I’ll categorize these under Arduino, they’ll be more for me than the reader, and I will try to keep up. The truth is I spent the past 2.5 hours writing this page and when I saved the draft it saved an empty file, and that is annoying.
So….
The back of the box:
This has some more nifty project titles than did the last starter kit I worked with, and I wonder if Rebecca re-packaged the kits she ordered for the UofR FFA Arduino Crafting Group, or if she purchased kits with different packaging. So…. ’02 Spaceship Interface’; ’03 love-o-meter’; ’10 Zoetrope’ – I’m looking forward to these!
Look, it comes with a 171 page bound book of projects! 
BLINK!
So, Project 1, Get to Know Your Tools. Note: arduino.cc/tutorial .
One switch, one LED:
Serial Switch:
I did do the parallel circuit…
Two LEDs = Two Resistors! No matter where the leds are placed so longs as the connections are made and circuits closed:
That’s about all for now, given that WordPress has been very unreliable…..Getting Started II coming soon!
