Phidgets Library for .NET released

PhidgetsdotnetI'm all about the Phidgets. I used them under .NET 2.0 Beta 2 for a Coding4Fun Article a few month back. I used COM Interop to talk to the phidgets library, but I just noticed that a .NET Phidgets Library was released yesterday at the University of Calgary. They've included lovely documentation and even plan to remove the COM dependancy and work directly via P/Invoke.

If you've ever considered working with Phidgets for a personal project, this is an even better time.

Got any ideas on a new project - and consequently a new Coding4Fun article - I could do using this new library?

Idea #1 - Keyboard controlled fan desk fan... Instead of "Help", F1 now means "set fan to speed 1"

Idea #2 - Pan & tilt webcam. Cooler yet, to control the camera on a different computer. Think video conferencing, IM, or home/baby security.

Idea #3 - Or... solve the Rubik's Cube, ala http://jpbrown.i8.com/cubesolver.html :)

My kids are always leaving the garage door open. You should create a phidget creation that can turn on a light when the door is open and shut it off when it is closed. :)
