I’ve decided to keep a list of sites and articles that provide instructions for building Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects. Below you will find a list of the sites I visit when searching for ideas and answers.
As I find new resources I will update this article. If you have a resource you’d like added please leave a comment below.
Simple Arduino Projects
| SITE | ARTICLE INFORMATION |
|---|---|
| Arduino PIR Sensor Tutorial | PIR Motion Sensor with Arduino | In this project, we will learn about PIR Sensor and how can it be used as a Motion Sensor through the Arduino PIR Sensor Tutorial. By going through this project, you can understand how PIR Sensor works and how to hook up a PIR Sensor to Arduino. |
| Real Time Clock and Arduino | There are many applications where a real time clock (RTC) is of use for display, data logging with date/time stamp, etc. When you find yourself needing a RTC for your project, this article will help guide you to completion. There are many, probably thousands, of articles on RTC’s and how to interface them with an Arduino. My goal is to bring the best of that information into a single place for you to use as a reference. |
| DIY RGB LED Matrix | In this project, we will see how to make an RGB LED Matrix using simple components. LED Matrix is one of the popular Arduino projects among several DIY and hobby projects. An RGB LED Matrix is one such project which many students and hobbyists put it on their to-do list of Arduino Projects. |
| Arduino 7 Segment Display Interface | In this project, we will learn about 7 Segment Displays and see how the Arduino 7 Segment Display Interface works. 7 Segment Display or Seven Segment Display is one of the simplest display devices that can be connected to Arduino or any microcontroller. |
| Arduino 8×8 LED Matrix | In this project, we will learn about LED Matrix Displays and two different projects on Arduino 8×8 LED Matrix Interface. The first project will be a simple interface between Arduino and 8X8 LED Matrix to display information (even scrolling information and images can be displayed) and the second project will be an advanced project where the 8×8 LED Matrix is controlled through an Android device. |
| Arduino DC Motor Control using L298N Motor Driver | In this project, we will see how to control a DC Motor using Arduino and L298N Motor Driver. There are different ways to control a DC Motor but the Arduino DC Motor Control using L298N Motor Driver is becoming quite popular for many reasons. |
Sites with Arduino and Raspberry Pi Project Ideas
| SITE | COMMENTS (SITE/ARTICLE INTRO) | |
|---|---|---|

| electronicsforu.com Arduino Projects | | We compiled a list of Arduino projects that would be cool to design. If you have an Arduino lying around or are planning to buy one, these should come in handy. All you need is an Arduino board and some basic electronics supplies. |
| Electronics Hub Arduino Projects | | 200+ Arduino Projects List For Final Year Students |
| hackster.io | | Hackster is a community dedicated to learning hardware, from beginner to pro. |
| MagPi Magazine | | MagPi Magazine is a free digital download and each edition has many projects. |
| oddWires Arduino Project Ideas | | Hundreds of project ideas for Arduino. Note, there may be a large advertisement at the top of the page, scroll down past that to see the list of project ideas. |
| Raspberry Pi Projects | | The official Raspberry Pi Projects site. |
If you have a site you’d like listed here, please leave a comment and I will get it added.
New to Arduino?
If you are new to Arduino development and are interested in a complete starter kit, I recommend the DRDUINO Arduino UNO Starter Kit. I use mine often to test new ideas and prototype solutions. Take a look at my review of DRDUINO and get yours today!
