Hi, I also think like Json. For the first time you play with an arduino, use a board that has:
1. a usb connector for programming and i/o 2. pre-soldered connectors 3. use standard arduino connector arrangement (like in the arduino uno) For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNO-R3-ATmega328P-Development-Board-for-Arduino-Compatible-Free-USB-Cable-/191617917471 On Sun, Jul 31, 2016 at 9:03 AM, Jason Friedman <write.to.ja...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >> I have absolutely no knowledge about the Arduino, but I've seen clones >> advertised on e-bay for less than $2 - link below. >> >> Can anyone tell me if this as actually a working solution and if the >> low price is actually possible? >> >> >> >> http://www.ebay.com/itm/1PCS-Pro-Mini-atmega328-5V-16M-Replace-ATmega128-Arduino-Compatible-Nano-/152160908037?hash=item236d7f3305:g:MMcAAOSw2GlXLD~U >> >> > Arduino is probably the easiest / cheapest way to access analog sensors. > While quality of these do vary, I have had good experience with these very > cheap units.
