You're currently my favorite channel on YouTube. I wish you made more videos, but I realize it takes time to get quality. Keep up the good work!

That was a great introduction video doing terrific job at simplifying embedded coding and basic electronic.... Only one recommendation... In your montage, i would strongly suggest that you let the "IDE Screen" last longer as opposed to the shots showing you... It's not that you are ugly or anything... it's just that you should show what you are talking about using the IDE as a visual support.
Trust me on this one !

I got my Arduino Starter Kit for Christmas and already have my LED blinking, reacting to a button, and changing patterns. I can't wait to get home today and hook up the potentiameter and give this circuit a go. Thanks for expanding the types of projects you're doing. I love the variety and appreciate the education.

I love your videos on many levels but there are two things in particular that i very much appreciate:
1. You edit them. Your videos a packed with info, not a bunch of chatting to fill time as you go about the process. I have to keep my mouse on the pause button because of the density of the info, but i LOVE THAT.
2. You don't have some overy the top, 30 second, "look at how good i am with graphics", intro. THANK YOU for that!

Creating and declaring an integer in a loop - Ooooh my computer studies teacher would have torn your ear off!!! LOL :D

[adamschaaf]

Thanks for putting out this series. I just got an Arduino Uno for Christmas and have been having a lot of fun playing around with it.

[ccooper]

You can't possibly be old enough to have a breadboard that looks that old. Great video!

[BenBrandt]

Man, I need to get my arduino off the shelf and running some code again. Thanks for the video Bob.

[benpankow]

I just did this project with my son (11 yr) who's getting into programing. This was an awesome introduction. Thanks Bob for putting this together!

[codetwister]

Hi Bob,
I really enjoy your videos. I would like to add that because of the wiring of the LED High actually means the LED is off and Low that it's on, because the output pin actually sinks current, which is correct, an Arduino pin can sink more current than it can supply. Just like to point out: high and low are just the output pins voltage states, and what that means depends on the circuitry connected to it. Anyway, great content on your channel, keep up the good work.

My nine year old son has been showing me your videos.. He was excited to know that you posted this one this morning. Thank you!

[Levdbas]

Yaay! Awesome series. I work for quite some time now with these devices and you can create crazy stuff! connect it to the internet, post to a server or database, enable or disable bigger machines with a special shield, do some RFID work, create your own low-end security system. The possibilities are endless! Hit me up with any questions and I'll try to answer them!

[mereskimade]

Wow, talk about perfect timing. I just got a Raspberry Pi 2 for Christmas and this was a great primer to get me started. I'm sure not everybody wants programming talk but you made it so clear, and concise. I really hope you do more!

[DeaconWoodworks]

Thanks, Bob for the great series. This is definitely a new side of making that I would be interested in trying. I may be heading over to amazon to pick up a couple of things to give this a shot.

[davidalexa]

Bob you are my spirit animal. Thanks for all the inspiration

[pikachu-fetx]

I saw in one of the comments that you would be posting this sometime this week. You're right on time!
Great video. I probably could have found the same thing somewhere else, but instead I actually waited for this one.

[masterxchiefette]

I don't know anything about programming but I still liked the video because Bob consistently makes quality content and he deserved more views.

[MarkCopeland]

Good job explaning it Bob, it would be great to see you talk about other possible projects you could use an Arduino. Like your automatic blast gates, that was a really good idea.

[BarefootBeekeeper]

Why is the delayTimer variable defined inside the loop, rather than at the beginning, along with the other variables?

[TrikiDick]

Hey Bob, We're ready for another lesson. Cheers!
