Picture Pages : Getting Started with Arduino!

It's alive!

It's alive!

I've finally gotten around to messing with Arduino, and it's been a lot of fun! I picked up an "Experimentation Kit" from Adafruit and it contained everything I needed to get started, including a little booklet of circuit examples.

I don't know that I've gained any programming insight from my experimentations, but I'd wager most developers would enjoy this sort of thing. It could make an excellent Christmas gift for that hard-to-buy-for geek in your family!

    OMG I have been eyeballing this kit since last year. Is it fun!? I want one!

    What have you built so far?

    It’s been a lot of fun to mess around with. I’ve done all the example circuits, and a few mix-matches…nothing too cool.

    I’m having a hard time coming up with a first ‘real’ project.
