There's also a bunch of BoArduino kits available for people to build at Noisebridge. They're $17 each, and do everything an Arduino does, except you need a USB-TTL cable, which we also have for $19. (The upside of this is that you can dedicate a BoArduino to a project without wasting the USB interface that comes with Arduino.)<BR>

I'm really glad you're doing the Arduino class, Rachel. :)<BR>

If a couple people reply with +1, I'll put up a wiki<BR>> page for people to sign up and we can work out a time.<BR>> <BR>> Regarding the arduino Mega order that Christie is putting together, I<BR>> don't think it's the best one to start with, partly because it has more<BR>> parts and partly because at $65 it is more expensive than, for example,<BR>> a Bare Bones Board or even the original Arduino, which runs more like<BR>> $20-$25. Since it's an open source project there are lots of versions<BR>> floating around, kind of like Linux. Given that, it doesn't *really*<BR>> matter which one you get.<BR>> <BR>> Rachel<BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Noisebridge-discuss mailing list<BR>> Noisebridge-discuss@lists.noisebridge.net<BR>> https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss<BR></body>
