I know this has been covered here before, but I'm bringing a new Arduino based sensor board project to Scratch day at MIT. I documented it on my blog, and thought you'd like to see it:

The code is up there, and I'm hoping to release it as an Arduino Library as well.

Thanks for posting this! I saw it on Hackaday and have had a fun evening working with it.
Would you confirm that the code you posted on your blog is accurate? There's a few bits of weirdness in how it posted, with a string of int assigns wrapped in a long comment, and (what I assume is) a bitshift written as <> 7.
Thanks again for posting the code *and* for posting here! With comments disabled on your original post, I didn't have any clue how to contact you!

As a variant, yes

I've re-written it as an Arduino Library and released it on github. That should solve any formatting problems from the blog.

I get too much spam on the blog. You can follow me on google+ or email:

Hi osbock, because this is a website open to all ages, sharing personal contact information such as e-mail isn't allowed on the Scratch website. Maybe there's an alternative way for Scratchers to follow you?

Well, It would be nice If I could subscribe to just this topic (enhancement request?)
But anyway, I subscribed to the digest of this and the advanced forum. If I see a question there, I'll come back.
Sorry about the transgression.

I wanted to also point out that this is based on a program that was posted to the scratch forums long ago (I think Mike Donovan was the author)
I found this posting that is related, and has lots of good info on electrical connection and such:

You do know there is a scratch variant that allows you to interface the arduino without extra libraries?
