Butterfly Projects
Many fully usable projects have been built using the Butterfly as a base platform, often with few or no additional parts. There's an award-winning educational robot based around the Butterfly called the FlutterBot. There are free plans to convert the Butterfly into a portable AVR-ISP device (see Buttload) for programming a whole family of AVR devices. Several plans available on the web to convert a Butterfly into an MP3 player. There is also a popular book available from Smiley Micros for learning to program AVRs using C, which the Butterfly was designed around.
For example, there is a Youtube video of a school project; an "RC car automatically balancing and driving on two wheels," under Butterfly control.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
