-Best way for the physical connection of LEDs to cables (without soldering)?

6. Find a picture of your Arduino  publish it in your blog and label the main parts. You may need a special graphics program to do this. Add another interesting Arduino variation. You can see some on this page.

Chose this board due to the large number of pins. Would be useful for home automation(possibly) or large arrays of n x n x n LED arrays if not using some sort of serial communication to it.


7. Put the url for your blog into the wiki in Moodle. Add some other contact details. If you wish your cell phone number to remain private that's OK too.
-Done
