How Do I .... Get Started with Arduino

Posted by carl on Thu 17 September 2015

The class last week went very well but attendance was a little less than expected. Everyone got a great intro to Arduino programming and simple circuits. There were no slides but we used these websites during the class:

https://www.arduino.cc/

https://store.arduino.cc/

These are the official Arduino sites for downloading the IDE and buying parts that support the Arduino creators. You can buy Arduino products at other sites for a little less or you can buy arduino knock offs for a lot cheaper but the arduino.cc site supports the people creating the platform. Other sites I like to use are

https://www.sparkfun.com/

https://www.sparkfun.com/

https://processing.org/

The Arduino IDE contains lots of examples for using the Arduino boards and if needed they include the Processing code to run on the host system.
