  • I think the best way to start off is to get a couple of electronics parts and run through the basic sample sketches to see what happens.

    It helps to have a goal in mind so that you can actually apply the arduino in a practical way.

    Let's say you saw something cool and want to replicate a bunch of blinking lights or the larson scanner(cylon-knight rider) lights.

    Start out with getting one LED to blink.  You then get the confidence to change around the variables to get it to blink longer or have gaps in the blink.

    You then learn to fade the LED.  Pretty soon you can add one or more LEDs and blink them all on at once or loop in a pattern. Now what if you want to add a pushbutton switch to activate the lights.

    You then learn about pullup resistors, a little more complicated circuitry, and more programming syntax.  It is easy once you get all the basic building blocks a try.  Jump right in.  Good luck.
