Matt Mechtley is responsible for this maker’s dream project: getting a classic Nintendo Power Glove to work with custom games by replacing it’s brain with an arduino, implanting an accelerometer for motion detection, and using a bluetooth modem for wireless connectivity. He’s outdone himself with downloadable code, schematics, this awesome video, and an Instructable to top it off.

Oftentimes makers will build MAME cabinets that resemble old-time arcade games, but ultimately they’re just PCs with buttons and joysticks wired in. With the Coffee Table MAME Console, we’re going to build a stripped-down version of the arcade machine. It doesn’t need a monitor because you can use your TV, and instead of having the computer inside the enclosure, the console connects to your PC via Bluetooth.

My prefered solution for general router console access is via a Bluetooth connection. This Bluetooth connectivity is provided with a Bluetooth module such as the "BlueSMiRF" module sold by SparkFun (see note below). The Bluetooth connection is based on the SPP/RFCOMM profiles which this module supports. Access from Windows, Macs, and Linux systems quite easy. I use hyperterm on Windows-based systems and minicom on Linux-based systems.

"Let's be clear: Walking around with a Bluetooth device in your ear is pure douchebaggery. There is no excuse for it."

"By simply removing the speaker cover, it charges your headset and turns into a flash storage device. You can charge the headset directly from any USB port! Support up to 8GB* microSDHC format. With BlueTrek Bizz, your life has never been easier."

"The new Plantronics Voyager 855 headset offers a convertible design and immersive sound experience for calls as well as listening to music on Bluetooth enabled mobile phones with stereo A2DP."

"Finally someone has combined the two things we love most -- Bluetooth headsets and microSD storage -- into one, sweet package."

"Sleek and compact, it has low-profile keys that provide a crisp, responsive feel and function keys for one-touch access to Mac features."

"If you liked the Star Trek Communicators that have been selling on eBay, check this out. She is a Star Trek Barbie doll with imbedded bluetooth headset! "
