Scratch for Arduino tutorials

Some more Arduino tutorials, these use the excellent Scratch for Arduino (http://s4a.cat/). The following links are to PDFs:

First off we get a single LED to flash on / off:

Simple Arduino memory game

Here is a tutorial for a very simple memory game that flashes a sequence of LEDs. You respond via the serial console with a list of  'r' or 'g' characters to indicate the sequence. The tutorial also shows you how to respond via a console application. There are more sophisticated arduino memory games on the web but I tried to keep this one as easy as possible as it was used in our coder dojo session.
