it probably would work for something right away to get an idea about some of the arduino stuff
i thought of starting with some simple led manipulations, in combination with potentiometers, buttons, transistors etci really don't know how you could make a voltage regulator, do you have some schematics of it?
Make sure to not destroy your LEDs with too high voltage. Also I know you have transistors to regulate the voltage, but last time I messed with them with my friend in electronics it was rather complicated and a PITA.

Also I know you have transistors to regulate the voltage, but last time I messed with them with my friend in electronics it was rather complicated and a PITA.When I didn't know anything much about electronics, I hooked an LED up to one of those huge lantern batteries...it was supposed to be white, but it was orange, then brown, then really really bright, then poof. It started smoking and smelling really bad.
Use lightbulbs instead if you want to be completely safe (or tie a 1k resistor to the led)
TRISD = 0b01111111;LATDbits.LATD7 = 1;
yay, i got my breadboard, some leds, condensators, resistor and diodes, they didn't have any transistors Ö so now i con't yet make something useful, just some leds in parallel and serie lol
