[reemCGR]

@narudankk GTA:SA? It's been a while xD

[souljaLOVE]

try it with a N64 Controller



[DJMAX64]

Nine people never had a nes or a etch Sketch.

[XnolovelostX1]

What kind of code did you program the Arduino? Assembly? C?

[MrEffez]

Pure awesomness!

[dynapowerusa]

Haha that is very cool ;)

[TheBobo665]

Dear Santa....

[HBCult]

It would be awesome if you made it where you pushed a certain sequence of buttons and it clears the board.

[boaarmpit]

What's the resolution?

[sandykoong]

i kept imagining you as homer simpson

[Billy123575]

should make something to shake it to erase the drawing and bind that to one of the buttons.

[aplkr8]

Draw a 45 degree angle, then I'll be impressed.

[GENTLE2020]

Why when you press Right it goes to the left !!!

And when you press left it goes right !!!

[pr0n3]

This project would probably be "awesome" if you were able to actually design something with the NES and then have the etch-a-sketch draw it.........

Right now its sitting a bit below "cool".

[TuzonaAracno]

HDPO dañaste un control del family para eso

[ZirconCode]

Add cheatcodes =p

[AchkasovDmitry]

make a tron/snake game out of it!

[ChirpingBirdy]

hmm anyway to get it to react to a mic so that it can record your voice? heh

[keithcorcoran]

Since it is (aluminum?) dust inside, could you just rig a small fan or something to puff air inside the EAS to erase the drawing? Maybe tied to start button or something. I was thinking about doing this with a couple of continuous rotation servos and immediately wanted to figure out how to erase my drawing before even building the thing. Lol

[IAmKr1gg3r]

So uhh...what is the point of this?

[NeccoWecco]

@IAmKr1gg3r Because some people just like to invent things, no matter how mundane they are.

[Nov6emVm6brae6]

dude I thought you were drawing a swastika for a moment. you do know this is jewtube right?

[xpradaGx]

Can u play angry birds on this?

[ladangelo202]

Awesome! thanks for hosting the vid after you finished!

[Auragar]

Can you post source code?

[FrankfurtamMainxxl]

make it so when you press select it starts recording, and when you press select again it stops.... now when you press start you can play it, and it will work on its own xD

You can store up to 2 (a and b button) ... now get to work yo

[alpinedelta32]

I was totally thinking that last night. It would be cool to save your drawings:)

[FrankfurtamMainxxl]

@alpinedelta32 :) 

[elukok]

Why?

[hsiewayn]

Kiff, clear my schedule!

[frahs993]

This is really cool.

now try making some sort of snake game, where the line keeps growing and you can't run into yourself or the edge. (have a 2d array keep track of each position, so you can tell if a block is already black or not... though the resolution would be limited by the resolution of the stepper motors...)

[gkitchens1]

What about curved lines? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHAT ABOUT THE CURVES???? Some one think of the children!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!

[surgeyX]

@gkitchens1

Sex cauldron? I thought they closed that place down...

[ttk1opc]

Does it do diagonal lines?

[OrionSimm]

Swag.

[ortseamym]

Very cool! Can you do X and Y at the same time? To create circles you need to do that :-)

[alpinedelta32]

Thanks! Not at the same time but the inrements it moves are so fine, i have made it curve and draw diagonals that look perfect. Not with the controller though, only if I program a shape right into it. What I need is a joystick....

[bromaier]

better watch out when you shake it, wouldn't want to break something.

[nomad061310]

I saw this on engadget.com!

[iEatUglyNoobs]

Awesome.

[pigletslayer]

Awesome.
