Basically the Arduino serves up a webpage with a bunch of nice javascript code that allows you to select […]
Byron Lahey and other researchers at Arizona State University are working on this all terrain iRobot modification. He writes: Robot Create robots are easily programmable and expandable in their functionality, but can only travel on a very limited varieties of terrain (carpet, hard flat floors and other typical interior domestic surfaces). As part of the […]
Dave over @ PopSci shows you how to build an ambient LED project using an Arduino… Ambient technology is the current rage for presenting information in a unobtrusive and, sometimes, sublime manner. Information suited for an ambient format ranges from complex number-laden data streams to simple one- or two-digit numbers. The idea here is that […]
Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories made these ATmegaxx8 breakout boards that double as business cards. Windell writes: Our design goals for this project were (1) to make a printed circuit board version of the minimalist target board for the ATmega168, encompassing a place for the chip and a connection to the 6-pin ISP header, (2) to […]
