Arduino

I know Mr_love_monkey has (had) one, but has anyone else?

Just ordered the starter kit from Earthshine Electronics.

Happy memories of using the Philips breadboard kits as a child back in the 60s and looking forward to doing stuff with this...

Re: Arduino

Re: Arduino

Takes me right back to when I was a little kid and just getting interested in electronics. I was given one of these:



Made by a company called "Brayhead" though I think the one pictured must be a clone. All the connections just clipped together so no soldering needed and you could make several different kinds of AM radio receiver, though where we lived then only the transistor ones would actually get any real signals. Happy days.

Hope you get great pleasure from your kit Cobby.

Re: Arduino

Heathkit (mainly radio) or Velleman were the best kit producers
