ning around the internet you can find the strangest projects.
This happen to be one of the wildest: working after an open source computer car “to take automotive computer technology to the next level“.
I don’t know whether this project is linked to Mpeguino, but the sponsor page make me doubt it.
Shall we wait for the true open source car, don’t we??

The second post of the week about open source home monitoring.
Part – 1 means that for now you can read just a long list of pieces of hardware.
But then: home monitoring and X10 are the more interesting projects around.
waiting for part 2!

[Richard] points out nother way to spread information over the internet via arduino (as he did in this post on eHome). He tries to send gas information to the Pachube, using EEML as the format.

The energy monitor is working away logging energy consumption data, giving some informative readouts and nice looking graphs! there’s more about it in the blog post here and the documentation here.

Nice step by step project to display feeds on a microprinter.
The concept of Microprinting as described by Tom Taylor is “an experiment in physical activity streams and notification, using a repurposed receipt printer connected to the web”. Using this and the works of others as inspiration, I set about making my own Internet connected printer.
Before starting the project, I hadn’t had any previous experience of building electronic circuits, and it had been over 10 years since I had last picked up a soldering iron. Unperturbed, I set out and acquired everything I needed for the project:
The serial output of the Arduino board isn’t natively compatible with the printer – you need to run the signal through the MAX233 chip to transform the output to the correct voltage.

From Ben Shiriff: My latest project is controlling a pedestrian sign with an Arduino, so it will automatically step through the states of walk, flashing don’t walk, and solid don’t walk. In addition, I added infrared remote control support so I can use a remote control to turn the sign on and off, set it to a particular state, or start the cycle.
