Drawdio

Essentially, its a very simple musical synthesizer that uses the conductive properties of pencil graphite to create different sounds. The result is a fun toy that lets you draw musical instruments on any piece of paper. By Ladyada.

Botanicalls

Botanicalls opens a new channel of communication between plants and humans, in an effort to promote successful inter-species understanding.

The Botanicalls project is fundamentally about communication between plants and people. We are empowering both by inventing new avenues of interaction. Plants that might otherwise be neglected are given the ability to call and text message people to request assistance. People who are unsure of their ability to effectively care for growing things are given visual and aural clues using common human methods of communication.

OpenServo

It's meant to replace the existing controller board in any standard servo (~.78 inch servo width). With this board you can control a servo entirely with I2C/TWI commands rather than PWM, meaning that multiple OpenServos can be controlled with just two lines! The OpenServo firmware also offers some interesting control features, such as querying a servo with an unknown position, setting control gain discretely and on-the-fly, and even querying the destination of the actuator before it reaches it!

BSODomizer Port

BSODomizer is a small, battery-powered, mischievous electronic gadget that interfaces between a laptop or desktop and VGA monitor and flashes a fake BSOD onto the monitor at random time intervals or when triggered. Here's my (Etharooni's) port of it.

Open Source Motor Control

The OSMC project was originally made for battlebot robots to power extremely high current DC motors. Like, 160 Amps continuous. Here's my version.

Computer Power Supply Breakout

A useful little board that uses your computer's power supply (4.99 at Goodwill) and splits it out into high current, regulated 12, 5, 3.3, -5, and -12 volts.

BBBoost PTH Breadboard Power Supply

This is a switchable 3.3V / 5V breadboard power supply that boosts up from a AA battery. Based on Ladyada's Mintyboost

JeeLabs

All the JeeLabs designs are CC-By. He has some nice ideas about making Arduino clone peripherals more modular. And his boards are real purty :). Most recently the AA->3.3V power supply is pretty nice looking. If you don't feel like DIY, they're available stateside from Modern Device.
