Paul's Electronics

Oh man - more of the Arduino gear I ordered has arrived but I'm up to my ears in real work so can't play with this stuff yet. Here's a photo of what came (click for larger image):

In the box today:

• An Arduino Mega + MegaShield kit
• Another Arduino USB board + ProtoShield kit
• 640x480 CMOS camera module + breakout board
• Laptop decoration stickers :-)

Looking forward to playing with the camera. My dissertation at college was Rasterizing Scanned Maps - automatically picking out contour lines from digitized topology maps to feed into a flight-simulator, so we could fly around anywhere in the world. I got quite a lot of the way there, but I think it's really applicable to automatic object recognition and navigation for robotics. I've got a Johnny-5 kit from LynxMotion I'm going to hook this up to - should be fun!

Back to work...
