Open Source Hardware, Vol. 1

So I picked up the Arduino not too long ago, since all the cool kids were doing it. Being a total noob to the world of electronics and open source gadgets, I tried to be a good student and take a bunch of notes.

I figured there were a lot of people just like me trying to learn this too, and could probably benefit from some of these projects. There’s kind of an order to when to do each project so that it builds on what you’ve already done- and by the end, I felt like I had a pretty good grasp of things.

Source code and other handy files are included on the tiniest, flattest USB sticks I could find (seriously about the size of a piece of Trident gum). They’re way snazzier than CDs…and my new laptop doesn’t even have a CD drive.

Well, I only got a few copies printed over at Lulu.com and had a couple extra lying around, so feel free to pick one up and let me know what you think. And hopefully I can help someone else get started the way others helped me!
