[Lab] another thought about learning arduino: budget

[Aurelius R]

Well, for the serial protocol part of the workshop, even if you didn't have
an Arduino of your own you could still learn a lot by watching. However in
an intermediate serial class you'd definitely want not only an Arduino but
also a sensor or other serial gadget to talk to.

All of this stuff is available locally, and Newark does next-day shipping
for $8, so it shouldn't be a huge problem if people have enough notice.
