Kevin from OlympiaCircuits, the creators behind the Arno board, came up with an amusing prank to pull on your friends on the forthcoming April Fool's Day. It works by exploiting the mouse emulation capabilities of the Atmega 32U4 chip on the Arno board. Head over to their blog for a complete explanation and grab the code below from OlympiaCirtuits' account here on codebender.
We would love to see any videos you might capture pulling this off. :D
Do you have more ingenious ways of getting your friends go mad with fun diy projects?Tips us on twitter!
Happy April Fool's Day!
