Exciting to see our WiiFit Arduino powered Robotic Labyrinth come in at #14. Its been two weeks since the YouTube video hit it big.

We’re going bigger too with our Science City Robotic Labyrinth project going to 12 foot long. You can check it out on:

Load your Diecimila with Simple Message System from the archives at arduino.cc and use my linux shell script package to make a general-purpose controller. Easy to write your own shellscripts for any project. Maximum flexibility. Get the tar package from http://user.cavenet.com/rolandl, called SMS1.tgz. Full IO & PWM control. AD is scaled to mV and formatted for import to most spreadsheets. GUI via xdialog. I am using reed relays connected directly to the IO pins: elexp.com #22RD5, a buck and change each.
