[chbot] Arduino for $3! & link for 2.2 inch touch screen

[Stuart Brown]

Guys

Here are links to the Arduino boards and the little 2.2 inch colour TFT 
touch screen I had at the meeting tonight:

  * Arduino Nano (no headers) -

  * Arduino Nano (with headers and USB cable) -

  * Arduino Pro mini -

The Pro mini sells for $3 (US)!

The site has a limited range, but it is growing. I have found shipping 
to be better than dx, but still China style. Orders often get split up 
because items are not in stock and sometimes can take 2 weeks. But at 
these prices I'm not complaining.

I'd be interested in details for alternative development environments 
you are using, and any good libraries you have come across.

Mark, I'm also keen to get details of the FrSky telemetry library you 
have been using. Which one did you start with and is your modified code 
available anywhere? Are you using this on sensor side to send sensor 
data back to the Taranis or on the Taranis? How did you connect it up?

Thanks

Stuart
