Hacker Trifecta: iPad, Arduino, kegerator combined in single device

John Boiles, whose extracurricular exploits as an undergraduate at UT Austin brought us iPhone-controlled dance floor lights, R/C cars, and yes, even full-size automobiles, has since moved to San Francisco and scored a job with Yelp. His latest "spare time" project, with the Yelp Engineering crew, is KegMate--a keg-mounted,… read more

Arduino magstrip emulator

Using not much more than an Arduino, a piece of metal shim, and a bunch of wire, Instructables user sketchsk3tch built this Arduino Magstripe Emulator, which purportedly can spoof a magnetic card reader into thinking a card has been swiped. Quite the MacGyver solution to magstripe hacking... More:Magnetic stripe… read more

LilyPad Arduino pillow

I swear Angela Sheehan and I must have been separated at birth. Her LilyPad Arduino pillow is so awesome, all that's left to do is sew in some components and conductive fabric for a comically large prototyping platform.

What you can do with Processing and Arduino

Building a creation that translates software signals into physical movement brings with it a unique satisfaction. Joseph Gray will be teaching an upcoming O'Reilly course on Processing and Arduino, the aim of which is to allow anyone -- programmers and artists alike -- to create digital art tools with low-cost… read more
