Our second Arduino project in this series of Weekend Projects, the Sun Logger is a device that gathers data about sunlight. Hack a light-sensitive photoresistor to a homemade “shield” to record data to an SD card, and then examine this data later on your computer to see how light changes in an area over time.

Using a combination of low- and high-tech components, we’ll show you how to build a completely touchless 3D tracking interface. This project will introduce you to the principle of capacitive sensing, and the Arduino microcontroller.

Measuring brainwaves is not just for neuroscientists anymore — new affordable consumer-level EEG devices (and even some toys) do a respectable job at measuring tiny voltage pulses given off by neurons firing in the brain.
Cool — but how shall we use these newfound sensory powers? To automatically compose electronic music, of course!

The Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) turns bits into waves using a surprisingly simple circuit built from little more than a few resistors. Learn how to build your own R-2R DAC and use it to generate waveforms with a microcontroller.
Matt Richardson shows how you can use an old MP3 player to convert a cigar box into an electronic music box. This project makes a wonderful, customized gift for someone you love.
