Lets go with Arduino and proto board for first round
Supplies
which fits a proto board
RBBB - Really Bare Bones Board - Freeduino - Arduino-Compatible processor ?? about 13 bucks, rs232 need a port cable and converter maybe -- page lists a bundle at about 24 bucks which has everything? You need only one set of these even if you have several Arduinos you may want to look at [1]
- protoboard
- protoboard jumper wire ( can be salvaged from phone or similar cable )
- LED's ( just low power, any particular color )*
- LED resistors about 200 --- 400 ohms
Tools
Computer -- almost any operating system Serial port -- USB or RS232
Needle nose plyers ( harbor freight, at about 4 bucks? )
Small Diagonal Cutters or other wire cutters ( harbor freight, at about 4 bucks? )
Wire stripper ( harbor freight, at about 4 bucks? )
Solder Iron with fine tip and solder ( cheap is cheap, get a good one with plated tip and thermostatic control )
Multimeter can be pretty basic ( harbor freight, at about 4 bucks when on sale )
Software and Downloads
- Arduino Development environment -- see [2]
- Good to learn a little bit about C and/or go over the Arduino tutorials
You can try writing programs even befor you have your hardware, and why not. It may take a few hours to get the hang of it.
