A lovley little bit of hardware that makes building interesting electronic thingies a little bit more accesible.

Toy hacking, robotics, and interactive art are just a few of the uses these things have been used for.

Many of the projects in the makerverse are based on them, and their are probably millions of guides available on the net right now. One of the coolest has to be the Arduino.

For those who like their guides more old-school, Lady Ada has put together what is probably the ultimate beginners guide to electronics.
