:: The Arduino Playground ::
Welcome to the Arduino Playground, a wiki where all the users of Arduino can contribute and benefit from their collective research.

This is the place to post and share your own code, circuit diagrams, tutorials, DIY instructions, tips and tricks, and after all the hard work, to show off your projects! Anyone can edit and add to the pages here.

Arduino Playground is a work in progress. We can use all the help you can give, so please read the Participate section and get your fingers typing!

NOTE (20081002): Solved the problem for adding content in non-western Latin languages, now it is possible to start typing in any language on the internet test here


Playground Content Tree

Manuals and Curriculum

  • More Good starting places - Cohesive documentation that will step you through a variety of topics.

Board Setup and Configuration

  • Learn more about using and configuring your boards. For example: power supplies, burning bootloaders, firmwares, etc.

Development Tools

  • Software for PCs for Arduino development.

Complete Applications

  • It seems there are a lot of pages/examples about one subject or another, but nearly none that lists complete applications. This is for listing complete applications.

Interfacing With Hardware

  • Output - Examples and information for specific output devices and peripherals: How to connect and wire up devices and code to drive them.

  • Input - Examples and information on specific input devices and peripherals: How to connect and wire up devices and code to get data from them.

  • Storage - Adding external storage to your Arduino board.

  • Communication - various means of communicating to and from an Arduino board.

  • General - General interfacing that does not fit under any of the categories, or span across multiple.

Interfacing with Software

  • How to get Arduino to talk to various pieces of software on your computer.

Code Library and Tutorials

  • Here you find general use software snippets and libraries for calculations and 'internal' purposed. Tutorials for learning C, math, sleep, etc.
  • If you have code to contribute related to an external device, find the right spot under InterfacingWithHardware.

Suggestions & Bugs

  • An online poll about Arduino features. Here's a place to request Arduino functions that would make your life complete!

Electronics Techniques

  • Soldering tutorials and electronics texts and resources.

Sources for Electronic Parts

Related Hardware and Initiatives

  • Arduino-compatible hardware, related initiatives, and other microcontroller platforms.

Arduino People/Groups & Sites

Exhibition

  • A gallery of projects made with Arduino (as opposed to tutorials on how to recreate them).
