Secret Knock Detecting Door Lock

This is easily one of the coolest Arduino projects I have come across. It is a great mix of all of the Arduino's capabilities including motor control.

Bulbdial Clock

I first saw this project a while ago and was hoping that a kit would be made since the necessary shape and stacking of the circuit boards make it a fairly complex undertaking. I am a sucker for a cool clock project, so this is definitely something I will be building in the future.

Peggy 2LE

I have wanted to build a Peggy 2 from Evil Mad Science for a while now, but the cost for the kit plus LEDs always stopped me. The Peggy 2LE on the other hand is a fair amount cheaper, so I might end up buying one of these for myself. 625 LED display here I come.

Arduino Prototyping Kit

I saw this on the Make Blog today and I am definitely going to buy a couple for myself. Called the HardCopy, it is an Arduino clone kit with a prototyping area included on the board.

This looks like a fantastic solution for the problem of integrating an Arduino into a project. In the past I either built an Arduino from scratch on a large prototyping board or bought a finished Arduino and wired it to a daughter board containing whatever additional circuitry I needed.
