BlinkM + Arduino = BlinkMuino
Todbot has a wonderful article on how to use the BlinkM Smart LEDs with Arduino programs. You will need a low cost AVR programmer, some additions to the Arduino environment, and simple hardware hookup.
You can pick up the mentioned USBtinyISP programmer in the Adafruit Store.
I can’t wait to give this a try.

Hmm… am I the only one sick of sticking the “uino” suffix to pretty much every project Arduino is involved somehow? When I connect an I2C clock chip to Arduino, does it become “Clockuino”?
Ok, I admit that’s a little different case – mea culpa 😉 But my gripe about everything-duino in general remains valid 😉
