DeanBalloonatic over 2 years ago

Hello, 1st day here. My name is Dean. 

 I'm a hobbyist Interested in Costume Design/Fabrication. I have a 3D Printer I haven't used yet. I also have a few Ardino Uno boards I like to learn how to program for servo animatronics.

  I'm also a Balloon Twister Artist, hence my Screen name of DeanBalloonatic.

    Welcome Dean.  Your interest in costume design and related areas could come in handy during Halloween.  Love the profile pic by the way.

    Welcome. What is your technology background?

    Someone with programming experience vs someone with no knowledge would take a different entry point for an arduino.

    I've Forgotten any computer Languages I've Known, like Basic and HTML. LOL, But at least I've known it, and could quickly learn with a refresher. 

    Basic understanding of Electronics without any schooling on that.

    Your initial learnings are a foundation. I'm going to venture to guess that your career choice involves problem solving.

    There are numerous examples of solutions using Arduino's. Think of a problem/project you would like to tackle. Describe you vision. More detail the better. You will be surprised at the resource offerings this site will make.

    I caution you on posting, I want to do this, with little detail. Invest in the E14 Community and they will in turn invest in you with a response.

    Welcome Dean. Costume design and fabrication. Interesting!

    There's a lot of great information regarding arduino, raspberry pi, programming and 3d printing here... as well as a great number of experienced folks that can offer assistance. .
