I absolutely love this video posted by Jessica Wolpert. It’s (3) eleven-year-old girls working on an Arduino project. It looks like the final project is a “mouse alert system” that blinks the eyes of the cat when the mouse gets too close. I am so happy to see kids experimenting with electronics and micro-controllers. Are you working with kids on any electronics projects? If so, please post them in the comments so we can write about it! Thanks!

I found this Arduino project really interesting and educational. They used several different techniques to get everything to work properly. I love the disclaimer of “way too many technologies”. How true! However, it’s not always about the practicality of a project, as much as it’s about the process and documentation.
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.
