This is an Incredible tutorial!
I'm working on my end of year project, and honestly learned more from watching this one video, than I had from several months of learning about it in college. I had been struggling for over 2 hours, just to make 6 LEDs that can be turned on and off with certain conditions in place, but couldn't even get 1 LED on the breadboard to turn on!
After watching this, within 10 minutes of tinkering, I got it working.

Such a great video! My just-turned-seven year-old just made his first Arduino circuit with your help. Thank you!

Not having the components symmetrically ordered kills me a little :))

[braylenhammond]

I am getting an arduino kit soon, I will use these videos to help me!

[stopitwithusernames]

Thanks for your videos and your straight forward explaining style. For a first timer working with the board, I feel like I'm not making good connections. Is it possible to push too hard, and damage the metal strips underneath?

Which textbook where you referencing from?

[traceygilheaney]

this is really cool I am going to try it out myself!

Mine lights up, but doesn't want to do anything when I press the button. :(

Pues no estaría de más un dibujo con la posición de los elementos porque yo no veo bien dónde van las patillas de la luz. La cosa es que no me funciona el invento :-(

I used a 9v battery as input. Same circuit same 220ohm resistor but when I push the switch the LED not turn on. Removing the switch and close the circuit with a jumper, the LED turns on. Do I have a non functioning switch or what could be the problem? I tried more than one switch from the kit.

PS - you should have made close up shots too.

[Rip_TheRealJensenRV]

Did not work
tried it but it did not turn on the LED

[gadlumerman]

Where can I buy a book Arduino for beginners?

[revonfonseka]

I have no idea to fix the problem out since Everything is quite messed up right now

[tonywheelz]

Why aren’t the jumpers included in the beginner pack????

[edwardreichard]

What is the name and model of this kit? Do I can buy it

[creatorx]

can you send about electronics & robotic details

[kuyalecpogi]

i think atleast closing up the camera a lil bit is way more useful.

Hello! I am an Arduino User and I am Working on a project in which I want to control a Arduino UNO and MEGA using single HC-05 Bluetooth

not my first circuit whit uno barduino
