Jeremy Blum Arduino Tutorials

element14Dave

Arduino is an open source electronics hardware and software designed for hobbyists, Makers, tinkerers and professionals to build projects from the simple "blinking LED" to a laser tripwire doorbell. Join Ardunio expert, Jeremy Blum as he presents this 15-part series on Arduino from element14 Community!

    All of the dev boards and the chips on them at this level are highly portable, there almost all programmed in C or wiring (Which is C with some abstraction for the actual underlying hardware) and have many common attributes with ADC, DAC (PWM really), I/O, interrupts, small, low BOM, all running around 16-20Mhz etc

     

    It could be a PIC, an MSP430 or an ATMEL ATMEGAxxx, they all have their place and its more about which one you like more or if there is that one special thing on one chip not on the others you need. Outside of that I would suggest you try them all and make your mind up which you like more (Which may be more influenced by the IDE than the chip itself)

     

    Oh and they all have excellent community support so no matter the choice, there will be help available if and when you need it

  • Oliver,

              I agree with Andrew the Arduino is an excellent platform to learn on.  I use both PIC and Arduino in all its guises, Mega, Nano, Pro Micro etc.  The Arduino family is much cheaper to build projects with especially if you use clones.  There is virtually nothing a PIC can do that one of the Arduino family cannot do also.  If you want to move on to a better IDE then there is Atmel Studio and the amazing Visual micro add in.  Portability is only a function of designing something to run on minimal battery power.  There is also a huge amount of information on the internet on Arduino.

    Ardino is just as portable.  Right now I'm making a prototype using a Nano on a breadboard, but that will be turned into a ATmega328 chip on perf board (battery powered).  Of course I'm not saying the ATmega is better than a PIC, it comes down to the project requirements & your familiarity with the chips.

  • wonderful tutorials. It really spurred my interest in arduino. I do have a question. what  limitations does arduino have in terms of portability. i am about to design a project that needs to be very portable and I am wondering if I should use arduino board or a PIC microcontroller, since PIC will give me the opportunity to design most things, thus making it flexible. i need advice please.

  • Watch one, then try stopping!

     

    I learnt so much from these tutorials and always enjoy going back to see them.
