I hooked up a pair of healthy ammeters to the Arduino - unscrewed the shunts from them, and through the resistance on the PWM I hung the outputs. Immediately I remembered 3 application options (use zero, one pampering :)): - measurement of processor load (just now, 2-core processors have gone); - displaying the speedometer and tachometer readings from racing games; - there was also an idea to make VU-meter for Winamp - until the hands reached. Actually, here is a photo to estimate approximately how it looks: And a photo showing the measurement of loading a 2-core WinRAR processor: There is also a video with a little of the revised version of TORCS:
PS This was the first post that stuck in the sandbox, and for which an invite was received. As it turned out, it does not automatically go to the blog, so I put it here. :)
