Arduino!!!!



I've had a bit of a downtime in the last couple weeks, so I've been playing around with Arduino to explore the wonderful world of physical computing. I used to do breadboarding in highschool, but haven't done much since then. Recently, I listened to the Arduino founder on one of the FLOSS Weekly podcasts and was hoping to find some free time to play around with programming the ATMega microcontroller.

After having played with it a bit and making some blinkenlights and music to go along with it, I think I'm ready to move on to some real interfacing with server instrumentation and monitoring data ...

Getting server alerts on circuits you designed yourself, now that would be cool!
