Arduino-based "kitchen" timer, originally uploaded by KayDub. A demo of the packaged version of my Arduino-powered timer. A simple button/led system to create a virtually unlimited number of countdown alarms. My first use of an Arduino Pro, powered via a LiPoly rechargeable battery. Plays simple songs via a piezo, and blinks led’s to visually mirror the notes. Also monitors supplied battery voltage, and cycles the LEDs when battery will need recharging.

Building an Arduino Clock

My "Fabulous Five" dollhead piece was my first arduino project. It’s purpose was learning how to read sensors, then drive motors using an arduino. To that end, it drives DC hobby motors and servos, as well as using input from 4 sensors, an IR distance sensor, a sonar distance sensor, a PIR motion sensor, and a photoresistor light sensor. For my second project, I wanted to build something a bit more desk-worthy.
