We made a kegerator that uses an Arduino Duemilanove with an RFID reader for access control, [and] a solenoid [a device that controls switches and levers] for controlling the tap and a flow meter ...

The legs are inspired by CT scans of real salamander limbs. Soft parts are created using silicone molds, combined with added internal structures to mimic real anatomy. Syringes and zip ties are used ...

Solenoid valves control the flow of compressed ... [Tom] had to improvise thruster control; an Arduino watches the throttle signals normally sent to a drone’s motors and fires the solenoids ...

And now, with this mod framework that can talk to an Arduino, modders can build blocks that break out of the Minecraft world to control the real world. While turning on a light from Minecraft is ...
