JoyLite Maze (Build It!)
Contest Entry by Joe Cochran
In another project, I created a way to control a 8×8 RGB Matrix using an Atari Joystick. While waiting for one of the components to arrive, I had an idea that a maze could be constructed on the RGB Matrix and a user could go through the maze with a joystick.

Arduino/ioBridge internet controlled Christmas lights and music show (Build It!)
Arduino Build It! contest entry by: Noel Portugal My xmas-box project consists of an internet controlled Christmas lights and music show. A Christmas song can be requested on-line which is then put in a queue and played in the order it was requested. The music is transmitted on an FM station within a 300 ft radius from [...]
Connecting a 7-segment LED to the Arduino (Build It)
Fun with Arduino contest entry submitted by Jeff.
For a while now I’d been interested in things like networked objects and gps/location-awareness, and I think that soon enough we’re going to see a lot of ‘intelligent objects’ out and about in the world.
I love the idea of being able to actually build something like that, but [...]
Silly String Shooting Spider (Build It)
Contest Entry by Todd Harrison
I had great fun this Halloween with a silly string shooting spider! My plan was to use an Arduino micro-controller developer board to control my son’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle” RC car that already shoots silly string. I didn’t get the spider to actually squirt the silly string but when you’re looking at [...]

Setup: It’s all pretty basic. The arduino controlled the PIR motion sensor, the servos [...]
