NJA Logo

As you can see below we have now an official logo! Eugene's design has been chosen by a large majority of participants. You can see all designs on this thread. Eugene is working on some variations (scale and details).

Update on the ShrimpingIt workshop

Michael Margolis and I have been sourcing the cheapest components from various suppliers before ordering the kits for the ShrimpingIt/Arduino clone workshop. We are now collaborating with Cefn Hoile, the creator of ShrimpingIt, who's buying components in bulk to get a better price on the USB module, which should arrive mid or end of March. More info coming soon.

Interesting links

• Visit of the Arduino Factory
• Arduino Pinout diagrams

From the Arduino forum, Pighixxx has created several pinout diagrams for the Arduino UNO and others. These diagrams provide a clear picture about how to use each pin of the board and can be used as real “cheatsheets” for your own DIY projects.
