 | Twitter Robot makes Popcorn, starts a Movie
Imagine this... On your way home from work, you send the Twitter command "Prep movie 15″, to your robot. Your robot reads the command, waits for a bit, pops some corn and starts a movie. Build your own twitter powered... |
 | Magnetic Levitation using the Arduino
This great project uses the a soleniod's magnetic coil, a Hall sensor, and Arduino to perfectly levitate a magnet. The Hall sensor detects the field of the permanent magnet and uses that information to modulate the magnetic field of the... |
 | Hack Twitter to Control Electronics
Twitter has become one of the most popular social media sites, but its uses extend far beyond the world of the internet. By, interfacing physical hardware with Twitter these projects have created fantastic hacks allowing electronics to react to... |
 | Top 40 Arduino Projects of the Web
Since we love the ever-popular Arduino, we've scoured the vast reaches of the interweb and unearthed the best Arduino projects just for you. The Arduino is an open source programming platform which allows you to easily control electronics with a... |
 | Automatic Head Tracking with Arduino
We've seen some infrared head tracking before and now it has been accomplished using the Arduino. The demo video above shows its interactivity with a flight simulator. Some modification to the code means this can be adapted for first... |
 | Use the Wii and iPhone to Control an RC car
This fantastic video demonstrates the use of the wiimote, wii balance board, and iPhone to control an RC car. For data transmission, an Arduino is used to communicate between devices. Learn how to do this yourself in a future post -... |
 | Make a UAV Spyplane Using the Arduino
With a handful of servos, battery pack, GPS unit, and the Arduino programmer you can build your own unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) drone. It's an absolutely outstanding project complete with a detailed, 22 page tutorial to guide you through the... |
 | Gmail and RSS Notifiers using the Arduino
By programming the Arduino and having it communicate to the web through your computer's serial port, you can create your own physical notifier which alerts you when you receive email or when an RSS news feed is updated. It can even update you of... |
 | Electronics Filled, Arduino Powered Room
Using sensors, an old PC, LCD screen, lots of sensors and few X10 home automation parts, one man built a mini-house in his backyard packed full of electronics. The house also features a flickering LED fireplace and a Disneyland-like magic... |
 | Arduino Keypad Security System
Using the endless powers of the Arduino, one man built a keypad entry security system using the Arduino and some servo motors. The project also uses a speaker to verify the door is locked. Luckily, the project has detailed build... |
