Parts arrive from YourDino

Finally i have some stuff to work with .... Yes the parts I ordered from YourDino have arrived. Main parts are a arduino mega 1280 board ... motor controller board ... servo ... stepper motor and stepper motor board ... plus i got a electrical kit with various componments including a small breadboard.

So i can start learning a bit about micro controllers and programming ...  have connected and tried out the servo  the stepper-motor and board and the motor board with motors connected. All went well without too much trouble. Did require help figuring out how to wire up the motor board to the arduino board .... thankfully being a part of the Lets Make Robots site meant i got help quickly and got sorted. 
Will probably do a write up on connecting the motor board to the arduino board as a reference for others who might have problems doing this.
Also managed to figure out out too write the code to control the motors ... so was very happy with this as im new to writing code too .....
