MAKE Flickr photo pool member Steven and Sarah write – “Exploring micro-controllers with the Arduino NG development system. Seen here running in standalone mode with a 9V battery. Arduino makes embedded programming fun and easy by bringing together a clean and simple hardware and software development environment.

Here, I’m messing with reading analog input from a 10k potentiometer and PWM (pulse width modulation) of leds to produce variable brightness.”Link.
