Portal turret using MATLAB + Arduino

In the Maker’s own words:

This is the final project for my Advanced Mechatronics class at Penn State University. The robot is the skeleton of a turret from the game Portal that uses an IP webcam to track a target and fire nerf bullets at them. This is the current state of the robot as of 5/9/12, but I am currently molding a shell for the frame to make it look like the Portal turret, along with improving my code to make the tracking faster. All programming is done with MATLAB and Arduino. Enjoy!

Tetris using Arduino


Tribute to Tetris using Snootlab Deuligne on an… by Snootlab

Okay, it is cool to see Tetris powered by Arduino. What is even cooler is that you can build your own one!

For the English readers (like me) here is a translated version of the discussions and details in the forum, and for the lucky French readers who wont lose information in translation the details are here.

All thanks to the nice people at Snoootlab

Hack the Xbox 360 controller using Arduino

In case you are a hardware-hacker with no care for warranty, open up your Xbox 360 controller, attach an arduino uno to the circuit, program it, and turn it into a modded controller chip, which can be reprogrammed to be compatible with new games too!

The parts list and the instructions can be found here.

Game on! \m/
