I been thinking about all the little projects I could do with this setup. Here are some public ideas.
- Knight Rider like car, I’ve read some comments online calling for a Carputer. Yes computers already exists in cars, but this one would be one you build and customize.
- Christmas lights synced to music, couple years ago I came across a video of Christmas Lights playing to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra – Christmas Eve Sarajevo. I am planning to do something similar this Christmas.
- How about an interactive game for Halloween?
- MAME or some other emulator.
Got so much ideas, don’t want to publicly list them, I want to patent them first :-), look at the shields available for Arduino, then imagine integrating it with Linux. Think relays, actuators, wireless, infrared.
What can you read? Temperature , moisture, on off buttons?
What actions can you do? Turn on lights, send an email, calculate something?
What logic do you need? Voice recognition, image display?
Wow, the possibilities are many.
Anyway, too excited, gonna do some pushups and situps and call it a day.
