Haven't done any electronics since school, but the Arduino looks like it'll take a lot of the pain out of it. I’m very interested too.

I've been meaning to pick one up for a while and am super enthusiastic after reading this post today: http://www.botanicalls.com/twitter/ Using arduino a potted plant can post twitter messages when it needs to be watered!

I'm a long-time electronics tinkerer, but not for a while. I used to solder light sensors & mics to my Commodore 64 and have it talk to passers-by (err, like my mum) as a wee laddie. Since this bit of kit has usb and a number of outputs, it is just the sort of thing to hook-up a WOPR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOPR) blinkenlichten display...something I've always wanted :-) I could provide a decent soldering iron and an old multimeter if some hw is required? Linc has suggested doing a brute-force lock picker with this (I'm thinking of doing a total-newbie lock-picking session, one of my old and dubious interests)..which could get, ah, interesting. Ian.

Come one come all! I am not planning to present anymore than a brief introduction, followed by hands on work... here is a board, install the software, make it do something. It will be a exercise in "hurdle removal" for anyone even marginally interested in transitioning from screen output to motor output. If you have an Arduino or experience, please bring it along and pitch in. Absolutely no one can waste my time on this one. Come one come all!

I'm interested (longtime MAKE reader, never fiddled with a PIC or an Arduino). Problem: I haven't coded anything more than a dumb shell script in about 20 years. Am I going to be wasting Lincoln's time? Dave Ph Sweet! I’m interested (longtime MAKE reader, never fiddled with a PIC or an Arduino).
