I'd like to start my kids playing with an external board with Scratch 1.4/BYOB, preferably one where I can (a) add different kinds of sensors over time, and (b) be able to control some different devices like led, display, sound, motors. Ideally, I'd also like to be able to do this from both Mac and PC.

What would you recommend I use? Information on Pros / cons also welcome.

Thanks!

I recommend this. It's pretty cheap, and I can only think of Pros, no Cons:

Thanks, chalkmarrow! That one does look good.

Have you used it with Scratch 1.4, perhaps using DaveK2's new Delphi-based bridge? I'm curious about how smoothly the whole thing works together.

Arduino IS good, but it costs about 100 USD, and that's a lot in Australia.
