Motoruino, an Arduino-compatible robot board
Guilherme Martins wanted a simple Arduino-compatible board that he could use as a robotics platform, so he designed one.

Android-powered Garduino remote control
I then wrote a spiffy little Android app that pairs up to the BlueSMiRF, reads the state dumped from the Arduino every 3 seconds, and then makes a pretty little Android UI. It shows me a Sun, Moon, or Clock depending on which state the Arduino is in.
Neat visualizer built using simple circuit
Flickr user zeni666 made this neat visualizer using an Arduino, oscilloscope, and homemade resistor ladder.
Finland’s first book about Arduino on Finnish National TV
Tero Karvinen, one of the authors of Sulautetut, a Finnish book about embedded prototyping, was featured on Finnish National Television along with the book. Tero was kind enough to send along a translation of the interview, which starts at around 4 minutes in to the video above.
Control your iPod with ease using the iPod Serial library
Last year, Dave Findlay built a simple Arduino-based iPod remote to make it easy to start and stop his music while in the car.
Blink LEDs at 2x speed with overclocked, liquid-cooled Arduino
Like making blinky light projects, but not able to pump enough performance out of those measly 8 bit instructions on your Arduino?
Turning a motor into a sensor with the Peppermill
Nicolas Villar sent me a sample of the PepperMill, a new sensor board he and Steve Hodges designed at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK. It’s a nifty little board. You attach a DC motor and the board can an output voltage when the motor is turned, and analog signals telling you the direction and speed of the motor. It turns a DC motor into a rotary encoder, of sorts.
