If you are still getting set up, be sure to see the excellent help and troubleshooting material provided at the official Arduino site. This material assumes you have a working Arduino playing nicely with the big computer you're using to program the Arduino. Consider this page a bit like a restaurant menu, where you can browse and be tempted? I recommend using Google or your browser's "Find on this page" when you know what you are looking for. It has to be admitted that my placement of "stuff" in "the right section" is somewhat hit and miss. Topics which are more complex and/ or require more Arduino fluency are relegated to the higher levels. Pages in the first (lower level) sections should be easy to read and involve little effort or expertise. The "How To's" section of this page is divided into levels according to complexity. It also commends some good add-ons for your Arduino. Which can be fixed via wireless, using a tablet. A password or permissions thing in the way. ![]() It is a lot of work, a lot of "stuff" you (really) may not need. A Windows XP box on the same LAN, with Firefox, was helpful. All I needed, I think, was my trusty (old) Android, and "home" WiFi system. it comes with some awesome Internet of Things possibilities. (You can program in "Arduino", but not by the normal Arduino IDE. Not for the faint-hearted! But oh, so cool, if you like what it has. The mixed review: The Particle.io Photon: For $23, incl p&p, I fell to temptation. Now for what you came here for, if your interest wasn't so casual that you couldn't "take" that little burst of excitement. (And receive them.) And you can "drive" one with an Arduino! but running costs done very sensibly and not bad!) lets you (or your device) send short messages to a central server from ANYPLACE ON EARTH! Via satellite technology. Just the site name is reason enough? The RockBlock ($160 +tax, etc, sadly. The rave: I "need" (want!) one of these!! I refer to the "RockBlock" from. A bit like the serial monitor, but this draws graphs. But the Sparkfun unit makes getting started SO EASY.īrief rave: I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect it will be a lot of fun, and useful: If your Arduino IDE is version 1.6.7 or higher, have you noticed the new entry in "tools"? There's now a "serial plotter". no rocket science degree needed), at $15. I'm in love! An "Arduino" with built-in WiFi (that Just Works. Ordering details on the page the link above takes you to.īefore the main table of contents, few bits and pieces. You buy direct from OSH Park, I make nothing. What do you think of it, please? Minimum order is $8 (incl p&p worldwide). And there is a generous supply of pads for ancillary components, including many connected to Vcc and Gnd. You plug the Arduino into a socket, and all the pins become available to solder pads and, if you chose to install them, screw terminals. Here's a middle ground: A "breakout board", if you like, for Arduino Pro Mini. Page edited March 2017): Breadboards are great. ![]() including bits you'll use for other things if Arduino not a success. Or, if you're thinking "Arduino", but barely started, there's my basic bits you need to get started with Arduino. Whoa!: You'd not ready to "go" with Arduino? I've a page for you about the merits of Arduino, Pi and BBC:Microbit. kids are welcome to use the pages directly, if that's who you are, Gentle Reader!) And it gives users (any age!) a chance to develop and enjoy using whatever talent they have for CREATIVITY, problem-solving, doing something less passive (Of course. I hope that the help here, and the pages the "menu bar" at the top lead to, will encourage and enable parents teachers youth leaders to get their kids using Arduinos. and go straight to the main body of this page, the Table of Contents (links to material from one author) for my Arduino 'How To's site! ![]() prefatory remarks out of control!.įeel free to skip over them. And Projects Looking for write-ups of how to do specific things with an Arduino? Looking for information on things you might connect to your Arduino? You've come to the right place!
