Alright everybody, I think I'm ready to start building my very own arduinome. I've been looking around the tubes and found lots of helpful resources that I will shamelessly steal from due to the fact that I'm essentially a complete noob to the electronics scene. The only semi-interesting thing I've done so far is create a simple set up using one of the analog ports on my arduino to read the value of a potentiometer over a serial port and post the value to Twitter using a custom Python script. The intent was to be a proof of concept for posting the temperature of a remote location to Twitter, with the pot in place of the temp sensor. If anyone ever ends up reading this and is interested I can post the (unpolished) code.
Anyway, while the arduinome has been done many times in the past I've got some ideas that might be able to set it apart. Assuming I can figure it out, I was thinking of including the ability for optional external inputs, not unlike what is offered by the Machine Collective but without quite as much awesome. I figure for now I'll stick with the monochrome model and, if I can get everything blinking, think about an RGB model in the future.
