A Arduino board

[TomH]

My Arduino board (Uno) hasn't become a robot or anything like that, but I think learned a lot from it, and the possibilities are as endless as the number of PWM ports you have. Be cool to see a FIRST league that uses arduino.

I got my first arduino about 5 months ago, right now I'm finishing up a kiwi bot with it as the microcontroler.

We are building a quad-copter with Arduino, our hope is to have the quadcopter and be able to communicate with a ground robot.

Actually I'm thinking of doing the same things. As I am NOT the programmer, but am CADder, I felt like it would help me to communicate to them what needed to be done. I have been working closely with a book and highly recommend it: Intermediate Robot Building by David Cook. Good luck.

I have recently started playing with an Arduino UNO yesterday and It is a great learning tool. It was my first experience with C. I am learning it along with a new programmer. We are just playing around with LED's and Servos.

If Anyone is interested you can integrate the Arduino boards with Processing. If you have never heard of Processing, it is a visual processing tool writen in Java.

Head over and check it out at http://processing.org/

If you have ANY questions on how to get it up an running with your Arduino board add me on skype jacob97061

I am happy to answer any questions and lend a helping hand. If you havn't seen it already, after last season I had gotten the kinect up and running and posted the code over in the programming forums.

I know the Arduino ide allows you to program in C/C++. I was wondering how similar programming in Arduino is to using C++ and the WpiLib library, specifically if you can program similarly to C++ in Arduino's software.
