i got some boards and invited skunks to "play", never got a response. Its amazing what you can do with a little L-O-G-I-C. On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 10:17 PM, Jamal Mohamed <jamal.worx@gmail.com> wrote:

Anyone out there used the Arduino platform http://www.arduino.cc/ ?

Seen some interesting smartphone OS that guys have cobbled together based on this http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/02/pyxis-os-demo-video-sports-high-productio...

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 quite a few boards. 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. w/regards SNN
