And if you want to build one out you can get to the next arduino cult induction on the 27th of this month.

Here is a small example of using the arduino/wiring platform to control things in the real world.
A pretty good reference for the controlling stepper motors can be found at.

The following Circuit fleshes out the sketch at the site above.

In the course of the Arduino Cult Induction series and the group purchases, I have evolved several versions of the DorkbotPDX programmer and released them into the wild. Unfortunately the pinouts for the programming cable have evolved with the programmers so the cables are unique to each. With the batch of programmers we just purchased this will settle down Though the pinout may not make sense in this particular case it will be the same for at least 1000 boards.
In the mean time here is a quick guide to cables for the existing boards.

I am old. I won't say how old exactly but I am half way through a few experiments.
Three of these experiments will be funded as Tempus Dictum Products.

First of all I was really happy that so many people showed up and got as far into their construction as they did.
27 people and only one dead board.
I now know that getting all of that done in under 3 hours was a little ambitious. (The pacing was initially based on the photo session at http://www.flickr.com/photos/7175086@N05/sets/72157604783725339/ which took 20 minutes from start to finish)
For those of you who were unable to finish the cable Jacob Hedwig has provided a clear picture of a working cable at
