Effective usage of Arduino within a month??

Question

Good day guys, what and what do I need to do (in terms of hardware and software) so that I can be able to confidently and effectively use Arduino . I will appreciate your responses.

It really depends on your experience, but Arduino has a pretty low technical entry point.

You may start with a Arduino Stater Kit such as :

https://store.arduino.cc/usa/arduino-starter-kit

Then check out the Arduino Playground for basics on topics such as Board Setup and Configuration:

NOTE: This will be going to Read-only at the end of December 2018

http://playground.arduino.cc/

Then the Arduino Tutorial site:

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/HomePage

Outside of the cool projects listed on element14, have a peek at the Arduino Project Hub.

This Simon Monk book might be helpful if you prefer something in book format:

Good luck

I would suggest to find a project that you could use in your everyday life around house. Or something fun to do with the kids is also motivational.

It can be a simple weather station to making your Christmas lights fancy.

There are many day to day projects in element14.

Cheers

There are many resources available for getting started with arduinos.

Jeremy Blum did a series of tutorials among others.

It partly depends on where you are starting from. What is your education and experience background?
