As 2012 concludes, let’s look back at all the cool Arduino projects that we’ve featured on the site. There were a ton! We’ve been big fans of the Arduino since its release, and there are hundreds of posts on the blog as a testament to this love affair–with more to come in 2013! The following are some Arduino projects from 2012 that I especially liked:
