Arduino Contest Winners

Instructables and Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories and The Arduino Team are happy to announce the winners of the Arduino Contest!

If you haven't been convinced yet of the capabilities of Arduino, then just check out the amazing entries in the contest. Binary clocks, gardening, a silly string shooter, and a coffee roaster are just a few of the cool ideas submitted. Be sure to check out the winners as well as well as all of the other entries. We're sure you'll find something in there to inspire a future project.

We'd like to thank everyone who entered their projects, the partners who put up the awesome prizes, and the judges who helped decide the winners. Thanks tigoe, 1lenore, bekathwia, Plusea, Grathio, and dcuartielles!

WRONG! Arduino contains an AVR microcontroller, and is a development kit for these microcontrollers. It is a general misconception that Arduino is a µC...

hi im new with them too but i know a little
an arduino is a circuit that is sort of an all in one programmer chip
it usualy comes prebuilt with a instruction manual and usb connectivity cord
plug it into the computer and program it
then connect it to whatever your programming it for and vwalla
your done
you connect a arduino via pin sockets
they also usualy come with software for your computer or sometimes you download it free off the internet
have a look at the sellers of them they usualy have some info on them
a good arduino to start out with is the arduino uno

 Just wondering how my project could be rated #2 by user votes and not place in 16/20 potential "winning" spots...

No hard feelings, some really great projects here, but I guess I assumed with a number 2 ranking I would have won at least a second prize...

The votes were used to help determine the finalists and the final winners were determined by combining the scores of several judges.

 Thats what I assumed. The email was a shock as I found out I was 1 of 4 that did not place at all. Anyway, the contest motivated me to actually write up my project and get it online and it definitely got some exposure (over 10k youtube hits) so thats cool.
