Hello,
I launched a technology project on kickstarter that your readers might
find interesting. It is an Arduino compatible box for users that want
to use electronics in a project, but don't want to solder and learn
how to program, etc.It can be used to quickly add motion and
interactivity to art creations for instance. And it can be controlled
from a smartphone.
Link to project is:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/694850905/the-ard-vark
It has wifi built in, controls up to 4 servos and 2 DC motors,
temperature sensor and light sensor built in with ports to connect
other things. For more advanced users that know the Arduino, the
source code will be freely available so they can modify the Ard-Vark
with their own code, and still have an easy to use smart phone app to
control it. Project will be open source hardware and software.
If for no other reason, have a look at the project video to see a
dancing tiger. :)
Thanks,
Kerwin
