// Arduino to Flash [video included]

In one of my classes at the university we have been working with the Arduino. I mentioned this wonderful gadget earlier but briefly to sum up it’s a prototyping unit you quite can program to communicate with other things. It works as kind of a link between your computer and another electronic device. Anyway we managed to make the Arduino communicate with a simple Flash animation. By installing a light sensor on the Arduino we made it possible to move an object in the Flash animation pure magic!….Because the video was used as documentation it’s in Danish.

// Arduino [video included]

As I already told you I study Digital Design at the University. This allows me to be extra geeky when i want to. So a couple of months ago i bought myself an Arduino. And what is an Adruino, you may ask. Well… Im beginning to figure out what it is. Its a prototyping unit…! Basicly its a little computer with a breadboard on which you can easily attach LED’s and stuff like that on to. When you write a little program on your laptop you can load this program in to the Arduino and make the lights blink! Amazing!!!
