HOW TO – Control your Mac from Arduino, the easy way

Here’s how to control your Mac with an Arduino board, so… you could do stuff like have iTunes start up and play music when you walk in the door… Massimo writes –

A while ago I wrote a small app that would execute AppleScript commands depending on the data send from an Arduino board connected to my mac. I’ve been asked a few times to release it but it was just a quick hack. Now thanks to HyperWerk in Basel, I’ve had the time to fix it a bit for a student project. I’m releasing it to see what people do with it.
