Hey blog. Im kind of new to this, but I want to get started. My name is Brady and I'm a total electronics, arduino, and programming geek. I mostly develop on linux Ubuntu and are the type of person who wants to get down and dirty to find out how things work. I program mostly in Java, Python, and C++. I have never stuck to one of them specifically for a while. I have just jumped around with them and found the best and worst part of them and can never grasp on to one of them for long periods of time. Sometimes because I dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu, I develop on .NET and specifically C#. The reason I like arduino... It's awesome. It's easy to use and you can do so much with it. Here are a couple of photos of things I have worked on lately:
An arduino and breadboard holder. I made this with a router. I plan on using a detail sander to take of the paint and then stain the wood. The board is also warped so I want to use my friends planer to flatten it.
This is a 4 digit led display. I used an arduino chip and soldered it right on the board. I used my arduino mega battery backpack to power it while I took the picture. I would post the code but I lost the it due to a power surge while i was adding comments to the code
P.S Sorry for the bad pictures. I took them with my crappy phone
Nice work. You'll find that you can spend a little time building a good prototyping tool, such as the one you've pictured, and it will save you a lot of time in the future. It's really tough to find something that's exactly what you want for sale somewhere. I made my own development shield for my Arduino. It has some buttons, an LCD, and access to the ports as well. Good luck and have fun.
