Thanks for this, every time I try to get a project started with hardware I'm usually looking at $80, which is a big reason why I just stick to software. Since alot of things you can imagine in software can be built cheaply, initially.

FWIW, that ~$80 worth of "stuff" is pretty much reuseable. Most of my ideas end up being not-as-useful-as-I-expected, so ratting the previous project for its now-unused Arduino/RaspberryPi/ZigBee/breadboard/orbital-death-ray is a really common way to start _new_ ideas/project for insignificant amounts of money... (Also, as much as I like to support Arduino/RasPiFoundation/3DRobotics/whoever-pioneered-thing-de-jour, all those bits are available much less expensively ex China fro DealExtreme/GoodLuckBuy/AliExpress/GearBest et al.)
