Arduino

I got quite excited reading about Arduino this morning, so much so that I bought one. Its based around Wiring and Processing which are both cool projects in theiir own right.

In case you can’t be bothered to click the links, the system is basically a development board focused around the Atmel series of microcontrollers, namely the AtMega8 or AtMega168. It is designed to be used with ther own bootloader, software and programming language (Arduino).

Best of all, its all open-source and if you don’t want to build it yourself, its pretty cheap to buy pre-made too. I’m looking quite forward to playing with it when my board arrives.

Hurray!
