PROJECT 2: Monski Pong
»
1 Arduino module
An Arduino Uno or something based
on the Arduino Uno, but the project should work on
other Arduino and Arduino-compatible boards.

1 FTDI-style uSb-to-Serial adapter
Both the 5V
or 3.3V versions will work; these come as cables or
standalone modules.

FTDI USB-to-TTL cable. This cable comes in handy for connecting
to all sorts of serial devices. When plugged into a USB port, it can
even provide power for the device with which it's communicat-
ing. The adapter boards shown here also act as USB-to-Serial
adapters and can replace this cable. L to R: Arduino USB-to-Serial;
Spark Fun FTDI Basic Breakout; Adafruit FTDI Friend. They require
an additional USB-A-to-Mini-B cable (the kind that comes with
most digital cameras), but have built-in LEDs attached to the
transmit and receive lines. These LEDs flash when data's going
through those lines, and they can be handy for troubleshooting
serial problems.
The Arduino adapter, unlike the others, does not use the FTDI
drivers. On Mac OS X and Linux, it needs no drivers. On Windows,
it uses the same INF file as the Arduino Uno.
