need some ideas for a project

Hey.

I am pretty new with arduino, so i wondered if you guys could help me find some cool ideas for a project i am working on. I am simply putting some led strips on my desktop and building a solderingfan. Both will be controlled with PWM trough a small console on my desktop (with arduino of course). I also have the ability to turn on and off the main lighting in my room if i am working on LEDs or something like that.

However, this project does not really satisfy me, because i want to make more advanced stuff, so i was wondering if you guys had any ideas for something i could add and also control from my console.

Once again, i am pretty new with arduino, so i do not know to much yet.

Budget for this "addon": about 60$

Sorry, I also have no idea what could be useful to you :frowning:

I just try to add an IR remote control to my Arduino.

Only you can come up with ideas for projects. Use your imagination.
