Make: Online : PC to real world interfacing USB board

PC to real world interfacing USB board

I haven't tried this board yet, $30, looks sweet - "Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The open-source IDE can be downloaded for free (currently for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux)." Link.

It's very sweet. We've been using it a lot at NYU, where I teach. Look for more on it in upcoming Make issues, hopefully, as I've been using it for all my projects. For more, see http://www.arduino.cc and my own set of code notes, http://www.tigoe.net/pcomp/code/archives/avr/arduino

Got mine yesterday! Arduino rocks! More at http://fundamental.antville.org/stories/1347451/

Be sure to round up a few LED's, a speaker, a few pushbutton switches, wireless breadboard, wires, and some resistors. Someone ought to put together an 'Arduino Fun Kit' with all the external devices used in the sample programs. You can send and rcv data on the USB port, but the sensors etc. make it all the better.
