Arduino Contests

I just finished my submission to the BricoGeek.com Let Arduino Play contest. A digital version of the Whack-A-Mole game from the carnivals. I submitted it last night, and am now waiting to see the outcome. This development platform is a fun and addictive hobby. I have been scrounging parts from old electronics, and trying ot learn as much about the small computer electronics platforms as I can. I have integrated PING))) sensors with motors, LEDS, and the Serial monitor. I am still baffled by interfacing with an HD44780 compatible LCD. I have yet to try just attaching it straight to the Arduino and sucking up all the available Pins on the board, but I may have to do that to figure any more out. I am still working on a few other projects related to this board, and hope to make more progress soon. Meanwhile the kids love to play with the random Electronics that I have for them to interact with routinely.

More later,
