Morning Monster

morning-monster-digital-alarm-clock

This cool digital alarm clock submitted to me by Nick Hardeman. Nick writes:

The Morning Monster is a plush electronic alarm clock. He has all of the normal alarm functions, set time, set alarm, snooze, etc. However, what makes him a monster is his ability to shine the sun on your face when the alarm goes off by opening the blinds. The blinds are also manually controlled my moving his left arm up and down and he will never over-crank them!

There are other projects submitted by Nick Hardeman such Nove Bit and Theremin Style Instrument. Thanks Nick Hardeman. [link]

Paperduino

2009

paperduino

Here is an excellent idea to make an Arduino board without PCB.

This is a 100% functional version of the Arduino. We eliminate the PCB and use paper and cardboard as support and the result is.. the PAPERduino :D

This is the the first version of the layout design, next we will try more designs, and another materials. You just need to print the top and the bottom layout, and glue them to any kind of support you want. We hope that you start making your own boards. If you do, please share your photos with us, we would love to see them ;)

I love this idea.  [link] | [via]

Arduino-based Etch-A-Sketch

arduino-based-etch-a-sketch

Using the graphical programming language Processing and an Arduino microcontroller, Trevor Shannon built himself a software-based Etch-A-Sketch. The Arduino reads the input from two potentiometers and then through a serial connection, lines are produced on a computer screen. Over time, the lines disappear, just like a real Etch-A-Sketch. A simple, yet intuitive way of using the Arduino to build a project and the knobs are made from an old iTunes gift card.[link] | [via]

Carolina - The urban scarecrow

carolina-the-urban-scarecrowPaola sent me a cool scarecrow project based on Arduino. But more details on the website  please . Paola writes:

The goal is create a musical urban Scarecrow for rooftop gardens to avoid pigeons. As the cost of foods keep rising, more and more people are setting up little gardens to grow their own tomatoes, strawberries and herbs.
