Any arduino coders here?

Good day all.

A quick off topic post.

Just wanted to know if anyone else here plays about with the Arduino microcontroller platform.

Best Regards.

I've only used PICs, in C and ASM. Apparently arduino's are a lot easier to start with, since the commands are more like spoken language. Is there something specific you want to make with one?

I program the arduino in C++, I can write it, but not speak it

I've currently got 4 arduinos in various shapes/forms, which will be increasing significantly once I've tested my new custom sheild PCBs that are currently in the post somewhere.

They're quite a good bit of kit, and the new ARM based one looks good, but my current project is designed around the Mega, so I can't justify playing with it just yet.

Jonathan: I have no current on going projects with my Arduino's, I just wanted to find out if others here also used it.

Maybe I should I put the title as "Off Topic - Any arduino user here?", as the current title does sound like I am asking for help.

i have a mini controlling a bubble tube, and currently testing my uno which will convert to a mini when i'm happy with the design to temp control a homebrew cupboard.

i'm really basic with mine as i only started playing with one a few months back, it's something i wish they had when i was at school

I'm using Arduino Pro Mini's in various RC projects.

I've got a couple of Arduinos, I have an on-going project to create a MIDI synth controller that plays like a harmonica. I have programmed an arduino to act as a computer input for a friend's wacky idea. Nice Toy !

I've got one to play around with with, not done anything with it yet. I plan to have a go with GRBL https://github.com/grbl/grbl, another thing that I am interested in making is a lightshow which responds to music. I do a fair bit of coding in my day job so shouldn't be a problem getting going :)
