Reactive music piece.
An Arduino Lilypad with an accelerometer controlling an LED that modulates a Bleep Labs Thingamagoop.
Just walking past it will set it off.
This is the newest version of my arduino temperature sensor setup. Tonight I migrated to an Uno R3 from a Duemilanove and added a wireless shield. I then wrote a little web server so the thing doesn't need to be hooked to a machine via USB to read the sensors attached to it. Now it can sit in a corner in my kitchen and I can poll it from anywhere inside my network, which is mainly nice because I don't need it tethered to a server of some kind. I need to make a case of some kind for it.
Right now cricket is running on my laptop, but tomorrow I should get back an older macbook pro I sent off for repairs, and it will become my all around home server / entry into my home network, so I can move the poller/grapher/web server to it and gain a remote entry way into other devices in my network, like my raid, in the process.
I also have on order a waterproof version of the same temperature sensor I am already using, and I'm going to add it to this set up and run it outside. That way instead of scraping wunderground's nearby weather station to graph the outdoor temp vs the indoor temp, I can grab the data from exactly at my place and using exactly the same type of sensor.
I also did some cricket hacking to get the graphing done up how I wanted it. I actually remember quite a bit of perl. Which is...something. I even sent a bunch of notes about installing cricket on Mountain Lion to cricket-users. Though, that list seems incredibly dead.
I am way, way too pleased with this project.
This is where the fun will happen. For now, it's forwarding whatever comes down the serial interface from the USB socket. I'd quite like to get an ethernet shield so I can remove the laptop from the equation. Spot the dodgy soldering, wrapped in masking tape.

Tired of our projects getting finished and being nothing more than a mush of wires we decided to design ourselves a box. After many iterations we've settled on one that requires just over an A4 (letter) sheet worth of acrylic and four nuts and bolts to assemble.

Hacking my Decimila to allow direct programming of the ATMega168 by bit-banging the USB-Serial port with Avrdude.
Here you can see where the other ends of the jumpers are plugged in.
Red is in 11
Yellow is in 12
Green is in 13
Black is in RESET

This may be the first ever Arduino MEGA 'hack" ?
Here I have used two 16 wire ribbon cables to break-out the large 32 pin double row connector on the right side of the Arduino MEGA. This is a 32 position IDC connector with extra long male-male pins going down into the Arduino, on the other side I used two 16 pin DIP style connectors.

SISYPHUS is a robot that learns to crawl using a simple AI algorithm called reinforcement learning. The robot tries random actions at first and learns if it is moving forward or backward. Over time it connects actions that move it forward.
My breadboarding is too damn messy. This is an attempt at an Arduino-driven EEPROM programmer (yes, silly, I know). It's controlled via USB by my PC.
Alright, I admit it. I just like watching the lights blink, OK?
Here's the diagram of my arduino photolab box. More details here (in french) :

This is the first iteration of my Arduino ( a user programmable micro controller) powered flash trigger. There is an IR beam over the end of the barrel, the pellet breaks the beam and fires the flash gun to freeze the motion of the bullet. All I need to do now is set it up in the dark, and find a suitable target.
