Inside a wooden craft you’ll find an Arduino board, microphone, and an 8×8 RGB module. The front cover of the project box diffuses the light using a sheet of tracing paper on a frame of foam board. The maker wrote [https://github.com/giladaya/arduino-particle-sys his own particle system library] to generate interesting animations.

A gardening system that combines hydroponics (water-based planting) and aquaculture (fish farming). Using sensors (to detect water level, pH and temperature), microprocessors (mostly the open-source Arduino microcontroller), relay cards, clouds and social media networks (Twitter and Facebook), Maundu has programmed his gardens to tweet when there’s a problem (e.g. not enough water) or when there’s news (e.g. an over-abundance of food to share). | |||

Interactive installation using Processing and Arduino: a series of pyramids made of acrylic glass installed in a square in Edinburgh and each of them programmed to play different instrumental sections of a song when interacted with.

Not exactly microcontrollers or open source but still really amazing project. This robot arm deposits a mix of thermoset polymers that harden at the exact same time they're pushed out the tip of the extruder. | |||

Using 55 Arduinos, this is a 13 by 8 meters labyrinth where you walk in the dark and get a sensory experience based on more than 300 sensors. A floor that reacted to the people walking on it. The basic idea was to play back sounds of walking on other surfaces than you really were. Code Available on the page. | |||

Using a camera placed in a dark room and set for a long exposure. At just the right instant the flash is activating, capturing the image. An infrared laser diode pointed at a phototransistor triggers the flash. When the droplet breaks the laser beam the Arduino triggers the flash after a calculated delay. The inventor mentions that this can be modified to use sound as a trigger.
