> 3 dayGreat device. I bought 3 of these and they are my go-to controller for some pretty sophisticated DIY projects. Do read about how not to over-drive the pins (demanding too much current from them). And, DO read about the difference in the +5v and Vin pins. There is a company that sells just the processor chip. They are reasonable (pkg 3) and I recommend having them on hand in case Murphy stops by for a visit. If you follow basic principles and NEVER try connecting a pin to something for trial & error but instead, be certain of the voltage AND current potential that you are supplying (or demanding), and this beautiful device will work like a horse. When it comes to your connection to the computer, some Windows serial portage issues arise but its a matter of persistence. The Arduino IDE (programmer) has ways to let you see how things are going and which PORTs are connected and working. This is the only part that can be frustrating (other than writing software bugs. :-) Enjoy.. heres what I think about it and how I use it this week:

> 3 dayI purchased the Arduino for hobby electronics. It has been really easy to use and the software support is great even on Linux. Be sure to purchase the USB cable to connect it to your computer.

> 3 dayI ordered four for prototyping, and not for permanent use. The price was a fit for these Refurbished units, not brand new off the line. All of them had an offset (not straight) power barrel. I spotted many solder (some good, some questionable) repairs, and an off center crystal on a couple. There are fingerprints all over mine, not a biggy. I checked each one with a volt meter, and a sketch with an 7 Segment Display counter. They work fine for the prototyping. But I would not count on putting them into a permanent application. If youre on a budget, and need them without documentation. Prepare to check it over, including pressing the Amtel Chip into the socket for a proper fit. Then these are for you! Arguably, the seller should remark they are refurbished and may come only in a static bag with USB cable only and are shipped from China!!
