The idea early on was to leverage existing Arduino libraries to connect with a standard USB mouse, specifically, the hardware would take the form of an Arduino Mega 2560 with a USB Host Shield.

It's of course backwards compatible with existing Arduino add-ons, but sets itself apart with a new USB controller with lower latency and driver-free operation on Mac and Linux.

Hexapod robot Watch this video on YouTube. “I designed, built, and programmed an Arduino powered hexapod from scratch over the last 3 months, and this video takes you through that journey!

The guts of this are controlled via an Arduino Mega 2560, with copious amounts of hot glue on display in true hacker style.
