Wow, this could grow into something quite awesome. Pachube is – a web service that enables people to tag and share real time sensor data from objects, devices and spaces around the world, facilitating interaction between remote environments, both physical and virtual. The idea is to make it relatively simple to “plug” together interactive projects […]

The Drum Master project uses sensor filter circuits with the Arduino platform and sends the data over USB for sample playback – The Drum Master system is actually comprised of two parts. The hardware brain module (containing the Arduino microcontroller and a collection of circuits to assist in obtaining the sensor information) is called the […]

Sparky the art-robot responds to air quality, movement, and touch by collapsing his body in relative amounts – indicating quality of environment. Sparking responds negatively to: carbon monoxide, cigarette smoke, alcohol, too much dark lighting, hitting and yelling. Any of the above factors (depending on severity) makes Sparky drop it’s head and tail, whimper, and […]

This project uses a Boarduino (breadboardable arduino) + Parallax ping (ultrasonic sensor) to achieve the near-ninja sword-catching grabbiness seen above. Hearing that *crank* noise sure brings me back – those toy claws were always much simple fun! – boarduino robot claw[via] Related: The chimney claw Boarduino – Breadboard-compatible Arduino clone
