Fun apps
Random Dots (a fun app by karrer)
This is a simple program for the TouchShield Slide, that draws dots at random locations and random colors.

Gravitational Drive with 3-axis accelerometer (a fun app by inthebitz)
This is the code from the project where I hacked a remote for an RC car to be driven by gravity, using a 3-axis accelerometer from Modern Device.
|
Plasma (a fun app by TheJester)
Plasma demo on TouchShield Stealth.
Touch the screen to change colours.
|
discostars (a fun app by giggawatt)
An exploration of math functions and rendering on the touchshield slide. Remember those crazy star shaped clocks from the 70's? Well, that was the inspiration for this. All lengths are calculated using trig based on the shape of an ellipse you can define. Also makes use of random colors and the ellipse function.

Disco Stars and fancy math (a fun app by giggawatt)
This is a culmination of math and shield functions to create a tweakable star, reminiscent of those crazy star wall clocks from the 70's. Not exactly useful but hopefully educational.

Slide RGB LED Hack (a fun app by severino)
This hack controls the RGB LED under the TouchShield Slide!
|
Neil's Circle Contoller (a fun app by nskate0)
A program that lets you control a circles size, position, and color.
|
Six Circles Slide (a fun app by severino)
This app has 6 circles that you can slide around by touching the screen and dragging the circle.
|
Slide Bubbles (a fun app by inthebitz)
A simple little app that displays concentric circles based on where you touch on the screen. It's a simple processing demo from ejohn over at: http://ejohn.org/apps/processing.js/examples/basic/distance2d.html

WARD1 Code (a fun app by ziplock)
The Wireless Automatic Door Opener, or WARD for short, is a project I'm working on to submit to Libelium's hacking contest. The project uses two Arduino boards, two XBee radios from Digi, my own RFIDShield with an Innovations ID-12 that I purchased from SparkFun installed, an RFID tag from Sparkfun, an Xbee board from Adafruit, and an Extender Shield and Lith ...

hium Backpack from Liquidware (Yay!). The code is split into two parts, one for each Arduino, and uses the Servo and SoftwareSerial libraries from arduino.cc
http://liquidware.org/view.php?id=95
Requires all parts listed.
Mostly just posted to show.

Beyonce If I Were A Boy in Morse Code (a fun app by inthebitz)
A little application for the Illuminato board that blinks out the lyrics to Beyonce's song If I were a Boy, in Morse Code. This app has zero practical purpose, except maybe if it had a Lithium Backpack on the other side, you could carry it in your pocket, in case you need to communicate with a U-boat or signal mayday or signal for help from the Titanic and th ...

he date is 1920 and they can somehow decode +60 Morse code words per minute, visually not auditorily, and they're not weirded out by the fact that you're saying "If I were a boy, I think I could understand how it feels to love a girl I swear I'd be a better man." I think that rules out everyone. And even if they did, they'd probably leave you alone anyway.

Robot Remote Control (a fun app by severino)
Arduino Code for my robot's wireless XBee remote control.
This code reads from the Inputshield's joystics, and forwards the message to the XBee sensor on the remote.
Remote Arduino Reads the analog values of the joystick->
Remote Arduino translates the signal meaning and creates commands ->
Remote Arduino Serial Port ->
Remote Xbee Shield ->

Illuminato Backlight Pulsing Sleep Button (a fun app by inthebitz)
This program pulses the backlights of the Illuminato like the Apple sleep function on Mac laptops. You can program and alter the pulsing speed and intensity, and also control the rate at which the white LED's fade in or out.
|
Illuminato LED matrix app (a fun app by inthebitz)
This application allows you to control an LED matrix, like the one available here: http://www.futurlec.com/LED/LEDM88OG.shtml
It specifically uses 24 digital IO pins to control the LED matrix.
It includes a main loop() that runs a demo on the matrix, and also a loop2() that is not run by default unless you change it's name to loop() that allows you to e ...

experiment with which pins control which rows and columns on the LED matrix - by sending the row and column over the serial connection to the computer.

Parallax Sonar Sensor Demo (a fun app by inthebitz)
This project uses the Parallax accelerometer, which I picked up from Radio Shack. The full name is "Memsic 2125 Dual-Axis Accelerometer".
|
Rectangles (a fun app by inthebitz)
A simple little application that sets up colors on the TouchShield Stealth and displays a small rectangle on the screen.
|
TouchShield Stealth Hello World! (a fun app by inthebitz)
This is a simple hello world program that demonstrates how to easily use the touchscreen interface of the TouchShield.
|
Fan Controller (a fun app by inthebitz)
This is a brief app using PWM to make the Arduino control the speed of a small CPU fan.
An NPN transistor will be driven from an Arduino pin using Pulse width modulation.
|
Libelium GPS Sensor Demo (a fun app by inthebitz)
A small demo written to make the Arduino read coordinates from the Libelium GPS shield. It parses the string appropriately and kicks out latitude and longitude.
|
Parallax Motion Sensor Demo (a fun app by inthebitz)
This app uses the Parallax motion sensor circuit that can be purchased for $10 from Radio Shack.
