Less than one minute read time.
The attached animated powerpoint slide set has been produced by Dr Peter MInns of Northumbria Network and would be useful for schools and colleges looking for an  easy-to-follow introduction to the Arduino microprocessor board.

It is aimed to be deliberately fast paced to fit in with the attention span of young people and could be used in a rolling slide show presentation.

It will also be of use to established engineers and technicians who are not specialists in interfacing microprocessors to the real world, but need to be able to harness the Arduino's processing power in their projects.
