Sorry I know this is an old thread but I have a veritable queue of projects I want to do with arduino/atmegas.
* sous vide cooking - I already have this done to a functional stage, working on UI now. * Sprinkler control - "gee it sure is hot today, better give the lawn a little extra water tonight", don't have to wait till the optimal time or until I get home, by which time I'll probably have forgotten about it. ;) I've been toying with the idea of having a camera on the lawn to measure the "greenness" of the different zones for a feedback control, though I fear the response time may be WAAAY too long to be useful. :/ * thermostat control, like a NEST basically, but simpler/cheaper/learninger (I mean that I learn more, not the thermostat), per room temperature readings, even if not per-room control * With RPi: a bitcoin point of sale "Pole Display" - a serial connected device that the PoS feeds the price to over serial, the RPi parses for "Total" or the likes, the price, converts to bitcoin, and displays the QR code. * I might play with X10 at some point PS As a side note, I've got one arduino and several atmega328. I do development on the arduino with breadboards, then as I finish projects I will PCB them with an atmega for the permanent "finished" project, which won't have the arduino bootloader or FTDI or anything (programmed over ISP). PPS for linux I love using VIm and 'ino' (inotool http://inotool.org) rather than the eye-bleeding arduino IDE. And then for ISP programming I fall down to avrdude, but use the .hex that ino produced to upload. And for a programmer I use the usbtiny 'littlewire' (actually, an SMD version of it that my brother designed http://makeatronics.blogspot.com/2013/03/little-wire-smd.html) Enjoy your *duinoing! :D <quote name="Tod Hansmann" date="Wed, 12 Mar 2014 at 19:07 -0600"> > I'm fiddling with some *duinos a bit and I thought it would be a > good discussion topic.
