Hi guys.
I've just joined the world of Arduino and finished my first project - a cricket that chirps when the ambient light levels fall. It was inspired by my first electronics project as a kid (from DSE).
Sure, it's nothing fancy yet, but I put the details on my blog (http://twistify.com/203/sneaky-chirping-cricket-with-arduino-uno).
My significant other doesn't share my excitement in playing around with programmable microcontrollers and pointless projects - so I thought I'd post my new enthusiasm here!
Cheers.
