Build an Arduino-Powered, Tweeting, Self-Watering Garden System [DIY]
We've shown you a few automated irrigation systems, both large and small , but if you're an Arduino fan, you'll love DIYer Jouni's set-up, made out of a bucket, a submersible pump, and plastic hose. More
Steampunk-Inspired, Hand-Crafted Arduino Wristwatch Runs Breakout [Arduino]
Arduino modder Matthew Garten took his previous watch, a stingray hide "Biopunk Edition," and wrapped it with pseudo steampunk. It's an acquired taste, to be sure, but a temperature-sensing watch is handy if you're dealing with heat (or steam!). More
The Badass R/C Car That’s Controlled by an Xbox 360 Controller [DIY]

Arduino Nano 3.0: Twice The Memory, Cheaper Price [DIY]

Professor X Chair Dispenses Vodka, Announces Presence with Arduino Sounds and Smoke [Wheelchairs]
This fully-functional wheelchair comes complete with, well, everything I could possibly think of that's necessary for something to be called a Steampunk Professor X chair. Vodka cranberry dispenser? Yes. Booming Arduino/Adafruit sound effects? Sure! Working smokestack? Why, yes! Better still, there's video of the creator tooling around a model railroad museum, confusing and fascinating bystanders with his booze-dealing contraption of wonder. And yes, builder Daniel Valdez looks like Professor X: Says Valdez on some of the specifics: What you get when you mix an 1875 Eastlake Victorian platform rocking chair with a Permobil C300 Power wheelchair and a few trips to an antique store. Toss in screaming digital amped sound system, an event triggered sound processor, oh and a portable smoke machine! Indeed. As for my thoughts on the chair, I'm just half-glad something called "steampunk" actually does...something, for once. [ Flickr via Adafruit - Thanks, Philip ]
