Next Project Ideas

We were unsure what to do next, so we decided to post some of ideas here as pointers to the next step of our projects:

1/ The MintyBoost solar energy system
2/ Running servo motors by Arduino
3/Making a remote control
4/ Remote Control Car
5/Remote Control Quadcopter

Additional projects:
a/ Soldering stuffs
b/ Control the LCD with the Arduino

Our own Arduino designs

We tried to be creative and made our own designs:

Part 2: Trailing LEDs
6 LEDs bouncing back and forth, leaving a trail







Part 1: FillingUp LEDs
The kind of thing you see in Las Vegas: Casino neon light display with letters filling up to become a complete whole word

A place for all the code

We created a project on Google Code to share our code, go check it out:

Hello World!!!

Hello,

This is a blog by Taj and Tung, students at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.

We're doing self projects and decided that we should post our works here, so that we could have people's comments and reviews.

We'll also try to post our class projects on here.

Any feedbacks and/or comments are welcome.

Thanks.
