Control your Arduino and Pi projects with a PSP
Summary
We found many interesting ways to use Arduino and Pi web servers in our projects. We especially liked using the PSP because of it allowed us to reuse some of our old technology.
Some future PSP projects could include: using the PSP's special buttons and joystick, writing custom programs on the PSP, and communicating with our Nintendo DS.
