The Complete Beginners Guide to the Arduino is, aside from being well worth the price, an excellent learning resource. I highly recommend it, check the website out here:
The Internet of Things

There’s a very interesting paper here about some further ideas in “the internet of things” from the Hammersmith Group. Check it out.
Make:Electonics by Charles Platt
Saturday, 23 January 2010
I want to recommend this book as highly as I can: clear, well-illustrated, well-written, informative, intelligent, fun, and full of neat stuff. I actually feel twinges of jealousy reading through it. Platt walks you through Ohms law all the way up to 555 timer chips, sound distortion, and picaxe controllers. It’s awesome. If you’re [...]
openFrameworks code samples
Thursday, 21 January 2010
Yes, they are all broken because of the addons. No, there’s not really anything I can do about it at this point. The addons changed after I wrote the book and until there’s a second edition, it’s a glaring eyesore and believe something I rue daily. However, there’s plenty that you can do! On XCode [...]
Updates to two code samples
Friday, 11 December 2009
The first is the edge detection example from Chapter 10, located here
The second is the code from the tracking application which, for some reason, has disappeared from the O’Reilly site. That’s

Enjoy
If Bruce Nauman made a video game…

There’s been a small change to the source for the second example of Chapter 13, creating some rotating cubes. The new source is listed below:

Arduino VirtualWire
Saturday, 28 November 2009
The Arduino community continues to wow me! Check out this tutorial for using the VirtualWire libraries to communicate between two Arduino controllers over distance. The author uses it to send messages from an Arduino in his basement to another on the roof of his house. Pretty slick and much more lightweight (though perhaps slightly slower) [...]
Slides from my talk at Lycoming College

These are the slides from a talk I gave last week at Lycoming College in Williamsport PA. Enjoy!
A very cool AVR project
Wednesday, 4 November 2009
Rossum asks: “Can you make an iPhone out of an AVR? No. Can you get a surprising amount of functionality out of a humble 8 bit processor and a cheap touch LCD? Yes.”
and here’s the result

It’s really awesome work!
