Becky Stern from Make magazine shows us how to make a cool hair band with LED lights. If you want to get this hair band for yourself then you can make one by watching this amazing video and follow the steps! “Build a pulse-sensing headband that flashes a heart-shaped LED display to the beating of your heart! Uses a scratchbuilt perfboard Arduino build from Mintduino parts, the Open Heart
If you know Minecraft you will get a kick out of this Virtual Weather Station for Minecraft Game. This is actually a weather station named “Minestation†which gets the weather data for Minecraft game using a shield to connect to an Arduino which is connected to a PC via USB while you are playing the game. The video is a must watch to review the details of this amazing
Kerry Wong from kerrywong.com shows us how to interface to a MMA8453Q cheap accelerometer using an ATmega328 MCU. There are tons of cool projects out there that are just waiting to be designed using accelerometers! “MMA8453Q uses the I2C protocol, so I assumed that I could use the default Arduino Wire library. Unfortunately, MMA8453Q uses repeated start condition for the read operations and the default Wire library cannot handle
I had never imagined that a SMS can be viewed in such a cool way as shown in this video. This is being done by interfacing the phone to the display using an Arduino. The idea was an adaptation from a girl wanting to create a funky looking costume with a scrolling LED display of live texts sent from people at the party. So if you want to create
I really like to automate everything around me. Adafruit has featured this cool Automated Curtain system which uses an Arduino to handle the control. You can also carry out this idea to bring an innovative change for your house by hiding this arduino based system somewhere behind your curtains.   Via: Adafruit “I built a controller so that I can open and close my curtains from the command line!
An automatic stair lighting system is one which lights each step LED when a user starts to climb or descend.  Erica Kane has developed a similar Open Source DIY Automated LED Stair Lighting system using an Arduino Pro Mini, a M5451 LED Display Driver to power the LEDs and a PING ultrasound distance sensors to detect when someone enters the stairwell. The Eagle schematic file is here and the Arduino Processing
