Arduino

I suppose I had better make a formal introduction to a new project I'm working on.

I've started to play with the Arduino micro-controller. I picked up the Mega version of this and a bunch of dodads to go with it. LEDs, SPST push buttons, DIP LEDs, RGB LEDs, LCD screen, capacitive buttons, relays and things like that. As you can see from my first two blog posts on the upper right, I've successfully been able to manipulate the pulse-width-modulators, and the delay functions. Well as of today, you can add the digital inputs, the analog to digital inputs and a 16X4 white on blue LCD screen to that list!. Pretty cool stuff. Fairly simple, but I've only scratched the surface of this thing.

Keep watching for new posts and projects I'm working on to make use of this thing. I may need to use this one as my test bed, then buy some of the smaller units like the mini or uno or something like that to make into permanent devices.
