Getting Started with Arduino

I've spoken before about my desire to try some different development ideas with the Arduino.

With a new year starting, I'm even more tempted to find some sort of new project to spend my spare time on. I'm not interested in robots, but it seems that plenty of others are interested in constructing all manner of different robots. But robots don't really interest me.

I've just noticed that O'Reilly have announced a book on the topic, Getting Started with Arduino. This just might give me more impetus to try an Arduino project of some description out.

All suggestions for a project welcome, until I find find my own.

Getting Started with Arduino is great

Hi Martin,

I've received my cope of Getting started with Arduino a few weeks ago. It's very basic, but it's a very good intro. I'm also thinking about what to build :)

Arduino & linux

Using linux? Load your Arduino Diecimila with Simple Message System from the archives at arduino.cc, then get my package of shell scripts from http://user.cavenet.com/rolandl, called SMS1.tgz.
This provides full IO & PWM control. AD is scaled to millivolts and CSV-formatted for import to most spreadsheets. GUI provided by xdialog command.
