Not an Arduino but Netduino and used that to make a full sized traffic light for my kids to play with.To keep the nerd level up, the sources of the toy were properly Unit tested
Toying with the physical world is always fun.

Yeah, I did something similar with stop lights at a 4 way intersection for a model train set...haven't tried a Netduino yet, thought it would be good practice to dust off my C/C++ with Arduino...anyway, plain old Arduinos are cheaper...you can get an Arduino Nano on eBay for $11.00 Cdn or an ATTiny85 for $1.50 Cdn.

Same here, and now I get to put that knowledge to use in my Robotics lab, where we're using them to run our (fairly simple) robots. It's fun to see your Arduino running away from you

Too bad I can't do anything like that, our primary building material is Legos, and they are far from water proof

Legos might be good for constructing stuff...heard someone made a supercomputer with Legos

I am planning on buying some Arduino's and some Raspberry PIs and making a fully 'computized' Lego city with my approx. 100+ pounds of Legos, my HO-Scale model trains, the computer things above, a lot of wires, and a LOT of time (and space)! I also am going to write a remote control system for it.
That is, if I ever get enough money, time, space, and patience to do this!

Lol, that's always the problem isn't it?...a conjunction of Money, Space, Time and Patience...must be a formula in there somewhere...

does it count? we used LeJOS by the way.

No and not even planned.
I wish, I could have written for my mind:
Mind.AsEnumerable().Where(m => m["EmptyCorner"] == "").ToList().ForEach(s => s.SetField("EmptyCorner", "C#, Asp.net, Linq, Java, .....Everyting"));
Mind.AcceptChanges(); ___________________________________________________

Had done a project in which we had to interact a PS2 keyboard with a 8051, in order to create a wireless keyboard.
it came out eventually quite ok..

But did not have a heart for learning yet another IDE, software environment, libraries and probably language...

Try a Netduino, VS+c#, easy as it can be. Even debugging can be done on the device from VS.

If you want to read more on the .Net MF, go to: tiny clr[^]
Note that this stuff has a dramatic effect on your spare time... if you still had any.

There is always to much to do in available time you have.
This is why you have to prioritize
Nevertheless, thx for the link I will check this out!

It used eVC4, was emulated on WinCE. The device was MIPS, and the compiler was horrible. It got seriously confused if a source file's length was over 1000 lines...
Eventually it did work quite nicely
I have also messed around with STM32F uC's (Cortex M3/4) and Arduino. Much more fun than the barcode scanner.

Didn't get chance yet.. but planning for it...
