Arduino - baby steps
the "Hello world!" of physical computing, apparently...getting an LED to flash. mission accomplished, in that case.
the LED was "salvaged" from an old wall-wart power adapter, which i quite brutally cracked open with force as the screws were non-standard.
i did manage to nicely separate the two conjoined boards anyway with a tad of patience and my trusty leatherman. yes, definitely need a trip to maplin for sensors, resistors, and some more appropriate tools i think.
