Wow, cheap. How much do all the sensors and bits and pieces cost. I guess adding lots of things to it could bump the price up quite a bit. But for that price I might get one (some) anyway.

Looks like that needs soldering. Have to get an iron too.

There's some pre-soldered ones too. Just search on ebay for "arduino nano" sort by price and keep scrolling until you find one.

If you get one with USB built in you don't need a USB/serial adapter to flash it.

Totally depends on what sensors but loads are 99p (from China).

I recommend buying some small cheap breadboards and jumper cables.

CPC are good for cheap leds, resistors, transistors etc.

I might have to look into some of that then.

I had a kit for my birthday that needs soldering so I'll have to get myself an iron anyway. Not sure whether to get a cheap one or spend a bit more on a temperature controlled iron.

Get an iron with good reviews. A bad iron will make you think you can't solder and put you off doing anything else.

They don't want you to make a bank deposit to show good faith, by any chance?

I honestly have no idea what I'll do with it if it does turn up!

On the downside, I can't remember what address I put down: if it's to my flat, that'll probably (hopefully) be sold by the time it arrives :(

:((

It still says this as the latest tracking update:
 
17:21 In transit   INDIANAPOLIS, IN

If I had it already I'd set it up to check the tracking status and automatically post to this thread if/when it changed.
