I showed the enclosure for the primary Arduino in the previous post in my Arduino Nerf sentry gun build series. This is the enclosure for the secondary Arduino — the one that drives the MotorShield to sweep the Nerf gun back and forth. It’s a Chameleon Enclosure that I slightly modified with a nibbler so I could drop the board low enough to fit the Arduino , MotorShield , and ScrewShield .

Mental Note is the name I gave to a project that I made for Yahoo HackU 2010.

This year, in the lead-up to and during the Faire, we wanted to gather together a little ad hoc community of makers who are presenting at the event and ask them to do some posts for us. We want you to be able to look over their shoulders to get a sense of what’s going into their preparations, and through their minds — what they’re psyched about, nervous about, what they’re excited to see at the Faire

So designer Eric Ku made this chair out of the letters in the word chair, so you can sit while you spell.
