I’ve been playing around with the Arduino more and more lately and really wanted to find a way to make it work with my other world of C# and WPF. The idea was to make an application that changes the screen based on how far away the user is. The only way that I could easily think about doing it was to use an Arduino as a serial device to help communicate with the sonar sensor.
I had a chance to see Ori Amiga give a presentation around the Live Mesh platform at the Web 2.0 Expo. At first I was little hesitant about this technology. After all the public preview is super early and lacking in a whole lot of usefulness and features. Getting a chance to really see where it’s going however got me all excited.
