Hello all;
I am just getting started into really building my own stuff and I want to start with the basics, I have ordered my first breadboard and also getting a MB-102 830 Point Prototype PCB with it. I really want to get an arduino, it seems to be easier to program. Now let me give you a bit of background on me. I started programming some chat room code(so long ago I forgot the name basic Java I think), and moved into HTML and CSS then I went to school for car audio,alarm and video. So I have been around low voltage for a few years haha. Ok so here are my questions.
WHere would a good good place be to learn the different parts such as resistors, caps, etc I know a few but I want to learn more.
What do I need to program this board "MB-102 830"
second i mainly deal with LEDs so I would like to get a desktop power supply with variable voltage, where do I get this and what is good?
I mainly want to use the arduino to get started, what program do I need for it?
I build model cars, and use the LEDs in them, working on getting a lcd in one of my larger builds.
Anything ing else that would help. TIA
