Engineers create something out of nothing, and no where is this more apparent than in the creation of customized computer hardware. To make a simple MIDI controller, you need knowledge of firmware ...

TheMIDInator MIDI controller has been created by Switch & Lever using an Arduino Mega with its 54 digital IO and 16 analog pins to provide a wealth of inputs enabling data to pass onto a digital audio ...

The [Tymkrs] crew has come up with a pretty neat circuit bent toy keyboard hack. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a good circuit bending hack. This project started as a way to demo the [Tymkrs] ...

Is it a keyboard? Is it a guitar? It's the ARKeytar, an Arduino-based MIDI controller shaped as a maple wood keytar. Thanks to the Arduino team for highlighting this one, the work of Andrea Gregorini ...

Maker and 3D printing enthusiast James Bruton has created a new project in the form of a barcode scanner MIDI guitar. Using parts from old arcade machines, a little Arduino programming, and an Arduino ...

Just another gizmo I've whipped up in my office of insanity. I expect most of you won't have any idea why you'd want to build one of these, so I'll try to explain up front. Suffice it to say, "I find ...

There are many reasons to build your own Arduino circuit on a protoboard or a custom-designed printed circuit board. At the heart of the Arduino platform is an AVR microcontroller, in usual way you ...
