Getting some money back from college, I'm planning on buying a Arduino.

Can't wait!

There are just so many possibilities because it's open source programing and attachments.

ya, we used basic stamp modules in my electronics classes and made boe bots and sumo bots. it was pretty cool.

Yeah I can't wait. I have always wanted to learn about micro controllers.
Reading about them and not being able to use it or play with it has been killing me.

I am going to start with the "Get LED to blink". Haha..
But I was thinking of maybe doing something like a "3D" LED cube.

Like that just I will probably start with something much smaller.

I'm thinking maybe if I can get sound hooked into this thing I might be able to have it turn on certain lights depending on the dB and Hz.

Not sure what exactly it is based on. But this is the software that you can download to work with an arduino board.

The open-source Arduino environment makes it easy to write code and upload it to the i/o board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The environment is written in Java and based on Processing, avr-gcc, and other open source software...Link
