Arduino?
« on: December 30, 2008, 05:08:03 AM »
I've just begun constructing my first robot (loosely following the $50 robot tutorial).

I've seen some things about a platform called Arduino.

I'm very new to electronics and robotics (although i'll start my engineering course at university in a few months).

I'd just like to know what it is? what it does and if it's possible/easy enough to make a similiar robot to the $50 robot using this platform (or whatever it is).

Thanks. =D

Edit: Nevermind, silly noob me forgot to use the forum search tool. sorry.
