The first of many!Max, in response to your 'wibbly wobbly' input from Reeds, use a Non-inverting Op-Amp, easy to set up, and it'?d sort that entirely.
so happy to be the first guy using reeds
And indeed I shall (because you and Bart told me to )I'd say go with the Mega, saves you a lot of time.
Absolutely. And I recommend buying one on ebay. These cheap ones are fake, but because arduino ALLOWS copying the board and selling them and they have the blueprints online, they really are exact replicas. They work fine, I've had mine for 2 years now and it still works. Or you can go with an official one, I don't know what their advantage is, haha. What I do know is that they are 3 times as expensive.
Thanks! It's funny how people tell me that cable is "rare" and "hard to find", yet, NXT uses it to also connect to the computer. Now I can have 2! So when you also referred to "Pins", those were the little holes in the black rows (not being very technical now), correct?
Thanks!That is about what I paid for mine from this seller.
T**trim**
I get mine at an official dealer. The guys offers me discounts on everything he sells. That and if you do manage to blow it up, my dealer gives 100% warranty. The Uno models come with stickers too
Yeah, great that you get discount. But Lamb doesn't, and he will probably not get any warranty on his arduino either if he buys a real one in america.
If he buys from a legitimate dealer he most likely will get warranty on his product. Electronics have a high chance of being dead on arrival.
Okay then. You will pay 40$ extra for the warranty on a 20$ product. Lamb, you must decide for yourself what you want. An official one might be a bit better (well, my fake one still works fine and I've never heard any complaints about the fake ones anyways), because it is made by a trusted company. For me it wasn't worth the money.
Eh, not sure I will go for the discount. The buttons and all are already setting me back about $75 already, and although I do have a few hundred saved up, I'd rather not break the bank. Right now, I think one off Ebay will be good for now. Besides, having an expensive board with a discount (and warranty....) may still cost much more than the one off Ebay. I'll look into this tomorrow. I'll try to order this soon so I can have a good chance of getting it before school starts in 2 weeks.
