A whole lot of Arduino and Robotics links!

Getting ready to teach an Arduino class, so have a lot of links prepping for that.  Instead of giving the impression that this blog has forgotten about flying, I'm posting a bunch of miscellania here.

Timer Stuff

• timer1 library. This library is a collection of routines for configuring the 16 bit hardware timer called Timer1 on the ATmega168/328. There are 3 hardware timers available on the chip, and they can be configured in a variety of ways to achieve different functionality.
• SO query with a couple of answers.
