Introduction

As you may have guessed this blog is going to be about my learning experience with micro-controllers.
I just ordered an Arduino Uno Rev 3 Inventors Kit from Spark Fun Electronics.

I thought it might be fun to post some pictures, videos and other things as I learn about this, maybe it will be useful to me in the future or perhaps other people who are just starting out with micro-controllers.

I am not an engineer, my electronics experience is somewhat limited. I have experience with Campbell Scientific data loggers and various environmental sensors, some wiring and soldering experience.  I also have a bit of programming experience, in MatLab, Python, IDL, HTML, and PHP.  However, most of my experience is with MatLab and Python.

My kit hasn't even arrived yet, but I'm so excited I thought I would start the blog today just by writing this introduction.

It will only be linked to my main blog (justinbeckers.blogspot.com) a few times (i.e. this post and maybe one or two more). I don't want to get the blogs crossed up too much and I use the other blog/pages for my research activities.
