Even for objects of the non-living variety. Vorhees’s Exploded photo set illustrates the anatomy of some everyday objects with intriguing results.

Using the graphical programming language Processing and an Arduino microcontroller, Trevor Shannon built himself a software-based Etch-A-Sketch.

A simple, yet intuitive way of using the Arduino to build a project. Oh, and the knobs are made from an old iTunes gift card! Want to give it a shot? Trevor... Continue reading
