Arduino, etc.

[Zbigniew Koziol]

"Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on 
flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software."

Thats from http://www.arduino.cc/

Arduino and its derivatives are available also in Russia. Another slent 
here is *???????? <http://marsohod.org/index.php/howtostart/plata> (Mars 
Orbiter, or something like that).

These are indeed nice toys and could even be used in industry.

Does anyone around has an experience with tools like these? Where 
electronics can be joined with programming.

Of course, I am interested in such ones that could be used on Linux.

The primarily reason I am interested in is to use these to teach medium 
school kinds of electronics and programming. However, I would enjoy 
myself as well to play with them.

I would possibly want to prepare a some sort of comparison chart between 
these tools. Hence, any opinions, recommendations, etc, please.
