Ardunio's are the new X

Today I ordered an Arduino. The ThinkHaus is offering a introductory course in programing and use so I figured I might as well jump in and give it a go. I've been looking at these micro controllers for a while now and have seen a number of people using them as the main interface for their CNC machines and 3D printers.
They are pretty cheap too, under $30 for the unit.

Looking around online and there are lots of resources and a growing community of users. Lots of add on boards called shields and plenty of open sourced schematics and programs.

I'm looking forward to it arriving so I can start tinkering away. ETA the 21st.
