I had a few bucks in spare change lying around (literally) so decided to get myself a MSP430 LaunchPad. Its a microcontroller by TI (Texas Instruments) that is suppose to be the cheapest one on the market. It was only $4.30, affordable for someone who is broke but likes hardware like this (like me lol).
Here is a little video about it.
