I made an order on Thursday, and it turned up Friday.
I'm really impressed by the Arduino and the online commmunity it has spawned. I also ordered the book 'getting started with Arduino' by one of the founders, Massimo Banzi.
The book is really fun to read, gives a short history of the project with some really inspirational contextual information. Its accessible and is written in a way, like the design of the Arduino project, that is easy to get into and enables you to start doing 'stuff' immediately.
Arduino was developed to teach interaction design, and I'm hoping to pull it into some of the teaching that happens at the university, as well as developing my own projects using Arduino.
A big thanks to Tim at mindkits for being so helpful and getting my order dispatched overnight.
So what are YOU waiting for?
Get Tinkering!
