I was looking through some boxes of junk at home and I stumbled across some old resistors, leds, infrared leds, and a cpu fan.

I wanted to see if I could connect any/all of them to my netduino and control them using the button, but realised I don't know where to begin.

Can anyone offer some pointers? or even a schematic of the netduino to get me started.

Thanks in advance.

Also, it might be worth creating a bunch of reference posts for the novices like myself to refer back to when we get stuck? They've done something similar at The Swamp .NET forum - which is a place for AutoCAD customisation help/advice that I'm also a member of.

I'm pretty new at this, but am wondering whether this board could be used to run the Mendel REPRAP machine? I mean, would it simply be a case of recompiling the Java code they provide, or would it need to be re-written from scratch?
