"A lot of people asked if we could enable wireless streaming for it. I was personally very excited about that since I have been playing with the thought for quite a while, so when the official camera module for the Raspberry Pi became available I bought it straight away."

"My original plan for a final project, way back in week 1, was to build a internet-connected drum that counted politically sensitive numbers….However, after struggling for a week and a half…we gave up on Saturday night. [Instead we implemented] something akin to a VOIP over Internet Zero – the thinnest, cheapest digital audio communication possible."

"I have been searching for ideas of making a Quadcopter Arduino flight controller Adapter to sit my Arduino nano board and the GY80, also have some header pins for motors and receiver to make the cabling tidy. There are a lot of Arduino shields people have designed for the Quadcopter. I didn’t follow any of the designs. I actually didn’t follow any planned design and solder the parts on the veroboard as I go along."

"A geekish clock using a single 8-pin AVR microcontroller that tells the time with LEDs in binary for each decimal digit, much like the famous ones from ThinkGeek, but with some exclusive features such as couting in Gray code."

"The circuit was build with microcontroller ATmega8.
Here, I’m extending the same circuit to control the DC motor with IR remote control. The motor is fitted on a toy car wheels with gears, as shown in the figure above."

"The 2009 Robot Rally spotlighted all the flaws that result from a quick 3 week engineering and building project. Time saving shortcuts in code and hardware bit my butt several times. Failed edge detectors – Ouch! Failed beacon tracker … chomp! Ow! Line follower reversal – Arrrg! I’m happy to report I’ve investigated all the issues that cropped up and fixed them all."

"This is a quick guide with a bit of extra info that I’ve learnt along the way on how to use the L293D with the Arduino, showing that we can: A) Use a supplemental power source to power the DC motor, B) Use the L293D chip to drive the motor, C) Use a switch to change the direction of the motor."

Here is another twist on the POV clock idea, a POV globe. Although project details are sparse, the creater of this awesome POV glove has put up many detailed photos of his design along with videos of it in action to give you a feel for how it works. A very interesting project!
