After almost 2 months of waiting, my new favorite episode of Sylvia's Super Awesome Maker Show is here! Super Simple Arduino!</p> <p>I show you how to build two super simple projects for Arduino with code I helped write! A <a href="/strobe">Super Simple Strobe</a> for looking at things in slow motion, and the <a href="/riff">Randomly Influenced Finger Flute (or, the RIFF)</a>. And with the help of our electronic puppet friends, we explore how the Arduino does some of it's magic. It was a blast to make and I hope you have a blast watching it. Let me know what you think in the comments.</p> <p>Thanks for watching!</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"> <h3 class="field-label">Tags&nbsp;</h3> <span class="field-items"> <a href="/tags/arduino" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Arduino</a>, <a href="/tags/led" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">led</a>, <a href="/tags/music" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">music</a>, <a href="/tags/strobe" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">strobe</a>, <a href="/tags/sylvia" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">sylvia</a>, <a href="/tags/light" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">light</a> </span> </div> Tue, 31 Aug 2010 16:38:23 +0000 Super-Awesome Sylvia 18 at http://sylviashow.com http://sylviashow.com/blog/sylvia/2010/08/31/simple-super-awesome-arduino#comments Sylvia's Simple Arduino Projects http://sylviashow.com/episodes/s1/e3/full/arduino <div class="field field-name-field-ep-youtube field-type-link-field field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><iframe id="player" type="text/html" width="500" height="311" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3xCY2K9kQz4?enablejsapi=1&origin=sylviashow.com" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-ep-type field-type-list-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Full</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-ep-number field-type-number-integer field-label-inline clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Ep.

It only requires an Arduino and a speaker, so there's no reason not to give it a try! And if you're feeling adventurous, fork the code on github and add your own features!</p> <p>Be sure and check out a far cooler musical project, <a href="http://code.google.com/p/tinkerit/wiki/Auduino">tinker.it's Soft-synth: <strong>Auduino</strong></a>.</p> <!-- Creative Commons License --><p><a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/"><br /><img alt="CC-GNU GPL" border="0" src="http://creativecommons.org/images/public/cc-GPL-a.png" /></a><br /><br /> This software is licensed under the <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/">CC-GNU GPL</a> version 2.0 or later.</p> <!-- /Creative Commons License --></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"> <h3 class="field-label">Tags&nbsp;</h3> <span class="field-items"> <a href="/tags/arduino" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Arduino</a>, <a href="/tags/music" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">music</a>, <a href="/tags/riff" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">RIFF</a>, <a href="/tags/speaker" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">speaker</a>, <a href="/tags/sound" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">sound</a> </span> </div> Tue, 31 Aug 2010 06:01:14 +0000 TechNinja 22 at http://sylviashow.com http://sylviashow.com/riff#comments Sylvia builds the Drawdio http://sylviashow.com/episodes/s1/e1/full/drawdio <div class="field field-name-field-ep-youtube field-type-link-field field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><iframe id="player" type="text/html" width="500" height="311" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qmp-Qi7-ltY?enablejsapi=1&origin=sylviashow.com" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-ep-type field-type-list-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Full</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-ep-number field-type-number-integer field-label-inline clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Ep.
