You need a little bit of hardware to get started. In particular, you need:

	A power supply
	An APP-III kit (shown above)
	A solderless breadboard (the APP-III can plug into a breadboard)
	A serial cable to connect the APP-III to your PC

In addition, any electronics project requires some basic tools and equipment. I'm assuming you already have these (soldering iron, pliers, wire cutters, a multimeter). A scope is great if you have one, but not strictly necessary for experimentation.

You can get miscellaneous parts (like LEDs, switches, and similar parts) from Radio Shack.

You'll also need the software for the APP-III which you can download on the APP-III resource page.
