I’ve recently made an installation for the first year grad exhibition at the DMA department. It involves the use a solenoid valve controlled from the Arduino board. Here you can find all the information about the piece, including the technical details of the circuit driving the valve.

I was able to run Arduino 010 on Mandriva Linux 2008. Basically, I had to install these the avr rpms from Fedora 8: avr-binutils-2.17-4.fc8.i386.rpm avr-gcc-4.1.2-5.fc8.i386.rpm avr-gcc-c++-4.1.2-5.fc8.i386.rpm avr-gdb-6.6-5.fc8.i386.rpm avr-libc-1.4.6-4.fc8.noarch.rpm avr-libc-docs-1.4.6-4.fc8.noarch.rpm
