Sometimes even Santa Claus needs help. Thankfully, the jolly fat guy’s got one of our favorite modders on his side. We visited Ben Heck’s Madison, Wisconsin workshop a few weeks ago for an Engadget Show segment and got to watch as the master put together a special holiday-themed project, the Naughty or Nice Meter, a big candy cane-accented box that’ll help tired parents “keep the kids in line” this holiday season. The box itself is actually a mostly hollow shell, with an Arduino, TI LaunchPad and a few other select select components in the rear that communicate with a specialized app, letting the parent in question adjust the needle based on their kids’ behavior. Nothing like a little manipulative fun in the spirit of the holidays! Check out our segment on Mr. Heckendorn just after the jump and click on through the source link to find out how to make a Naughty or Nice meter or your very own.Gallery: Ben Heck’s Naughty or Nice MeterContinue reading Ben Heck’s Naughty or Nice Meter knows if you’ve been bad or good (so be good for Arduino’s sake)Filed under: MiscCommentsSource: Element 14
