Dan Thompson has released his Servo Tools Python plug-in for Maya. This is really exciting for me as a Maya user, because I can now rig and animate an object in software and drive a real-world servo plugged into an Arduino. Thanks Dan, I can’t wait to try it!
Instructables user mrigsby writes: The Flock Clock uses male and female drinking birds to display time. Binary addition of the female birds (left to right) yields the hour. Binary addition of the male birds (multiplied by five) yields the minute–within five minutes. An Arduino processor provides the signals needed to drive Peltier cells which heat […]
Drew Crawford made this excellent-sounding piezo speaker sound library for the Arduino. A demonstration of the library in action starts at 3 minutes into the above video, and the library can be downloaded from his code repository.
