[chbot] Cheap Arduino Stuff

[Pieter Britz]

I bought a forrduin Mega 2560 board for US$13.89 (shipping included) from
AliExpress.com
also bought:
1x HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Module Range Detection Sensor for US$1.79
2x NRF24L01+ Wireless Transceiver Module 2.4GHz For AVR ARM Arduino MCU for
US$6.50
1x L298N Stepper Motor Driver Controller Board for Arduino 2560 ARM STM32
AVR A063 for US$7.99
waiting for
1x USBASP USB ISP AVR Programmer for US$9.89
1x OV7670 Camera Board CMOS VGA 640X480 CameraChip Image Sensor Development
Module for US$16.29

Lots of fun stuff. I think AliExpress is sometimes a bit cheaper than
DealExtream.
Just need to hunt for the best price.

Cheers,
Pieter
