Friday fun: Arduino Rumble Robots

Do you have an old toy robot lying around that you feel like dropping an Arduino in and then let loose around the house? Well then this video from makemagazine is for you:



Here is the URL to DinoFab (http://www.dinofab.com/), and in case you haven't memorized it by now here is the URL for the Arduino homepage (http://www.arduino.cc/)

You may also be interested in this post on Slashdot about the Arduino, and why it has become such a big hit with hobbyists. The post itself was inspired by this Makemagazine blog post:

Why the Arduino Won and Why It’s Here to Stay.

The Makemagazine post makes an excellent point as to why the Arduino is becoming so successful.

That's it for now, and as always feel free to comment or drop me a line if you are interested in the Arduino.

Take care and have a great weekend ~ Jim

Friday fun: Arduino 101 potentiometers and servos

So how's my Arduino project going? It's not :( I've been buried at work and I am still dragged down by this cold that I have been fighting for over three weeks now. Yeah, I know.... excuses, excuses. Hopefully this video from makemagazine will get me moving:



Here is the URL for the Arduino homepage: http://www.arduino.cc/ Feel free to comment or drop me a line if you are interested in the Arduino, and especially if you are have or are working on an Arduino based weather station.

Take care and have a great weekend ~ Jim
