New Hobby Time: Microcontrollers and Electronics

Well I’ve decided to pick up on a new hobby that relates the digital world that I live in other than more web development. I’ve recently been heading over to sparkfun.com and browsing their different products. To my delight they have all kinds of cool breakout and development boards that a hacker like me can fiddle around with. I picked up a new breadboard and an Arduino Duellimenov some LEDs and resistors and went to town. I got my blinky lights going at my desk and loving it like Mickey Ds.. I’ve been experimenting with the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) which make the LEDs look more like candles flickering. I was lucky enough to grab a course book on Digital Fundimentals from a co-worker which will hopefully enlighten me with more knowledge about circuitry and microcontrollers. I’ve started learning on the Atmel AVR series and am working my way up to the bad boy ARM processor. I’ll keep everyone posted with my new stories and pictures of my new projects and creations. Well thats all until next time, keep in touch with yourselves.
