I got a few arduino boards too....

Tested a small program to run motors and for sensors to pick up objects - quite interesting, and easy too.

I have not done much, but I have played with them abit.

These things are quite robust - and one small board like the "arduino duemilanove" or the great "atmega" - can do quite a lot - not discounting:

>digital
>analogue
>serial
>parallel

Input and output.

Such boards are the things that create those car-tracking devices and car-alarms, not forgetting the door and window sensors.

Its practically a computer in itself that you can use to run things remotely. Guys should really look at this.
