Gmail and RSS Notifiers using the Arduino

I’ve been really interested in doing J4mie’s Physical Gmail Notifier ever since it came out in February. I only recently dropped into the project and got to learn a lot about python, plists, and arduino auto-reset functionality. I’m going to share what I’ve learned because I think there are lots of other people out there

A credit card sized Ethernet Arduino compatable controller board using ATmega168 microcontroller

I love the Arduino as a simple and accessible controller platform for many varied projects.  A few months ago, a purchased an Ethernet shield for my Arduino controller to work on some projects with a mate of mine – it was a massive hit – for the first time, I could control my projects remotely

Arduino R/C Lawnmower (painted) using Atmega168 microcontroller

What this is: This instructable will show you how to make your Arduino into an R/C interface that you can use for just about anything requiring remote control. I will also show you how I built an R/C lawnmower using my Arduino, a cheap R/C transmitter and receiver pair, and a couple of electric-wheelchair motors from Ebay.

Control Electronics using an Arduino and Infrared LEDs

Learn how to use infrared LEDs to send signals to your TV and other electronic devices via an Arduino.  First, the Arduino will interpret IR pulses sent out by the TV remote, save them to memory, then “replay” them upon the user’s command. You can use these techniques to make other electronics controllable via IR
