Re: Arduino Microcontrollers

Just got one.  big_smile  I have the Sparkfun Inventor's Kit. I made a weather station with it (see Advanced Topics, there's a topic about it there).


So long, 1.4.

Re: Arduino Microcontrollers

I'm working on a ping controlled probe, but the total price would be over 150, so I have to wait to mow lawns over the summer to buy the ping sensor, and since i can't get more than one, it has to move around the robot using motors.
