Arduino Tutorials for beginners and onwards

Hello

On a semi-regular basis I publish a series of Arduino tutorials. We cover the basics all the way to GPS modules, GSM cellular, a variety of wireless systems and so on. If you are interested, please visit tronixstuff.com/tutorials.

cheers

Your Tutorials are spot on ! I write English instruction manuals as part of my job and the clarity of explanation in your tutorials is exactly what I aim for when writing. Well done !

Is anyone using a Wintel pc to program Arduino? I was unsuccessful a couple of years ago with a "lily pad" and a stubborn IDE error message (sorry, don't remember). No problems with others, (Stamp, Rabbit, etc.)

Things have come a long way. We use Windows XP, Windows 7 x64 and I know someone who uses Vista (shudder) - all work fine with the latest version of Arduino IDE. In the past some people had problems using Lilypads and other boards that required RS232>USB converters as Windows would sometimes not have the required FTDI drivers. Now this is generally a non-issue and you should be fine.

I have used a wintel PC to program Arduinos (though I do most of my Arduino hacking on a Mac.)
You have to be a little bit more specific these days, since "wintel" now includes at least three major versions of Windows, each with several subsets and its own set of security quirks (not to mention configurations.) The system I was using was a corporate XP laptop with lots of nannyware loaded...

Thanks - I am trying to remember where I put it. I never throw stuff away. I have a Windows 7 64-bit box now.

I tried again with v22 IDE and got same error. Saw this thread and tried reversing rx and tx but no luck.

I ordered an UNO with a TCPIP shield.

Thank you. I used to write procedure manuals and work instructions as part of ISO9000 certification, so that gave me plenty of practice.
If you have any questions let me know directly via the site.
cheers

Well I'm still going strong, up to forty-one chapters now. Plus there is a book in the works as well. It is great to now see element-14 with a range of Arduino boards and related books as well.

Hi John,

I have been going through your tutorials on line and they are first rate. They helped me decide to bite the bullet and go into the Arduino family and I am having fun learning to use this versatile little board.

Keep up the good work, I know I look forward to your next tutorial.

Thanks,
DAB
