My Arduino beginners kit finally arrived! So that’s my evenings entertainment sorted!!
If anyone out there needs some Arduino kit, or components, check out this site earthshinedesign.co.uk. They offer fantastic customer service, and rock bottom prices!

I’ll update later with some news on how the kit works out!

Just had the confirmation Email from tinker.it that my Arduino starter kit has shipped, hopefully it will arrive tomorrow! I also picked Andy up a starter kit at a rock bottom price! So now he can build his EMF meter to look for ghosts!!!

Okay, so no sign of my Arduino board, but I did upgrade to the recently released iPhone OS 3.0, so far everything is fine, and I took the opportunity to change all the music of my phone.

Also my Arduino Ethernet shield & LCD shield arrived!
If only I had something to plug them into…….

Hopefully my Arduino kit will be dispatched tomorrow, been doing a lot of reading and I have a few ideas for projects. Youtube also seems to offer a wealth of information. (I always thought Youtube was for videos of farts and other horridness!)

I did secretly hope I would come home and it would be waiting for me today, even though the website says it won’t be dispatched until tomorrow!!!! Although I did come home and found me xxxx beer kit waiting for me!

Yes I know It’s been all quiet on the blogging front for quite some time!

Many things have changed, new house, new phone, new laptop, new toys galore….

My latest toy is an Arduino board. I first discovered them almost two and a half years ago. (According to my bookmarks on Del.ico.us) However I never ventured any further than just reading about them.
Then after a recent MSN conversation with my good friend Dave, I decided it was time!

I’ll post some more info on this, once the board arrives, should be a few days away though, as it’s a new revision of the Arduino board, and nowhere has stock.

Stay Tuned!….
