Always had a taste for tinkering with electronics. I have an Ashton Scholastic book from many many years about building a robot your home computer can control, but modern computers have moved on rather from being easily capable of that.
Enter the microcontrollers. I have a PIC somewhere, but there really isn't a standard development board for that, and in any case it's programmed in assembler which I haven't touched in many years.
And then I discovered a local supplier for the popular Arduino. These are programmed in C and have a much easier flashing process than a PIC. And going back to C is different from what I program with in my dayjob.
So, anyone else played with an Arduino?
Wade.
