“Description: This spectaculously amazorbing ball that will mesmerise all who look at it, caturday will no longer be the same ! The Specs: There are 384 LEDs all individually controllable and programmable, it is compatible with the freely available Arduino IDE and AVR Studio, comes with sample source code and patterns to get you started, as well as being preprogrammed for instant blinky fun.”

“This project is aimed at generating an VGA monitor (basic 31.5kHz horizontal, 70Hz/400line or 60Hz/480line vertical) compatible video signal, without using an specialised hardware VLSI video generator chip (hardwired limited, not available any more), nor 100s of TTL chips. All is done in software, running as vertical "microcode" on an single Atmel AVR microcontroller chip: an ATmega32, 16MHz, 32k Flash, 2k SRAM, 40pin, 32IOs.”

“The console is designed as platform for learning digital electronics and C#: we’re in the process of writing a book covering all aspects of building the console, how its components work and how to write games for it with our framework.”

“Cade9 is my small embedded project consisting of ATmega32 MCU with custom hardware which I hand soldered on a matrix board. This was my undergraduate 3rd year minor project. It uses the open source cocoOS as scheduler. On top of CADE9 one can implement classic arcade games like snakes, pong, bricks, breakout etc.”

“Awhile back I was working on a project that that I wanted to be able to start music the on my mac through the IR receiver. After a while of looking around I found this library which allows you to use your arduino as an Apple Remote. I integrated it in to my project and it worked great! So the other day I decided to make an Apple Remote shield for my arduino.”

“This project is based on obdev's RemoteSensor and their firmware only USB implementation, the main change is the replacement of the analog sensors with a SHT11 digital temperature and humidity sensor. The sensor unit consists of an ATTiny45 MCU, a SHT11 sensor, and a hoperf RFM12 868 MHz transceiver module. It is powered by 2 AA cells and is expected to give >1 year of battery life.”
