It's the end of week 1, and after having a bit of time to bounce back from some holdbacks I've had all week, I've at least been able to research a bit more about my project and figure out what products I need to get to start it off.
I've gone to RadioShack to pick up an Arduino board, and a shield for it. I decided on the Arduino Uno Rev 3 model board for my base. This board is simple, and has no more than I need. I've also noticed that it has the largest consumer base, and so I know I can get more help for this board than any other online. I also grabbed the Ethernet Shield for this board. This will allow the Arduino board to communicate over the internet. I'm going to need this if I'm going to be pinging my GMail account! Other than these boards, I've also picked up some different LED's that I feel like I may need for testing.
I think I've got everything I need to get the ball rolling with this project, and over the course of this next week I can learn how to set up a local server which I can use!
