That's all nice and good :-) If people are starting out with Arduino but like to take more control over the AVR because they like programming in C or even just starting out with C, then do get `avrdude` package (available on Debian and Ubuntu) from the repository. As Ujwol pointed out you can create lot of fun stuffs with arduino for e.g., you can create mesh network (with zigbee module) and much much more (the possibilities are endless, you just need a great idea and a good deal of hard work ;-) Another resource that I've been recommended (besides the excellent http://arduino.cc) is the legendary Aussie hacker Jonathan Oxer's book `Practical Arduino`. I intend to create something cool someday besides the usual toys that everyone creates during the course of learning. Till then check out this cool little penetration tester http://www.hak5.org/episodes/episode-725 :-) Enjoy! -- Cheers Ishwor Gurung Key id:0xa98db35e Key fingerprint:FBEF 0D69 6DE1 C72B A5A8 35FE 5A9B F3BB 4E5E 17B5 -- FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] Mailing List Guidelines: http://wiki.fossnepal.org/index.php?title=Mailing_List_Guidelines Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/
