Anyone doing any projects or hobbies with Arduino? If not we can setup a GS club and make some makeshift (jugari) list of things. What do you think?
Here’s what they say:
“Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.”

Re: Arduino: Open-source prototyping platform
working on one right now... my first one actually. I'm using the Uno R3. realized today that I need another component before I can proceed with the rest of the project - will order it on SparkFun later today.
Re: Arduino: Open-source prototyping platform
ummm what? 
Re: Arduino: Open-source prototyping platform
I"m actually more leaning towards radio controlled stuff. I’m a big fan of wireless. Something like a radio controlled car:
RC Car Controlled Via the Web | Hack N Mod
Will start doing some research and purchasing tomorrow.
Re: Arduino: Open-source prototyping platform
What what?
Re: Arduino: Open-source prototyping platform
How is this different from microcontroller and fpga kits that are used in universities?
Re: Arduino: Open-source prototyping platform
these don't need the expensive IDEs and toolflows that the average uC or fpga dev kits need. but otherwise these are a much simpler version of those. fpgas will most likely need hdl coding for anything serious, uC is less esoteric.
i'd personally go for a raspberry pi than an arduino kit, they are fairly old tech.
Re: Arduino: Open-source prototyping platform
Crystal clear.
Re: Arduino: Open-source prototyping platform
Oh yeah. I do stuff like this everyday. In fact I just built an LED dimmer that can be controlled by a mouse.
(Sorry, it just made me feel good to write that out. I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about though I did read that website with much interest.)
Re: Arduino: Open-source prototyping platform
The whole thing what? I have no idea what any of this is…its okay i just won’t join the club. 
Re: Arduino: Open-source prototyping platform
But ur the president. How else will we fund the club without you? 
Re: Arduino: Open-source prototyping platform
I suppose I can still give my blessings for the club and let you lead us all. You seem to know whats going on.
