New Hardware

Student sets of Arduino's have arrived!

Each set contains:
Arduino Uno
USB Cable
AC adapter
Half-sized Breadboards.

To check out a set, see Mr. Caine.

To get started on your home computer, see the tutorials at ladyada.net.

Note: As a gift with purchase, adafruit shipped a Raspberry Pi along with the arduinos if anyone is more interested in dealing with OSs rather than physical computing.
