Do you own a Arduino Uno and want a spare PS3... [Read More]

I have the Uno. This is nothing new though UnoJoy has been out for a while if Im not mistaken. Good none the less for people who like to tinker like me

Yeah it has been out a while, it was recently updated, that's why i posted about it.

I want one so i can use an old nes or snes controller case for the ps3. I wouldn't use it for games because of the lack of buttons but jus for the xmb would be cool.

what i would really like to see is the uno being able to downgrade any one know if this is possible?

Whats nice is once you've got the code down and the hang of it, you can use the uno to simply programme an atmega328 with the code and use that instead of the entire arduino board because all an arduino uno board is, is an atmega328 with arduino bootloader.

So you can do that, slap it on a small proto board and it would fit very snug into an NES controller housing. Theory of course. Not sure of the inner space of an NES controller or how you would have to shape the proto board for it to fit. But done right it should work wonders

Not sure if this will be your thing, but i found it quite cool.

You make an RC controlled multi rotor flying machine, using an Arduino and Motion Plus from a Wii Mote.

I read about a few projects that utilize a wii mote due to the hardware being rather basic to work with. This one looks very cool

I have a few simple servos laying around here and really want to put them into a project so maybe I'll do something like this. I just wish I had all the time in the world to make these things . I have sort of a never dying list of arduino/PIC projects that I want to do and no matter how many I do, more just gets added lol

hey can you tell me your arduino projects iam really interested in doing it.

Start here dude http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Projects/

If you are new to arduino checkout the homepage here http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/HomePage

and if you are SUPER new to electronics in general you should probably watch Massimo Banzi's tutorials. They are all over youtube and you cant get easier than that
