New to Arduino! Got recommends?

I'm a newbie. And now i am intersted in it. Can you guys recommend sth that's suitable for starters? But not so expensive cos I am a student, not having much allowance. Any help would be appreciated.

textspeak for "something", maybe?

As the others have said, it might be helpful to know what you want.

Since this is the display forum, I would suggest staying away from the DFRobot LCD shield. Evidently you can't use pin 10 to control the backlight because the board is mis-designed. Second, for the digital pins there is no labelling of the pins in the shield, and since 4-10 are taken by the shield, you have to read the manual to know that the first 4 pins are pin 0, 1, 2, and 3, and then the next pin is 11. This isn't printed on the silkscreen of the board. It also uses most/all of the PWM pins.

Do these 'textspeakers' comprehend how many forum participants cannot help them because (1) they are more than 14 years old and/or (2) English is not their native language?
