Types of Arduino

There are a couple of different Arduinos.

Firstly, there is the Arduino Diecimila, the same Arduino I purchased.

An Arduino with Bluetooth connection is also available.

Lilypad Arduinos are available in different types. They are usually more fragile than normal Arduinos.

There are Lilypad Accelerometer, Lilypad Buzzer, Lilypad Buzzer, Lilypad Light Sensor and Lilypad Vibe Board. All Lilypad Arduinos are designed to be very thin, so they are very little noticeable. They can even be attached to clothing.

Another Arduino is the Xbee, which allows to communicate wirelessly to the main Arduino board.

Finally there is also a mini version of the Arduino board available. (Arduino Mini) It can save place with our projects.

To work and experiment with the Arduino we are going to use various utilities such as LEDs, switches, resistors, cables, a breadboard, potentiometer and different sensors.
