The Wiimote controlling drum machines, by which I mean, machines that play the drums. A quick read of his website tells me that he’s using Arduinos to control the machines, plus some custom stuff. Pretty nice.

So this looks all well and fine, but it’s hardly the ‘holy grail’ of alternative energy. For one thing, it requires fuel and oxygen. To me the holy grail is a black box that reaps dark energy or gravitons or neutrinos from thin air and spits out 120V. Or Fettuccine Alfredo. Anyway, if it’s all that it says it is, it beats coal and the mountain rape that goes with it.

We’ve talked about the Emotiv Systems EPOC headset before (Emotiv EPOC). Alex Blainey has put up an impressive video where he uses the EPOC to control a simple robot arm…and he uses another favorite of ours, NeatTools, to tie it all together. Great job!
