Getting a magnetic field to balance on another magnetic field is about as easy as balancing a bowling ball on the tip of an ink pen. With a little help from an Arduino mega, however, [EmmaSong] was… ...

Every week I seem to be writing about how someone has used an Arduino to fashion an interesting gadget, and today's – while not as obviously useful as, say a Pong-playing wristwatch - is still ...

Picked at random: The SiLabs Si7210 [1] is a Hall effect magnetic sensors with 0.1% linearity and an I2C interface, no Arduino ADC to tame. The Si7210 tops out at 0.2T. Eval bords for the series ...

The Arduino magnetic drawing machine operates using an Arduino board mounted with a magnetometer. This setup, combined with node.js and socket.io, allows the machine to detect disturbances in the ...

Well tech tinkerer Joe Desbonnet has whipped up what he dubs "poor man's NFC" using an Arduino, some magnet wire, and any compass-equipped Android smartphone (which is almost all of them).

Joe Desbonnet combined an Arduino microcontroller with a magnetic coil to create what he calls the “Poor Man’s NFC”. The hack allows for a one-direction, ...

The Scratch Duino programming is based on the Arduino platform and comes supplied with a variety of magnetic mounted sensors that can be installed and removed with ease.

Maturity Is the Key. Arduino has had a head start on the BeagleBoard. By October 2008, about 50,000 Arduino boards had already been shipped. That year, ...
