I didn't know the NS1 Nanosynth, but it does look interesting
BLIDino Arduino MIDI over Bluetooth with iOS and OSX (video), source code now available
Synthtopia posts about the release of source code for Arduino MIDI over bluetooth for iOS and OSX.
This looks pretty impressive and hopefully we'll see some interesting applications of this very soon.
So this is coming and will make the Atmegatron owners very happy
You might remember that I did a video (below) and interview a while ago with Paul from Soulsby Synths. Well I bumped into him at the Music Tech Fest Hack on Saturday and Sunday as well, and he showed me the picture above which is going to be Lemur template for working with the Atmegatron. Sorry for the slightly blurred picture, but I was in a hurry!
If you've no idea about what the Atmegatron is, here's a little video tour ...
I'm also waiting patiently for the Atmegatron mini too. I think that'll be pretty awesome to make. So we expect great things from Soulsby Synths, and I didn't even get a chance to see his hack yesterday!
If you're in London this weekend and want to learn about Arduino ...
Introducing Arduino workshop 28th of June!
What could be better than spending time learning about Arduino, the favourite open source hardware hacking platform for designers, artists and hobbyists.
Join Technology Will Save Us for a 1 day intensive weekend workshop to get you started. Aimed at anyone and everyone who wants to learn the basics of Ardunio, simple electronics and building interactive projects.
This is an introductory level course for beginners.
Over the day we will cover:
- Basic electronic components, and theory.
- Introduction to the Arduino programming environment
- Introduction to the Arduino platform.
- How to use digital inputs (switches) and outputs (lights and motors)
- How to use analog inputs (sensors) and outputs (light brightness & motor speed)
- How to wire up and use sensors with your ideas
- How to make lights (LEDs) turn on and off, fade up and down, and generally blink at your command.
- How to make motors spin. Then its up to you to take it to the next level and start building your own projects!
There are 2 types of tickets:
- With Full Ardunio Kit: which gets you your own Arduino board and kit, complete with LEDs, sensors, motors, electronic components and more to take home.
- Workshop only: No kit will be supplied. You're welcome to bring your own kit and selection of components. Or if you need to borrow something, let us know and we will arrange to have Arduino's and components to loan to you.
- What do I need to bring?
- Your own Laptop!
- What else do I need?
To install the Arduino software before you arrive at the class. Download and installation instructions can be found here http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage
Recap of details:
10:00am -- 5pm (6hrs to get your Arduino on with a 1 hour lunch break. There will be coffee breaks too. Optional drinks afterwards. Either BYOAK (Bring your own Arduino Kit) or get starter kit as a part of the ticket. All prices Include all VAT.

Synthino Demo at Maker Faire 2014 (video)
Looks like a nice synth in the same sort of space as the Bastl Instruments units and also the ATmegatron as well.
You can find out a bit more (but mainly and email sign up page) here at their site.
Looking at the ATmegatron from Soulsby Synths
When I went to interview Mr Soulsby I got him to demo his excellent synth at the same time.
Hope you enjoy it.

Palm Sounds interviews Paul Soulsby about the ATmegatron Synth
I really enjoyed talking to Paul about his synth the ATmegatron, how he developed the concept and brought the idea to life.
Want to make an Arduino out of paper? Here's how
This is just such a cool idea. Follow the links to see how at Makezine and for the original Paperduino too.
Via Makezine.
How can they do this? Now there's going to be an Arduino module for littleBits!
Arduino Day 2014: Books - Getting Started with Arduino by Massimo Banzi
This book is a little more expensive, but then it's written by Massimo himself, so i think that's only to be expected.
Arduino is the open-source electronics prototyping platform that’s taken the design and hobbyist world by storm. This thorough introduction, updated for Arduino 1.0, gives you lots of ideas for projects and helps you work with them right away. From getting organized to putting the final touches on your prototype, all the information you need is here!
Inside, you’ll learn about:
- Interaction design and physical computing
- The Arduino hardware and software development environment
- Basics of electricity and electronics
- Prototyping on a solderless breadboard
- Drawing a schematic diagram
Getting started with Arduino is a snap. To use the introductory examples in this guide, all you need an Arduino Uno or earlier model, along with USB A-B cable and an LED. The easy-to-use Arduino development environment is free to download.
Join hundreds of thousands of hobbyists who have discovered this incredible (and educational) platform. Written by the co-founder of the Arduino project, Getting Started with Arduino gets you in on all the fun!
This book is $9.99, but it is written by the man himself, so I think it's worth it.
Arduino Day 2014: Books - Arduino Projects
Arduino Projects gives you full step-by-step instructions for 46 amazing things to do with Arduino, from simple to sophisticated. Learn how to build a Ghostbusters proton pack, automate your coffee roaster, decode mag strips, play lasertag, and even control your indoor garden! All projects come from Instructables.com, are written by DIY Arduino experts, and contain pictures for each step so you can easily do it yourself. Take (micro)control of your life!
This book is only $1.99 on the app store.
Arduino Day 2014: Arduino Companion (universal)
This might be a useful tool if you're getting started with Arduino.
Arduino Companion is an app for designed to help anyone getting into Arduino and electronics. The app contains the full Arduino Reference for offline use, as well as a handy resistor calculator.
Version 1.1 adds the two most requested features, but feel free to suggest any features you feel is missing or would like added.
And, the app is free.
