[ELECTRON] Arduino for beginners - Re: new member Brian

[Ross Feilen]

Hello Seb,

I'm interested in the Arduino sessions because I've worked with  
Motorola uProcs and PICs before but not this (yet). If these sessions  
materialise I'm sure they would be very interesting and well received.

However we have been running the SOLDER group on Tuesday evenings (as  
on calendar at electronclub.org/webcalendar). It might be possible for  
us to change our day to Wednesday but I'm hoping that won't stop any  
of the SOLDER guys from being able to manage. Perhaps we could discuss?

There was a fair amount of interest generated at the Open Day as  
regards PCB building sessions I'd been holding in the SOLDER group,  
and next time one happens (few weeks probably) they're certainly open  
to all and will be advertised as such. Knowing there are lots of basic  
circuit board designs incorporating microcontrollers (and a DIY  
Arduino board design out there based on homebrew pcbs) perhaps this  
could be an interesting tie-in with such a workshop.
