Interface Arduino with Skype via Processing

 Thomas Ness has documented some interesting thoughts and methods on interfacing the Processing language with the Skype API. In doing so, this allows notifications to be received from Skype and acted upon by other code. A fascinating by-product of this relationship is Processing and Arduino. Therefore with Thomas' theory one could create devices that take action once a message or call is received by Skype. From his page you can download the appropriate code and libraries, and an Arduino example is also included. 


To get started head over to Thomas' project page. And for more, we're on twitter and Google+, so follow us for news and product updates as well. 


When making your own Skype-Arduino or other project, increase reliability and project lifespan by using a protoshield for your final circuit. When doing so, consider our range of ProtoShields. From the tiny LeoStick to the Mega range, we offer a complete range for you to work with.
