Space was limited in my room so I decided long ago to remove my bed and build a lofted setup.
I do a lot of tinkering so I built in a U shaped desk that extends more or less around the full perimeter of my room with lots of space to work on things. My desktop setup lies directly underneath my bed and on the opposite side I have a soldering/electronics station.
I recently underwent a few hardware upgrades for my desktop which include a liquid cooled 6 core, 64 gb RAM custom machine and 3x 27" Achieva Shimian Korean IPS displays. These are mounted to the wall with monitor arms and can be pulled closer to the edge of the table if needed. The setup works really well for my 3d modeling and coding work.
They are also backlit by a RGB LED strip powered by an Arduino R3 and Python based client on the desktop which changes color according to the color on the screens. I find that it helps a lot with eye strain and adds a great ambiance to the room.
Using two 4051 multiplexer ICs I am able to simulate the electric typewriter's keyboard matrix and can control the entire functionality of this machine via the Arduino board.
This example shows the result of a tool that tries to recreate an image with the available letters on the daisy wheel. It types several layers of type over each other and also uses half-letter spacing and half-line feeds to cover more paper with carbon. The principle of this is demonstrated here: incubator.quasimondo.com/DarwinCss.html

First test run of the CD-sized rotor with the Arduino generating three-note polyphonic music. There are four reflective opto-sensors, mounted above a CD with a paper disk on top. (Flickr now rates this photo as the "most interesting" of my entire photostream.)
I made an Arduino compatible board last night. Holtek's step-up DCDC converter generates 5v from one AAA battery. Good for stand alone projects.
Robot body from a Tamiya tracked vehicle kit, a Tamiya dual-motor gearbox, an Arduino, and AdaFruit's motor control shield for Arduino.
My 3rd generation arduino Lego Controller. This one supplies true DC power out via buck converters (and a couple relays). It also supports 16 automated switches. An Android app can fully control this via bluetooth.
Arduino + Lego
Parts:
- Arduino Nano
- L298n
- 2 x DC motor (RF-370C XTL-13470)
- 4 x Infrared Line Tracking Sensor Module
- lots of Lego parts
- battery, breadboard...
(not a single Lego part is damaged)

My newly designed arduino-based flash trigger. I even gave it cool programmable status LEDs (all cool projects need status LEDs :-) ). So far, only a sound-triggered input has been added, but I've left room on the board for other detectors such as beam-break, lightning, etc.
I use this in my Stopping Time set.

A RGB LED striplight based on the HL1606 driver chip being driven by an Arduino. The interesting thing about this strip is that, unlike other RGB strips I've played with, you can actually control the LEDs individually. Figuring out how to do that however was tricky since the only specsheet for the HL1606 driver chip was written in Chinese.
By freak happenstance at Maker Faire 2009 I ran into apparently the only english-speaking geek in the world who has made headway in controlling them. After the Faire we've been collaborating on nailing down how the chip operates and I've been able to put together an Arduino library which I intend to open-source so that anybody can control these things.
A basic circuit for arduino mini. The power connections are to an arduino NG's +5v and ground, powered via USB. The LED connects to pin 13.
This is the same as circuit one but with a reset switch.
If you don't like the annotations, move the mouse cursor away from the image, or click "all sizes".
The reset switch takes the reset pin low. It is pulled up high through the resistor in top left (which goes to +5v) when the switch is not pressed.
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.
A fully functional GPS receiver with the ability to display the current location, heading, speed, average speed and maximum speed, the distance traveled, the bearing, distance and ETA for a way-point, and the date and time.

I am making an Arduino course for hipsters, instead of looking at what you learn, I am going to concentrate in what people think about themselves, establish an indie relationship to the world of electronics, portratit electrons as Emo-children, help the bohemian soul to embrace complex concepts that go beyond drinking wine while listening to Coldplay ... and all of this while only wearing B&W clothes.
This is the agenda for the course that will take place on April 28th at STPLN, in Malmo, Sweden.
Arduino controller with:
-Bluetooth control from Android phone
-Controls Canon A530 Camera
-Vex mobile base
Arduino key tapper keeps VPN login from timing out. Taps keyboard every 4 minutes. Uses small servo motor to actuate arm that hits shift key.
Acrylic case from Pokono. Other parts/servo from Sparkfun.
There might be better ways of doing this by faking computer that arduino was keyboard or mouse, but this was the easiest. :^)
Sparkfun ESP8266 Thing Dev Board with BME280 breakout board.
Raspberry Pi 3 with DHT22 tempature and humidity sensor
Arduino projects rebuilds. A couple old projects that I rebuild with better cases. Amazing canon G12 takes excellent pictures with no effort.
Arduino Mega with Adafruit GPS unit. The mega is nice because it has multiple uart/serial interfaces and that makes it easy to talk to computer/GPS/LCD.
Arduino test setup for highspeed photography.

Arduino bluetooth project gets a camera. One 4N25 opto-isolator to turn camera on/off and one to take pictures. Wrote an Android phone app to talk through bluetooth to Arduino to control camera.
Parts from Sparkfun and Al Lasher Electronics (Berkeley).
