If you want to follow along at home, an official Arduino Uno R3 is available HERE. In this new series of lessons, I will be using the sensor and other components found in this KIT.
In lesson 16, you were introduced to Arduino For Loops. In this lesson we show you more advanced techniques that can be used with For Loops. It is possible to do a wide array of different parameters with this command. We will demonstrate some of the interesting ways these commands can be used.
So far, we have been just using the Arduino Void Loop, which basically loops forever. In this lesson you will learn how to create For Loops, which will allow you to control the conditions of the Loop. This is a very powerful programming technique, and it will allow you to take your projects to more advanced levels. If you want to follow along at home, an official Arduino Uno R3 is available HERE. In this new series of lessons, I will be using the sensor and other components found in this KIT.
Guys, our original series on the Arduino Microcontroller was insanely popular. Those original lessons had some great technical content, but the production quality of the videos was pretty low. Because of that, I want to go in and redo the arduino tutorials, taking advantage of improved production capabilities I now have, and using fresh hardware and software. For those who have taken the original series, the first few lessons will be material you already have learned. You can choose to review the material, or just skip to the later lessons. An official Arduino Uno R3 is available HERE. In this new series of lessons, I will be using the sensor and other components found in this KIT.
So, enough of this small talk, lets get right into the new and improved lessons.
With the hardware linked to above, you will simply have to install the Arduino software. You can download the Arduino Software here. The installation is explained step-by-step in the above video, but it is pretty self explanatory.
The video takes you through the steps to make the on-board LED turn on, off, or blink. This will be your first few example programs, and hopefully you will see that programming is not that difficult. When you are done with this lesson, you will have written your first few programs. Enjoy!
