[Noisebridge-discuss] getting started with arduino

[Mitch Altman]

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.)

 

 

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