Using Fans with Arduino - Other Projects

The use of Fans with the Arduino seems to actually be a highly popular form of input. Many designers have used the same type of fans (albeit smaller, so they're easier to blow) that UAF is using to give input to the Ardunio, instead of the Ardunio outputting to the Fan. Here are some interesting examples that use Fans and the Arduino to control lighting...





The designer behind these pieces seems to have taken the same train of thought as I have with UAF, where he thought of an alternative use of the Fan, to make it an input device rather than an output device.
