Here's the custom cable I use to program William's EMSBC Arduino from my USB Arduino. I'll eventually replace the yellow jumper (+5V) with a long wire.
You can either run wires between the BlinkM and Arduino, like on a solderless breadboard, as in (a), or you can plug the Arduino in directly as in (b). BlinkM plugs into the Arduino's pins 2,3,4,5. You can use the BlinkM_funcs.h library to turn two of those pins into a power & ground.
Notice the (Black, Red, Green, Blue) color coding of the BlinkM connections. I find this to be a useful mnemonic for remembering the order of BlinkM's pins.
Motor controller (Eagle schematic)
Designed to be a "standalone", no Arduino board etc... All that remains is the ATMEGA8, the crystal oscillator (and related caps), and 5V regulated power supply. The rest is for the sensor and motor relay.
The Arduino portion is based directly on the documentation found here.

Our fall Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers is off to a great start. I taught this evening course with my associates Donald Day and Edward Janne on September 14, 2016, at the woodshop in Tam High School in Mill Valley.
We welcomed a wonderful group of seven students, including adults with diverse backgrounds, as well as a high school student. We started by giving our students an overview of the popular Arduino board. We then learned how to light up an LED, add a button to turn it on and off, and play a sound with a piezzo buzzer.
Students accomplished all these steps successfully, and seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. We’re really happy that this course is going so well and we look forward to teaching next week’s class.

Looking to build an Internet connected device? The Arduino Ethernet is the ticket, with an Arduino UNO paired with an ethernet port it's the perfect piece of hardware to experiment with the Internet of Things. Or if you've developed something using an Arduino and an Ethernet shield it can be ported to this board with no code changes (uses the same WizNet W5100 controller).

Alarm clock prototype project using a Fios3, LiPo battery, a speaker, 4-digit LED display and a custom connection hub. The alarm is set using a rotary encoder.
An Arduino microcontroller uses a CdS photocell and a set of LEDs to indicate the ambient light level. (Move your mouse over the picture to see explanatory notes.)
Just fooling around because I was bored. Maybe I'll think of a good use for this later.

I made this housing for an Arduino Pro that will control my waveguide relay in my 47 GHz radio. This housing is made from 6061 billet aluminum. The cover is held on with a dozen 0-80 screws.
Pretty basic. Each temperature probe line has a 4.7k pull-up resistor connected between +5v and the data pin. Data pins are 4 through 10, and pin 1 is used for sending data to the LCD. The probes are capable of all operating on the same bus, but then I'd have to deal with addressing them individually, and making sure each probe was installed in the correct location. This way, as long as I know which pin it's connected to, I don't care what its serial number is.
When we created Arduino’s visual identity in 2010, we pioneered brand communication in DIY electronics. Since then, we have helped Arduino define its presence amid growth and change, and recently took care of refreshing the brand and designing a coherent look and feel for its sister brand, Genuino.
There is a nice post on Arduino’s blog about our work.

USB Power supply takes the 8.75vac input, and with a bridge rectifier, 3 capacitors, and a 7805 regulator, turns it into a nice 5v regulated supply carried by a mashed up USB cable to the Arduino.
Piezo electric to keystrokes for triggering Ableton Live clips. Proof of concept has been done, this is a work in progress. Parts from Sparkfun (except wood case).
We taught a workshop on how to create interactive art with the Arduino platform at the Mill Valley Library on October 24, 2015.
We showed 9 students how to make lights blink, sounds play, motors move, and how to add more color with neopixel LEDs, as described in this online guide we created for the workshop:
At the end of the workshop, we asked participants if they would like to this again, and the answer was a resounding yes! Participants told us they learned a lot from this workshop and would not only come back for future workshops, but also recommend this program to their friends.
Instructors for this workshop were Donald Day and Fabrice Florin, with support from Natalie and Jean Bolte. We are all members of Pataphysical Studios, the art collective behind the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine’, our poetic oracle.
Come visit the exhibit this month! We’re open every Saturday and Sunday in October, from 1 to 5pm, in the downstairs conference room of the Mill Valley Library.
Special thanks to the Mill Valley Library and the Friends of the Library for making these workshops possible — especially Kristen Clarke, who helped us get the Arduino parts and set up for the workshop.

Monitoring cooling milk during yogurt making with Arduino Uno R3 and thermocouple. Phase 1 of yogurt making is heating the milk to 190-200 F, phase 2 is letting it cool to about 120 F, phase 3 is adding yogurt from a previous batch, phase 4 is letting it culture. This photo is phase 2, letting the milk cool. The sensor and electronics will tell me when the milk is close to 120 F, so I can be ready to add the yogurt (cooling can take over 30 minutes). More information on this project on my blog, Mental Masala.
