Arduino for beginners

Former Member over 10 years ago

Hello everyone, i m Omkar.

i am a mechanical engineering student.

i recently conducted a 2 days workshop on arduino arranged by ROBOSPECIES, India.

I found it very much interesting.

I am completely new to this concept. And i dont have any programming background either.

So can anyone please guide me about HOW SHOULD I START ???

Beside what Workshopshed gave as an idea, take a look at Arduino Tutorial - Learn electronics and microcontrollers using Arduino! . This is a very good way to go as well, C

alway's remember for beginner's, all Arduino user's are beginner's no matter how long you've used it. You can alway's learn more about it. Like in life, We're all students alway's learning if I may say…

Pick a project and implement it with Arduino. If you are interested in robotics perhaps something with motors or positional sensors?
For most tasks it's possible to find a similar project and adjust it to meet your requirements. This allows you to learn the code without the need to start from scratch. Your course should have given you the basics for programming the board but if not then start with the blink example that comes with the Arduino development environment.

Perhaps my Topsy Turvy clock project might give you some ideas.

The Website is a bit of a mess now, but if you work your way thru the tutorials you will have all the basics covered.

Best way to getting started with arduino is understand and do handson on inbuilt examples. Also make you custom small project with arduino and get more knowledge about arduino.
Here i suggest a link from which you get some idea to make project with it.
Note: Follow safety rule before doing any handson.

Thank you Instructables.
