arduino for beginners

Guys how you doing, I just want to start learning about how I can work with Arduino , where I can find a basic program to get started ?

Well in his defence, he was looking for tips... I guess the tutorials may help you learn some in the long term

This is my best tip for Beginners with Arduino. Try to start with the the Built-In examples they were written with beginners in mind..... if you are just starting with components... well many companies sell starter kitsstarter kits that bring the necessary components to try most many of the examples.

i would recommend you to follow lessons by Paul McWhorter from toptechboy.com

here is a playlist of the aurdino lessons by paul McWhorter

i hope you find it useful!

For anyone starting out, the Arduino is really easy to use but often the stumbling point is getting the initial setup going. This is the simple steps for anyone getting stuck early on...

• (1) Download and install the ArduinoIDEhttps://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software - following details for drivers/and your Operating System

• (2) Plug the Arduino into your USB port

• (3) Find which port it is attached to using Windows Device Manager or type ls /dev/tty* under Linux

• (4) Run the ArduinoIDE

• (5) In the IDE, select the board you have plugged in using TOOLS/BOARD

• (6) In the IDE select the port you identified in step (3)

• (7) As luislabmo mentions, the built in examples are great. Choose the most basic to start with from FILE/EXAMPLES/ 01.BASICS/BLINK

• (8) Click SKETCH/UPLOAD....this will take a few minutes and should start the LED flashing on your Arduino.

If that all works, congratulations as you have a working setup. Start to modify the C code to learn more (changing the time delay to make the LED blink faster or slower is always a good check ) or load in some of the other examples.

Sometimes the above may fail and would need a follow up post in Element14, Arduino forums, internet searches etc to track down the problem.

I found the Arduino Starter Kit was a great introduction Element14's Arduino Starter Kit Competition - Part 1 ; there were a few failings in the kit (mainly some cheap components) but overall it was very informative and great fun.

I am also new to Arduino.

The way like everyone suggested is to download it and get started. Plenty of examples are there online

The book "Exploring Arduino: Tools and Techniques for Engineering Wizardry" really helped me when I first started learning to use the Arduino.

I like Simon Monk’s pair of Arduino books.
