The Arduino Compatible kits arrived from the Modern Device Company today. I could not wait to build one up and try it out. I am impressed with the quality of this kit and the assembly instructions. This kit is a great deal for $15. You can buy a student package which contains 15 kits and some spare parts for $150 which works out to $10 each if you have a crowd to supply.
If you are interested in learning to use microcontrollers or want a quick prototyping tool, I highly recommend the Modern Devices Arduino Compatible Bare Bones Board. The Arduino is an excellent platform for beginners and this kit could not be easier to put together.
Get a kit for (almost) free from uCHobby.
Several of the kits are spoken for already but you still have time to get one of these kits in exchange for a short article or you could get the PCB or a programmed Arduino chip for a link to uC Hobby. Read more here.

Cool, I hadn’t seen those before. I have a couple of projects in the works that need small controller and i didn’t want to mess with building a board. At $15, you’re right, these are a steal. I just ordered 4.

I also bought a 10-pack of these and I must say that it’s a fantastic value. In the 10-pack, they are only $10 each, which is cheap enough for my cheap-butt to embed them in projects without fretting the cost
It assembled easily and worked the first time. Can’t ask for anything else. I highly recommend these kits.

Mike, glad to see there’s an expert around in case i get into trouble.
Only bummer is that the guy is on vacation so they won’t ship until after the 8th, so I’ll just have to be patient.

Got my kit today! Was soldered together in less than a half an hour, and the board is so intuitive, I never had to look at a schematic! Now I just have to learn to program it, hehe.
Thanks uCHobby!
