Send text file values to Arduino		Read a text file on your computer using the Processing language and send the values to the Arduino to light up some LEDs
Control LEDs using computer mouse		Use a computer mouse to create an interactive LED animation.
Computer animation using photo resistor		Hook up a photo resistor to an Arduino to create a magical/interactive animation effect on your computer screen.
Arduino OLED Slideshow		This project uses a Grove 96x96 OLED to display a slideshow of pictures transmitted from the computer via Serial Communication (USB cable).
HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor		Using an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to create an interactive computer animation
Control Arduino via Bluetooth		Using the Bluetooth SPP app on Samsung Galaxy phone to control Arduino via Bluetooth Shield.
Arduino Selfie		Arduino controls a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS using a relay shield to take a SELFIE. .
DIY Intervalometer		Make your own intervalometer using an Arduino and Canon PowerShot SX50 HS
E-Paper Barcode 39		Display a Barcode on an E-Paper panel
Arduino Weather Reporter		An Arduino UNO (and Ethernet Shield) queries Yahoo using a Temboo account, and retrieves weather information. The data is filtered and processed, and then passed on to another Arduino UNO to be displayed on a TFT LCD module (ITDB02-1.8SP).
Arduino Beatbox		Using home made capacitive sensors (and the ADCTouch library) together with the Grove Serial MP3 player to create your very own drum pad machine, or what I like to call - an Arduino BEATBOX.
CH376S USB disk read/write module		Communicate with a CH376S USB disk read/write module using Serial communication. Now you can store your project data to a USB drive/stick.
Neopixel Playground		Neopixel LED strips are a lot of fun ! In this tutorial, there are five fun LED sequences to play with. From interactive cylons, comet and fire effects, sparkling rainbows, and a digital spirit level.
Neopixel Heart Beat Display		Display your heart beat on a 5m LED strip.
MT8870 DTMF - Dual Tone Multi Frequency Decoder		Control your Arduino using a touch-tone phone, voice recorder, YouTube, Web App, Smart phone app and more using DTMF tones and simple Arduino sketch. This project is actually a lot cooler than it looks. This module allows you to automate your Arduino in a very unique way with little programming. You should try it for yourself.
Arduino LED Light Box		Make a cool LED light box with fun animations using an Arduino UNO and a strand of RGB LED pixels.
Get Arduino Data over the internet		Create a web page which will retrieve Arduino Analog Pin Data (in JSON format) over the internet. The data will be retrieved using jQuery and AJAX, and will be displayed on a bar chart within a web browser, without having to refresh the web page.
