help in starting with arduino

Former Member

Dear all

How are you?

I'm a peginner with arduino and I want to know from where to start with arduino? and is it required to know how to program with C or not

  • Arduino.cc has Getting Started and Learning sections: http://www.arduino.cc

    And Oomlout has a great tutorial: http://www.oomlout.com/a/products/ardx/

     

    Hope that helps, and enjoy!

  • Two statements about this is true:

    1 It helps to have some familiarity in programming.
    2 It helps to be somewhat familiar with electronics.

     

    Impatient as I once was, I connected my first arduino and got the IDE running.

    Next i found myself a bare minimal code skeleton doing absolutley nothing useful just to see if I could compile and download.

    To expand on that i found out about setting a pin as output (pin13 LED is a nice start, most boards have it buil in).

    The arduino documentation usually has code exaples that is helpful.

     

    Tell us more about your background to help us help.

     

    Bare skeleton:

    void setup(){

    }

     

    void loop(){

    }

     

    My first blinker:

    void setup(){

      pinMode(13,OUTPUT);

    }

     

    void loop(){

       digitalWrite(13,HIGH);

      delay(500);

      digitalWrite(13,LOW);

      delay(500);

    }
