Arduino Duemilanove ATmega328

The first step to the Arduino world ! The Arduino open-source microcontroller platform can be programmed and equipped to perform a nearly endless list of functions. It's likely the best all-around centerpiece to a modern electronics project. But one of the tasks Arduino is best used for is straight-up fun - the open design means there's an Arduino board suitable for almost any project, and a wealth of add-on "shields" extends its abilities with ease. The Arduino Duemilanove ("2009") is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. USB cable for connecting PC is included. "Duemilanove" means 2009 in Italian and is named after the year of its release. The Duemilanove is the latest in a series of USB Arduino boards.

Asuro Robot for beginner of Electronics, Mechanics and Programming

Entrance kit to learn the mechanics, electronics and programming of robotics
	The flexibility of the Asuro makes it a rolling cart of education. The cart of education may be used as your platform for teaching mechanic, electronic and programming in class curriculum. The robot may be programmed to follow a line, solve a maze, follow moving object , or compete with other Asuros in games.
	ASURO is a freely C-programmable moving robot, developed at the Institute for Robotics and Mechatronics in the German Aerospace Centre (DLR2). Electronic experts consider the assembly phase as an easy training course for beginners. Apart from the printed circuit board, the robot kit contains only standard parts that can easily be manipulated. Freeware software is used in the programming phase. Therefore, ASURO will prove to be an excellent tool for the hobbyist starting a new experience in processor-controlled systems, for high school classes and students, educational courses, or adult education centers, completely developed by using freeware in a non-commercial organization, ASURO also demonstrates success in designing a low-cost, working robot.
	Features: -This is an educational robot kit based on a RISC processor. -Two independently controllable motors -An optical sensor for line tracking -Six collision sensors (switches) -Three optical indicators -An infrared transmitter system for programming and remote control by a PC via RS232 interface -A detailed instruction manual describes the assembly process and the installation of the software as well as step-by-step instructions on programming the ASURO using numerous examples. -Our Asuro come s with a self-test program loaded in the chip so you can tell if you assembled the Asuro correctly. This self-test and a few other programs come with the CD-rom . -Programming is carried out in C, where predefined functions can be accessed to actuate the two motors, the sensors and displays -Arduino users should be able to program this robot easily as earlier Arduinos used this processor.
	-There are add-on modules available such as ultrasound range detector, temperature detector and LCD display -An optional infrared transmitter with USB interface is available.
