Tomasz Węgrzanowski shows you step by step how to control iTunes with Wii Nunchunk using Arduino. Also, in the article you will learn about AppleScript that is used to control the function in iTunes such as increase/decrease volume and more.
Here’s my latest project. It involves way too many technologies for the sole purpose of controlling iTunes with Wii Nunchuck. Signal flow is almost uni-directional, so let’s go from step by step from the Nunchuck to iTunes.

Mikrokopters is a popular R/C toy which is a multi-copters that use I2C bus to control the electronic speed controller(ESC). 13brv3, a member on rcgroups developed this I2C to PWM converter using Arduino mini to use with his Turnigy Plush 18A ESCs with 128 throttle steps available. [link]

I don’t know what is the meaning of hacking in this article? But, it is quite interesting to read for getting new ideas.
Arduino is cool. It’s cool because it’s a tiny device - about three inches by two inches - that comes with a USB port and a programmable chip. It’s cool because you can program it using a very simple programming language known as Wiring.But most of all, it’s cool because the entire reference design for the hardware is available under a Creative Commons licence, so you’re free to build your own if you want to.
This is a mini-series about Arduino. There are two parts of this article part 1 | part 2

Here is an interesting hack for using with robotic project. I never know before that wii nunchuck can connect directly to Arduino using I2C.

With a little hacking, data can be read from a wii nunchuck directly into an Arduino, using TWI (aka I2C). The nunchuck contains a 3 axis accelerometer, joystick and buttons for only $19.95. The same accelerometer in kit form, cost $34.95 at Sparkfun. Plus the nunchuck is already wired up in a nice clean case! So the wii nunchuck should fit nicely into anyones robotic project.
