Hi everyone, Lucy Matchett, Nicole Yi Messier, and Joselyn McDonald (Snax_and_Macs) made a remote flower-watering device so you can water your loved ones’ plants when you water your own. We used Arduinos, a photoresistor, a servo, Arduino and Processing sketches, Spacebrew, and a little elbow grease to put it all together. We’ve posted the instructions, […]

What if you could turn any conductive surface into an instrument? Like, say…a mug of water? Best of all, it’s cheap; you’ll only need $1 worth of extra electrical components (not including the Arduino). For this project, my friend Harvest and I combined Disney’s Touché touch-sensing system with Arduino, and then used ChucK to generate
