I used to love buying those magazines that came with a PCB and instructions to build simple electronic things but components were hard to find and I eventually gave up.
Seeing a bunch of projects made with Arduino got me thinking it should be reasonably easy to buy this kind of stuff on the internet nowadays, maybe I should get back to the electronics hobby.
After a small search I found there are lots of kinds of Arduinos and lots of similar boards. I have absolutely no idea which one to get! They seem to be cheaper on Ebay than the official site as well.
Any tips? Can I just buy the cheapest one on Ebay? A tutorial on how to hook up motors, sensors and stuff would be nice. Programming won't be a problem, I got plenty of experience with that
