Arduino compatibles and other electronics for beginners!
If you're getting started with the Arduino platform you'll be interested in my experiences as I investigate several 'building blocks' that can be attached to an Arduino module. I normally source these building blocks from the Far East (China, Malaysia) but sometimes from the UK.
I'll also look at the very simple C++ code you'll need to get the Arduino's microcontroller (usually, but not always, an ATMEL MEGA328P) to 'do stuff' with the modules - much easier than you might think.
Some simple electronics, analogue as well as digital, can go a long way in glueing components together so I'll explore these as they're needed for my projects.
Any other interesting gadgets and gizmos that I might find along the way!
