I've been nudging lots of people about projects for July, and the
typical first response I get back is "I don't have any ideas". Then we
get talking about possibilities for 10 or 15 minutes and there are so
many ideas on the table they are spilling all over the floor, out the
front door, and into the storm drain.
Think of Arduino as a universal coupler between the land of computers,
and the real world. Physical computing.
And in the spirit of that, here's a great project someone made using
Arduino (in this case the Tiny) - an ISS passing lamp -
http://mechanicalintegrator.com/2011/iss-notify/. It lights up when the
space station is coming over head.
I am totally going to have to make one of those.
