UNO R4 Stars: Meet Clatters Machines

The launch of the Arduino UNO R4 marks an enormous leap ahead for our group. For us, it’s additionally the prospect to rejoice the individuals who convey our ecosystem to life with their vivid concepts, radiant enthusiasm, and shining perception.

That’s how the UNO R4 Stars weblog put up sequence started: to focus on makers who haven’t solely created superb tasks with Arduino, however who’re giving again to the group by sharing as they go and serving to others make something they need.

We invite you to find every profile, hoping you would possibly discover a North Star to navigate round an increasing galaxy or enterprise into fully new universes.

Clatters Machines creates “noisy machines for music lovers” – handmade digital musical devices that flip know-how into sound waves. The corporate was co-founded by Carolina Guidi and Michelangelo Nasso, introduced collectively by a singular ardour for sound and for making what may very well be a large number of cables, wires, and knobs look actually cool. 

Guidi, particularly, is answerable for visible branding and product design – which makes for nice eye sweet on their Instagram wall! – whereas Nasso’s favourite a part of the job is prototyping and testing the modules, fueled by his ardour for {hardware} and software program engineering.

Arduino has all the time performed an important function within the duo’s explorations, and later, of their work. Guidi found the model throughout a college workshop: she says she was shocked to seek out out that placing collectively a number of parts on a breadboard may very well be really easy and accessible – “all it’s good to fear about is your individual creativity.” 

Nasso bought his first style of Arduino a bit earlier, shortly realizing the way it made plenty of his concepts nearer to actuality than he thought, even earlier than he acquired the engineering expertise he would develop throughout college. 

It’s not by likelihood that their very first product, the Pocket Backyard Listener, was “all designed, prototyped and examined with an Arduino UNO,” and that they’ve fond recollections of the expertise.

The embodiment of how inventive aptitude and engineering mastery can come collectively superbly, Clatters Machines takes satisfaction in inspiring “individuals who play and love music, with merchandise that begin proper right here, from an authentic thought:” isn’t that the essence of creating?

We requested Guidi and Nasso, “What’s your favourite a part of the UNO R4?”

• Its thrilling potential, which opens as much as infinite new prospects – similar to the very first Arduino UNO did for the numerous makers who began with it! 
• The massive leap ahead it represents for anybody working in prototyping, because of the upgraded tech specs.
• The way it “ramps up every thing that made Arduino the model it’s at present.’
