Contest: Win a Free Copy of Our Coding4Fun Book!

image I’ve decided to setup a simple contest to give away a free copy of our book, Coding4Fun: 10 .NET Programming Projects for Wiimote, YouTube, World of Warcraft, and More.  Entering is simple.  Post a reply to this forum post located at:

http://www.brianpeek.com/forums/p/1012/3258.aspx

And to make it a bit more interesting, here’s a topic for your post:  How have you coded for fun?  Write up a couple sentences on any fun project you’ve tackled at some point in your spare time.  I won’t disqualify you if you don’t, but I’d love to hear about your projects, and I’m sure others would too.

Make sure you are registered on this site with a valid email address and are logged into your account so I have a way to get in touch with you if you are the winner.  No, this isn’t some elaborate scheme to harvest email addresses…

Entries must be received by Saturday, February 28th at 11:59pm EST.  One person will be randomly selected and contacted shortly thereafter and I will send them a copy of the book, free of charge.  That’s it…good luck!

Update: I'm turning off comments for this post to ensure people post in the forum to enter...if you've left a comment, please post in the forum otherwise you won't be counted...thanks!

Using a really cool WinMote library, I found somewhere : ):

 I interfaced the WiiMote

 to a Microcontroller (basic stamp)

  that interfaced to a Remote Control Dragonfly.

When the WiiMote is tilted to the right, the Dragonfly turns right.

Tilt up, to goes up.

Thanks for making this project much more easily to achieve (due to your library).
