Arduino Projects of the Web
I just got my arduino kit in the mail yesterday from the free day (also known as break my f5 key day). I stayed up all night toying with some infrared lights. I removed the infrared sensor from my craptacular logitech webcam and the fun began.
The first thing I noticed from hooking up a few hundred ir leds (best $5 spent on ebay) was the heat the board was producing. This makes me consider dusting off the nerd kit and hooking up the TX/RX to the nerd kit and have 1/4 of the leds on the nerd kit and some of the data processing working there.
My end goal is to make a tablet, but right now I'm just toying with a desk sized white board.
Too bad that the #1 project (Arduino driving on 2 wheels like a segway) was last updated in 2008 :(
Would be great if the author keeps working on the project and the Arduino2Lego library

OMG! New favorite site - Hack N Mod is incredible!

There's a fellow in Iowa using an Arduino as part of a GPS guidance system he developed for his tractor.

Last I checked, he had his variance from ideal track down to 1.5 inches. Interesting read.
