Sean’s Arduino Experiments (Roundup)

Over the last year (a little longer) I’ve been tinkering with Arduino. Building various circuits, learning how to solder (burning myself), etc. I attended a really cool workshop at METRIX CREATE:SPACE in Seattle the other night. (If you’re in the Seattle area I highly recommend checking them out, the place is too cool for words!) The workshop got me pretty jazzed on Arduino dev again so I decided to gather up a bunch of links to my various explorations into the exciting world of hardware hacking.

So here’s some links to photos, videos, blog posts, etc. I actually gave a presentation for FlexMania Brazil on Arduino and Flex/AS3 dev/communication. I don’t have the recording of the session yet. Once I get it I’ll be sure to post it. (Igor??)

If you haven’t checked out or played around with Arduino I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s really cheap to get started and loads of fun!!!

My next big project will be to build the Robot that the workshop I attended got everyone geared up for. Here’s a picture of the robot.

If you want to get started with Arduino I’d recommend the Budget Pack and Experimentation Kit from adafruit.com to get started with Arduino development. Also check out as3glue when you want to start working on Flex/AS3 to Arduino communication. It’s fun stuff!!! Check it out!!!

Anyway here’s a bunch of links to various stuff I’ve been working on over the past year.
