[Swansea Hackspace] Arduino Starter kit

[Emyr Morris]

yes, very expensive - I have had mine from the outset, when very little was
available on eBay

as I have said before, the 'kit' and related tutorials were an easy way
back into electronics and embedded programming after being out of it for
many years. I found my old Pic on the weekend... that was programmed from
the parallel port of my PC - I can not remember when I last had a PC with a
parallel port available on it! I'm feeling old now!

I will be interested in bulk ordering, especially for XBee modules and
boards :-)
