 The library will enable the Arduino to be manually controlled by an operator entering commands (for debugging, or to trigger events and change the configuration on an adhoc basis). It will also allow commands to be stored for later execution (changing the normal programmed behaviour of the application without having to recompile and reload the Arduino). The library will enable the Arduino to be manually controlled by an operator entering commands (for debugging, or to trigger events and change the configuration on an adhoc basis).

 I also plan to use an AVL Tree to store the current program within my Command Script Interpreter, again saving precious Arduino memory. The program lines would be keyed by line number, so they can be automatically sorted into the correct order and retrieved sequentially, or directly (when a goto command is executed). I also plan to use an AVL Tree to store the current program within my Command Script Interpreter, again saving precious Arduino memory.

I'm sure someone else has already come up with a data file format that describes this - I just need to find it and write a program to understand it.
  
 After that is done, it should be a trivial matter to make the puppet react to sounds or changes in light, by adding a few extra detectors. It could also be controlled using my Command Script Interpreter or Web Server. After that is done, it should be a trivial matter to make the puppet react to sounds or changes in light, by adding a few extra detectors.

 +===== Knock-Knock Doorbell =====
 +
 +I have a problem with certain delivery companies. They don't seem to train their people to recognise and use a doorbell. They tap lightly on my door, so as not to disturb me, then run away with my parcel.
 +
 +One obvious way to solve this problem would be to put a sign on my door saying "please ring the bell". Unfortunately as my street is near to a school, I suspect many of the children who pass by each day would gladly accept the invitation.
 +
 +So the idea I'm thinking of is to make a small Arduino project that can detect someone tapping on the door, and respond by ringing the doorbell. The plan is to use a piezoelectric sensor to detect vibrations, filter out any background noise, then use a relay to "press" the doorbell switch for the visitor.
 +
 +Another way I could detect someone knocking would be to install an ornate brass door knocker. This could be wired up on the inside of the door so that it shorts together two pins of the Arduino when it is at rest. When the visitor lifts the lever off the anvil, it would break the circuit and ring the bell before they've had a chance to knock on the door.
