It annoys the crap out of me that young people waste their time with social media and their stupid damn phones instead of doing things like this. The capabilities of the Arduino or the Microchip development systems would have set you back high four figures in 1970’s dollars and only engineers would even be allowed near them. And today’s chips and development systems are infinitely superior and you would be hard pressed to spend more than a few hundred bucks on them with the use of your PC.

Is Arduino the same as Raspberry Pi?

I am over 50 and taught myself Arduino 18 months ago for a cosplay project. I used a teeny little chip to control some leds and sound generation. Came out great!

Arduino is one of several low-cost microcontrollers that let the average Joe be part of the coming Internet of Things (IoT).
They are becoming so cheap they will be in everything.
For example, salt and pepper shakers at restaurants will probably some day have a wireless Internet connection so the owner can automatically see if any need to be refilled.
Why? Simple. Because we can.

Thank you, Rooster!
I’ve been sick of the way affordable software keeps getting dumbed down.
