Operationally speaking, [Cameron] is reading in the dial’s pulses with an Arduino Nano and using a Python script to monitor the serial connection and translate the pulses to volume control.

The library also includes one example sketch (volume) for a simple exercise. The proposed hardware setup is very easy — just connect the CLOCK (Pin 5) of M62429 to D6 of Arduino while routing its DATA ...

The problem with using it along with Arduino-based gadgets is that you then need to use something like an Ethernet shield to provide the network connection.

You'll need an Arduino and some small miscellaneous electronics parts to make it happen, and if you're familiar with building on the Arduino (which we've talked about before), it shouldn't be too ...

I'm happy to flag this one, a new volume of the Arduino Project Handbook, with twenty-five more beginner-friendly electronics projects revolving around the Atmel-based Arduino Uno board.
