DIY Arduino MIDI Drum Kit
December 19th, 2007This isn’t exactly a set of instructions, but anyone familiar with the Arduino should be able to make up something similar to this. With nice pads (think recycled mousepads) and some nice packaging, this could make up a great electronic drum set.
I’ll be exploring this in the next year as I’d really like to have a drum set at home, but lack the space and don’t want to spend much money on this. Plus, the ability to control a drum machine by playing “real” drums is more interesting (to me) than playing a “real” drum. I can’t get enough of that TR-808 bass drum.

Arduino-Powered Holiday Lights
December 12th, 2007
Wanting to take full control of his Christmas tree, Brian from Hackszine used the open-source Arduino microcontroller to drive a homemade grid array of 64 LEDs. Pretty nice. Again, a nice project that can be decontextualized, rehashed and reinterpreted in the true hacker/xmas spirit.
