I've been tinkering with the adruino now for a few days and I've found out how to access the analog pins and read data from them.
I've used a small accelerometer and managed to read the information via the serial console to the arduino.
I plan to see if I can then feed that information back to the computer along with an r/c gyroscope and use it as an HID as a game controller for first person gaming, mounted to a gun stock for a more realistic experience.
Another project to work on is a new remote programmer for work as our programmer recently died. I believe I should be able to read the code from the remote and then store it as a file and feed it back to a remote. There are only 6 pins on the programming cable, presumably GND, PWR and some data lines. It seems fairly straight forward. If it is possible I can sequentially do it to say a dozen remotes hooked up at the same time, cutting remote programming time down drastically.
I should be able to start on it this week and see if I can get it to work.
A few fun projects to learn some more advanced arduino programming.
