I bought a Sharp IR distance sensor to add to my robot to prevent it form bumping into things. This sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the distance to an object (supposedly from 3.1V at 10cm to 0.4V at 80cm).
This project is an Arduino based step sequencer, synthesizer and sound effects box. It was constructed a year ago as a third birthday present, and has recently come back to me for some 'refurbishment' - fresh batteries and some glue to fix LEDs that have been pushed into the box. Not too bad after a year with a small child!
Minidisc Control Center is a Windows application which allows you to control Sony MiniDisc recorders from your computer. The program uses a hardware interface that connects the parallel (printer) port of your computer to the remote control port of the mini disc unit. Most functions of the recorder can be controlled from the computer, including titling and full recording from Winamp.
