ZIF Socket - 40 Pin universal DIP IC Arduino By 3M
WTF has a ZIF socket ad got to do with Arduino? Has it got to the point were every piece of electronics development hardware is "Arduino compatible"? How about resistors, they are Arduino compatible, and capacitors, AND gates, the 4067 MUX, heck so are electrons for that matter.
And for beginners, I've got a great deal on some Arduino-compatible solder (PM me for a low price).
Can anybody explain a valid reason for the word "Arduino" being in the heading? Or is it just an attempt to pop up in a Google/eBay search for Arduino stuff?
Graynomad:

Ding. Ding. Ding. That's the one!
Confused and/or mildly pissed off
Speaking of pissed off... A good chunk of the forum spam has the same purpose: raise the Google rank. As spam eventually takes over the internet, everything in the Universe will have a Google rank of one. I guess they will have to go with a wide horizontal scroll so everything will be "listed" at the #1 spot.
You clever bunch you.
I guess a bit every now and then would be great, as long as she doesn't byte during setup() or we'll be having a words in the main loop()
So many people running down the Arduino platform. Why are you guys even on the forum? This platform, and this forum, should be a place to share ideas, and not a place to strut your differences.
Arduino, yes, is a carrier for a microcontroller, but what better way to introduce them than a platform that's easy to use, and easy to duplicate! Remember, it's ALL open source.
I have no qualms with an advertisement stating a ZIF socket is Arduino compatible. That just means it has 28 pins, and is in thin line package (to match pins on the uno socket).
So the programming language is a ripoff from C++? So what!
We all need to be a bit humbled and take Arduino for what it is. A platform for learning. There's always room for learning, and I think those blokes in Italy did a DAMN good job of supplying a medium to promote that.
