So yeah I'm a pretty huge nerd and totally down with tech projects but I'm really not the greatest with software development so I got an Arduino board to teach myself how to program microcontrollers. Games and PC UI software don't interest me in the slightest so I'm looking for some cool projects to put my brain to work on this summer and learn more programming in the process before I make my grand re-entrance to school.
Has anyone here ever played with these things before? so far the only project that has caught my attention is the Arduinome which is basically a Monome clone(
peep dis), so maybe I'll do that, but do any of you have any experience or ideas on what I can do with this thing???
