Anybody have any cool Arduino project ideas? I have the itch to build something

@nanko challenge: use an avr chip without the arduino's circuitry

@namark fun challenge indeed! Thanks for the rec

@nanko Here's one I've been kicking around but probably won't get to this winter. There's a musical ornament set called Santa's Marching Band - see the link below. These can be had used pretty cheaply, but they only play a preprogrammed set of carols, which gets mighty old over an extended advent/holiday season. So the idea is to gut the controller box and replace its contents with an Arduino that reads a simple MIDI file and gives the bellringers the appropriate commands to play it.

@khird Great idea! Not too difficult, and high fun factor. Thanks!
