Playing With The Arduino Microcontroller

I recently have this sudden craze to play around with microcontrollers and i must say its been quite a ride . Arduino is one such microcontroller which has so much support that it becomes really fun to play with and if your in need of help the arduino forums would be the best place to go.
The arduino runs on its own programming language which is very easy to work with , something similar to our typical programming languages like c++,java etc . Using arduino you can design a lot of interesting projects at a much cheaper price . For example you can control lights , fans , water heaters etc using either your computer via the internet or even using sensors like motion sensor etc all this can be done using 1 arudino board. Infact you realize that it building such projects end up being much more cheaper than buying a ready made product and not to forget the FUN you get building this stuff.

Arduino can be interfaced with loads of sensors , digital boards , LEDs , relays etc making it a very powerful tool . If you are fascinated by electronics but dont want to get into the details of designing and stuff , arduino is the way to go . COmbine it with great python , c++, java code on your system and you can create very powerful devices .
Im still working on creating loads of projects using arduino interfacing them with various sensors, relays etc . Its a lot of fun . FOr more details visit www.arduino.cc
