Dalek dome animation, putting it all together...
2 Xbee modules provide high speed wireless communication between my laptop and the dome.
An Arduino receives the instructions and passes them to a servo (eye blink), a Sabertooth motor controller (dome rotate / eye elevate), or a optoisolator/TIP142 darlington array to switch the low voltage lighting in the 'ears'.
The whole thing is controlled from a simple application written in C#
First test run of the embedded laser harp prototype. Using a 400mw laser and Arduino microprocessor to drive the galvanometers and detect the reflected light from the players hands.
Give your gadgets a brain! Previously out of reach for the do-it-yourselfer, the tiny computers called microcontrollers are now so cheap and easy to use that anyone can make their stuff smart. It's called "physical computing" -- with a microcontroller, your gadget can sense the environment, talk to the internet or other gadgets, and make things happen in the real world by controlling motors, lights, or any electronic device. The Arduino is an easy-to-use microcontroller board -- it's like an R&D lab on your kitchen table for prototyping any gadget. We show you how to make one, and how to use Arduinos and other microcontrollers to make an automatic yogurt maker, a vintage Skype telephone, a gumball machine that recognizes your secret knock, and more. Plus, make a Helicopter Rocket, portable solar power pack, gourmet Sous Vide food cooker, treadmill desk, and more fun DIY projects.

The DFRobotShop Rover -- Arduino Compatible Tracked Robot (Basic Kit) is a versatile mobile robot tank based on the popular Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller. The Rover uses the popular Tamiya twin motor gearbox and the Tamiya track and wheel set. The DFRobotShop Rover PCB incorporates a standard Arduino Duemilanove (surface mount ATMega328), L293B motor driver (connected to pins 5 to 8), voltage regulator and prototyping area while contributing to the mechanical structural of the robot. There is a shrot clip of the DFRobotShop Rover at the end of the video going over rocky terrain.

At interaction10 in Savannah, Massimo Banzi (co-founder of Arduino and CTO of tinker.it) demonstrated the TinkerKit in a hands-on workshop. We caught up with one of the participants, Joel Linderman, and played around with some of the sensors.
http://s-educator.org/arduino-page/ this is my solar power system build from evergreen solarcells from ebay and 'garbage' components. My solar power system data is logged by arduino solardatalogger with web interface
Dorkbot Bristol (http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotbristol/) shows off its Arduino-powered musical bike (http://code.google.com/p/pisanomatic). Each note is triggered by polystyrene blocks passing through a motion sensor. You could do a two-wheeled version that would reward riding with a song.
http://s-educator.org lige startet med at eksperimentere med solar tracker og har lavet denne lille test, koden til arduino kan findes på siden. Det er et 'for-eksperiment', inspireret af en youtube film, se meget mere om arduino og solar power
Instead of chaining multiple guitar effects in search of a new sound, I decided to mod just one. Using an Arduino microcontroller board + digi-pot chip, I was able to add a variable gating effect to a fuzz pedal.

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators.
Use an Arduino microcontroller to sense invisible electromagnetic fields using wire, a resistor, and an LED.
Aaron ALAI's EMF detector project is awesomely simple to make and fun to use. An upgraded version can be built using an LED bargraph for more 'meter-like' functionality.

Today, I am going to show you how easy it is to connect, and use, a Memsic 2125 Accelerometer from the Maker Shed. This sensor is able to detect tilt, acceleration, rotation, and vibration with a range of ±2 g. It can be used for making balancing robots, game controllers, musical instruments and more. I'll get you started...what you do next is up to you!
I stopped by Eyebeam in NYC on Tuesday to chat with Tom Igoe about the new Arduino MEGA and few other projects that he is working on. I took a quick video and some pictures of the new board to share with our readers.

Get started with the LilyPad Arduino! It's a sewable microcontroller that lets you embed lights, sounds, sensors, and much more into your wearables, perfect for clothing and accessories. In this video I'll show you how to attach the LilyPad and power supply to each other, and upload a basic program that blinks an LED. Next time I'll show some more advanced topics including hooking up a sensor and using it to change the circuit's behavior.
This week I am going to cover using another basic part, the potentiometer. I will also cover connecting a servo to the Arduino. Servos can be hard to control, but not with the Arduino! That's just another reason I love this little micro-controller.

This week I am starting a series about getting started with the Arduino. This time it's all about blinking an LED. It's a great first project. You can read more at makezine.com
This is my first successful attempt at driving a stepper motor from an Arduino Card. This has been a relatively cheap project which has taught me a great deal about different types of steppers and how to wire them up. My next project will be using a mini servo. After that, I will move on to a more advanced type of stepper control interface.
This is my first attempt at an Arduino Sketch. An Arduino Sketch is basically a prototype of some code that can be uploaded to an Arduino Card that in turn, can run various electrical devices (Light Emitting Diodes in this case). An Arduino Card is hobbyists micro controller mounted on a board. It's basically a simplified computer that can be hard coded through the use of human readable programming languages.
