As far as I know, this is the first Arduino-based monome compatible, and perhaps the first third-party monome-compatible device of any kind. Nice work! Hit the link for an in-depth explanation.

This is funny, someone made an O’Reilly book generator with the familiar animals from the books series (O’Reilly is the publisher of MAKE)
LED Throwies were published here on Instructables.com on Feb. 14, 2006 by Q-Branch of the GRL. This simple, elegant project spawned a minor LED revolution: from Instructables like the LED Throwie Floatie, Talkie, Rat, and motion-sensor to the weird mash-up of art and advertising in the Boston Mooninite scare, it’s clear that anyone can make […]
MAKE Flickr Pool member Funax made an Arduino-compatible board powered by a single AAA battery. A step-up converter is used to boost the battery’s 1.5V output to 5V and meet Arduino’s minimum power requirements. Keep in mind – this circuit would considerably reduce current supplied to the board and therefore limit its ability to power […]
Rich writes about a proposal which would require permission to own a Geiger counter in NYC (pictured here the USB one I used to measure radiation on a plane). Post your thoughts in the comments. Rich writes – So I find this attempt by the City of New York to regulate sensors to be fascinating. […]
This is a great way to recycle those old cordless phones into something really useful and in only 5 relatively easy steps. Here we are going to make a simple radio controlled device using supplies from your local dumpster. This project should cost less than a dollar to make. If you spend more than a […]
Synth designer Ray Wilson is now selling kits for his “Weird Sound Generator Reborn” standalone instrument module. It’s a quick build and makes for some very cool noises. There’s even professional-grade front panels available for use on the enclosure. Ray’s site is a great resource for learning about synthesizers and electronics in general. His circuits […]
