What are some good first projects

tdguy

What I'm looking for are some great first projects and maybe some more advance projects for a beginner who is learning outside of the traditional learning medium.  Just a good beginnings for anybody that is new and needs help in a good direction just to get the experience would be nice.

  • There are lots of good things, often explained, at...

     

    Arduino Playground - HomePage

     

    You'll want to watch out for things that need too many, too expensive "add ons", or just components. Also, a novice can run into trouble when things clash that work fine in isolation... but that's just a portion of the learning curve to be dealt with... sometime.

     

    There are many online courses which are built around Things You Can Do. Indeed, it is pretty hard to write a course that is NOT example led. Well... one that I would want to read!

     

    The advantage of a "course" is that the author has, we hope, tried to go from step to step, introducing new bits of "the Arduino will do this if you do that" in a logical and constructive sequence.

     

    If you'll forgive me grinding my own axe, I've tried to do just that with...

     

    Course for Arduino Programming: table of contents- (FA1main.htm)

     

    It probably isn't the best one out there... but I did teach for 20 years, 12 of them "officially" teaching computing, and sneaking computers into science lessons for some of the other!

     

    I hope other people will suggest others to you.

     

    I would also commend the Arduino Forum - Index as a place to go. Look at the things other people are doing. Before long, you'll see things that make you say "I want to try THAT!..."
