MSN Wallchart V3
Got round to finishing this project up and giving it its own box and reprinting the photos, it ended up looking quite good. I also added a little buzzer for when people log in.
Finished and hung at last
On off button, Beep switch, Computer connection
Usualy covered by a pannel, and yes my soldering is messy
Doing the wiring on the the back was very frustrating, i spent a few hours doing it, and yes it is messy, very very messy
Project complete
Edit: i have since switched the arduino Decimila for a Stickduino (a cheaper bare bones arduino clone) so i can reclaim my arduino for other projects

Hey i’ve come across your project since i’m looking to get my msn to talk to my arduino. ive tried by using a VB.net script as an ‘Add-In’ using the serial port to send a command but msn doesnt like it. Could you tell me how you got your men to talk?
Thanks
Ray

Another awesome project, Sorry for all these comments at once but once again i envy your arduino skills.

um yes, right skills, about that
nah all of these have fairly simple arduino code, it was figuring out how to get the computer side of things to work, that was the challenge
