Are you looking for the perfect series of videos to get started with Arduino? Well, you are in luck, because in this series of videos, you are going to learn everything you need to get started with Arduino. By the time you're done here, you're gonna know exactly what hardware to get and why, you'll know the ins and outs of an Arduino board, you'll know which software to get, you'll know the key Arduino programming functions to control tons of electronic stuff. And if you've never programmed before, you're gonna know the coding structures found in all programming languages. But do you wanna know the best part? This core workshop that you're gonna walk through is only gonna take about an hour of your time. So let's go. Before we start, please do subscribe to our YouTube channel. It doesn't cost you anything but a click, but it really helps us bring you great content like this Arduino workshop. Thanks a ton. I really appreciate that. Okay. So what the heck is this thing called Arduino? Well, Arduino is a tool that helps you control electronic stuff with code. So if you're building a house, you'd probably go grab a hammer. Well, if you're gonna build a project using electronic stuff, grab yourself an Arduino. But what do I mean exactly by electronic stuff? Well, let's make two big general groups. Inputs and outputs. Inputs are devices that gather information, and outputs are devices that have some action in the world. So for inputs, think of things, like temperature sensors, light sensors, touch sensors, flex sensors, humidity sensors, infrared sensor, distance sensors. Just to name a few. Then you have things like outputs. DC motors, stepper motors, servo motors, LEDs, LED strips, buzzers, speakers, LCD displays, OLED displays. The list goes on. What Arduino can do is stand in the middle of these input and output devices and control them with some cool logic that you get to create. So Arduino can be used to read inputs and control outputs. Okay. So now you have a general idea of what Arduino is. It's a tool to control electronic stuff. Great! Okay. But how do you actually get started using Arduino? What do you have to do? So here's what you're gonna need. We're gonna talk about the big three. It's what I like to call the Arduino trifecta. You've got Arduino hardware, the Arduino IDE, and the actual Arduino code that you're gonna need to write. So first, we have the physical component of Arduino, which is called an Arduino board. There's a bunch of different types of Arduino boards out there. When someone says Arduino board, it could mean a number of these different circuit boards. In just a little bit, I'm gonna tell you exactly which one to go by if you haven't purchased one yet. And here's some quick good news. If you have bought one already, it's probably gonna work just fine. Now, all Arduino boards share one thing in common. They have a microcontroller on them. A microcontroller is basically a really small computer. So when you use an Arduino, you're really just using a microcontroller. The microcontroller is what enables us to read those different inputs and control those outputs. So again, when somebody says Arduino board, they're talking about something physical...

I'm 77 years old. I'm OK with analog hardware but software is a challenge. Your video was fast paced but after viewing it a few times I learned a lot. Really excellent!

[alswafford]

Very helpful. I'm 74 and looking for something to do. I have some projects in mind. So thanks for the help!

[grigorjakovleski]

I'm 107 years old and have been looking for something to mess around with. This video has been a huge help thank you so much!

[ChickentNug]

3 minutes in and I'm already learning stuff I've been wanting to learn for years. I honestly thought I was going to have to take a computer engineering course in college to figure this all out.
Thank you so much for this.

I began learning Arduino watching Paul McWhorter's tutorials last Winter, then Summer came, we moved, and other things happened, so I ignored Arduino for 8 months. This video is the perfect tool for getting back into my comfort zone working with Arduino. I'm 71, and really have no plans for using Arduino for anything other than keeping my mind from becoming lazy in my old age. I spent my adult life in various mechatronics jobs from installing car radios to heading an electronics service and training department. I got so bored after retiring, I had to find something technical to keep myself feeling alive.

[alejandradz]

First video that doesn't assume anything, I appreciate the time he takes to explain even the most evident in case some of us don't know. This video is GREAT! Just as someone mentioned earlier, I thought I had to enroll in college classes to find this information. I'm interested in animatronics and thanks to this video I'm not giving up. THANK YOU!

[myrlyn]

I learned the BASIC programming language in the 80's, and studied electronics in the 90's. Then I went into construction and forgot most of it, but now that I'm retired, I'm getting back into it. This was a good refresher. Thank you for your great help and humor! And don't worry about the children, you can always have more...😅

[flycow]

Wow. I couldn't believe that I had the patience of watching the whole 85 minutes of your class and I am very new to this subject. Thanks for making the complex subject so easy to understand.

[infectedswarm]

This is the type of Arduino tutorial I was looking for. I saw a ton of Arduino tutorials on the youtube but none of them matched the quality of your video. Much appreciated sir.

[gregbowen]

This is so far the best presentation I have seen to understand Arduinos. I'm 63 and not a programmer ( other than High School level Fortran and Cobol in the late 70's!). You have given me the inspiration to learn how to program my Arduino to use on my model railroad...many thanks.

[RGormanJr]

I’m 12 minutes in and feel compelled to note what a great teacher you are. Engaging. Informative. Not too fast. Not too slow. Thank you for this.

[neverknowit]

I worked in a digital instrument manufacturing company. We needed a tool to help us with many facets programming and sensors. I was an Electronics hobbyist this was my idea.
We had an Italian company we worked with. Two weeks after I gave my idea Arduino appeared in our Electronics world. Essentially, I may not be the creator of this tool but I was very happy to see it evolve. Arduino is very versatile. You can also design your own board to interact with the main controller.

[VINCENT-sbzs]

I recently purchased arduino, with zero ideas on how to use them. I found your video, and it explained every basics that I need to know to take a great start. Thank you so much!

[ChocFlip]

I’m just getting into all this stuff and this was THE SINGLE MOST HELPFUL video I’ve ever watched for arduinos. Fantastic work for teaching us in layman terms.

[SingTodayi]

Just came from a russian arduino course where i unsterstood ZERO information. Here i understood everything literally in 90 minutes. Many thanks man! Great course! I shall recommend it to my friends.

[vasquezeli]

This is perfect, got my senior project to wrap up my bachelors degree. This video will be fundamental for my success !

[goldenentertainment]

This really helped me a lot, I am studying engineering Information Science, but I have a keen interest in Arduino-related concepts. This workshop is literally amazing thank you so much for this.

[georgeh]

Excellent!! I studied Electronics and Processor programming using the Intel Z80 Processor back in the 80's and a little while later 'Visual Basic' programming but subsequently my career path took me into a different genre of Engineering. Now that I am retired I have just purchased an Arduino starter pack for a Winter hobby project, I stumbled across this video, and long forgotten terms and proceedures has come flooding back. I would recommend any newbie to watch this video since your delivery and coverage is excellent, just like a good College Lecturer should do. Many thanks and well done Sir.

[iTsCookieKing]

This is absolutely amazing 🤩
I can only imagine how much time you spend editing this. Truly fantastic!

[UchihaItachi-xjcz]

THANK YOU!!!!
You saved my academic life seriously.
All the other classmates took expensive courses and money is not available right now, and my school is project based so next semester we'll have tons of project related to Arduino. You literally saved my grades with this free workshop.
Keep it up, I wish you the best.
