole and the ground to form the shape of a tree. The main controller is an Arduino UNO, but what really makes this work is a mechanical relay board with sixteen channels.
Using trigonometry they figured out that the decoration would be fifteen feet tall and have a five-foot radius at the base. A pipe was installed to act as the trunk, with an old toilet flange at the top and stakes at the bottom to anchor the lights. They all make their connections at the controller box using extension cords that were labelled with channel numbers. You can see the final product in the video after the break. But you’ll also want to watch the clip on [Jason's] blog which shares the sonic symphony created when the mechanical relays really start working.
