Arduino

An area of hardware development I am interested in is the Arduino. The Arduino is a piece of programmable hardware that interacts seamlessly with electronic sensors and outputs, and so is the perfect platform to develop experimental implementations.

The small size of the Arduino also makes it a great option for inclusion in actual projects, to make a complete package that doesn't need assembly.

Here are some examples of basic Arduino implementation in different hardware...

Interacting with a Nintendo DS...


Interacting with Flash on a PC...


A self contained "robot" that loops simple movement...


A "wearable" example of human gesture imitation...



These examples show that Arduino is likely to be adaptable enough to be able to be implemented into any possible artefact that I develop.
