(and Merry Xmas as well)

Hey everyone! I hope you guys had a great break and got lots of stuff done (robo or otherwise). I could definitely do with another week before going back to work but ah well… I need to make money somehow and my investments in CitiGroup and Ford seem to not be tracking as well as I would like

I have been out of the country and away from my computer for most of the break but today I finally found some time to whip a project together. It’s very simple but fun and might interested someone starting out with microcontrollers (in this case it is using a “Bare Bones Board” Arduino clone as the controller) and sensors.

I’ll have to post the actual article tomorrow as I have put together a quick video intro for it and my vid software has decided that rendering black screens instead of video is the way to go.

Here’s a sneak preview of the finished project… Can you tell that I made it in 20 mins??? (ok 25 mins).
