FYI: Tim and I will be attending the opening of ''and the world is ours...'' at compactspace gallery in LA, from 6-9pm. [http://www.compactspace.com/] All are invited to attend.
* Homework for next week: Read pages 1-42 of "Getting Started With Arduino" by Massimo Banzi. This introduces the Arduino microcontroller, a brief bit of what it does, and also describes your first basic activity with the Arduino, writing and uploading the basic LED blinking program. * NOTE: I will use "Arduino" and "Freeduino" interchangeably: they are nearly identical. The official Arduino is manufactured by one particular group in Italy, the Freeduino is one of many clones of the Arduino made by a company here in the US. Both use the same programming environment and have the same capabilities, so we don't really have to worry about the distinction.
