4 Operating Systems for the Arduino
I was working in the lab, late one night, when my eyes behold an eerie sight...
By Mark Frauenfelder at 10:41 am Tuesday, Feb 24 Marc de Vinck has been producing an excellent series of tutorial videos that show you how to make things with the Arduino microcontroller . In this third installment, he uses the Arduino to control a servo motor with a potentiometer.

Teensy USB Development Board
The Teensy is a complete USB-based microcontroller development system, in a very small footprint, capable of implementing many types of projects . All programming is done via the USB port. No special programmer is needed, only a standard "Mini-B" USB cable and a PC or Macintosh with a USB port.
Tiny portable AVR projects: Business card breakout boards
That's a bit of an exaggeration; we didn't need a new card so much as we were enamored with the idea of having a card that did something interesting.ZigBee is a low-power communication system using digital radios.
Wireless Arduino programming with ZigBee
This mini web server is slightly smaller than a business card. There are a lot of tiny one-board servers out there, but this is probably the smallest you can etch and solder at home. Unlike many embedded web servers, files are stored on a PC-readable SD card, not in a difficult-to-write EEPROM.

Build Your Own NASA Apollo Landing Computer (no kidding)
Would you like to own the computer Neil Armstrong used to land on the moon in 1969? Well, that's possible now, because a geek named John Pultorak created a working reproduction of the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC), wrote a complete manual that will allow you to build your own Apollo flight computer clone and released it in the puclic domain.
