I may have to use this to communicate with the Arduino :

Gives serial access to PHP under linux, OSX and Windows (write-only under Windows).
This class can be used to communicate with a serial port under Linux, OSX or Windows.

I like this little Applescript proxy for use with the Arduino.

Basically it can interpret data (characters) sent from the Arduino and send them on to other programs

Control your Mac from Arduino, the easy way
A while ago I wrote a small app that would execute AppleScript commands depending on the data send from an Arduino board connected to my mac. I’ve been asked a few times to release it but it was just a quick hack. Now thanks to HyperWerk in Basel, I’ve had the time to fix it a bit for a student project. I’m releasing it to see what people do with it.

This website has a number of very basic experiments to start out with fairly advanced electronic components and the Arduino.

Working with analog input
Dimmer: Fading an LED with a Potentiometer
Drawing a graph of analog input
Thresholding with a Range Sensor
Tilt control with an Accelerometer
Understanding Voltage Dividers with a Flex Sensor

Just discovered a rather strange problem with our Airport Extreme.

I have not had any particular problem with the wireless connection in the house, but we started having problems with services such as iTunes and iPhoto seeing each other.

It turned out that I could not see any services using Bonjour.

Checking through logs it looked like the Airport Extreme base station was continuously broadcasting Bonjour services - possibly jamming the whole network (at least on the wireless side of the network).

Restarting the access point suddenly restored all services.

Early Friday morning Benjamin shouted from his room : "I got in to Surrey!". He had just gone online to check his exam results, and was told that he had managed to get into his first choice - Surrey University, and one the course he wanted. From a parents point of view - excellent, no worries about what to do for a couple of years, and he will be close enough to either live at home or at the very least turn up in person occasionally.

While looking for reviews of coffee machines (!) today I came across a hacked site which redirected to a site that tried to emaulate a virus scanner with a number of Microsoft warnings that my computer was infected.

The only small problem here is that I'm not using Windows, so it all had to be a fake...
