[dorkbotphiladelphia-blabber] Fwd: newcomer says hi and asks arduino question

[Chris Vecchio]

By the way, the Phillydork chapter is not very active
but the guys over at Make Philly have been holding
well-attended regular monthly meetings and accomplishing
many of the same things.

I suggest you sign up for their mailing list as well:

  Hi,

  I am a newcomer to Philly, and just wanted to say hi to the dorkbots
group.
  I hail from NYC dorkbots and happy to be here!

  On that note, I am new also to the Arduino board and have just bought
one to
  work on a project. I will be sending data from the computer through the
  Arduino to control some motors and wondered if anyone had experience
with
  it? I am following the online tutorials... and hoping for the best. Any
  advice is good at this point.

  Oh, and I am running two motors from the Arduino which require a larger
  power source than the Arduino can provide. I was going to use an
h-bridge
  for one motor, but it may not work. Can anyone link me to a possible
  solution that I can do quickly (by that I mean... not have to go buy a
motor
  controller)

  thanks so much!

  Alison
