Overview

Are you interested in Arduino and electronics, but aren't sure how to get started? Beginning with no assumed knowledge, we will cover the basic set up for the Arduino and the Arduino IDE, as well as a few components and how to use them. This video will equip you with enough base knowledge to empower you to start exploring on your own.

The goal of this video is for those with no electronics knowledge or experience to have a fun introduction to Ardunio and see the magic in getting that first LED blinking. This video avoids getting bogged down in technical terms and is perfect for those who don't want to decipher intense documentation to jump start their electronics journey.

What You Will Learn
  • Gain the core concepts of microcontrollers and Arduinos
  • Set up your user environment space
  • Work with code basics such as important commands, running your first program, and understanding sample code
  • Use a breadboard, Arduino pins, LEDs, servos, and buttons 
  • Apply what you've learned to future projects

Who This Video Is For
Assuming no prior knowledge, this video is aimed at anyone interested in Arduino and electronics, but isn't sure how to get started.
