Arduino goodies

Jo, Jeremy and Jon (talking to Alex)As Jon says below we went to the big city for a workshop. Beginners electronics using Arduino boards with the Arduino man Massimo himself. After getting an LED to flash slowly I managed to make it flash with a bit of speed to it. Next up was an LED ramping up and down.

Next up was the potentiometer hooked up to the Piezzo sensor. By changing the voltage Chris and I were able to make an awful racket like a Theramin crossed with a cat.
