Butterfly Projects
Many fully usable projects have been built using the Butterfly as a base platform, often with few or no additional parts. There's an award-winning educational robot based around the Butterfly called the FlutterBot. There are free plans to convert the Butterfly into a portable AVR-ISP device (see Buttload) for programming a whole family of AVR devices. Several plans available on the web to convert a Butterfly into an MP3 player. There is also a popular book available from Smiley Micros for learning to program AVRs using C, which the Butterfly was designed around.
For example, there is a Youtube video of a school project; an "RC car automatically balancing and driving on two wheels," under Butterfly control.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
