New to Arduino and Programming

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi Everyone;

 

I am completely new to programming but have been fascinated by all aspects of programming and the gadgets one can build using these Arduino kits. My day-to-day job is that of a pilot - I fly Airbus A320 family aircraft which are completely fly-by-wire and are very heavily automated.

 

I was wondering if someone could refer me to a good guide for starting to learn how to write code and programming Arduino. I am a complete programming virgin and know nothing beyond some very basic stuff - that being said, I know what I want to achieve and I am hoping that perhaps someone could point me in the right direction for what kit components I should buy, the code that I should be writing and how to integrate it all together. If someone can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks;

 

Pete

    Hi Pete, Jeremy Blum's Arduino tutorials helped me a lot! Go check them out on you tube, he explains the fundamentals very nicely. Here is a link to his Arduino you tube tutorials: http://www.youtube.com…

    Hi Clem, Thanks so much for your reply. I will have a gander at that tonight while I am dead heading and will likely have a few more questions. I know what I want to do, I just need to learn how to write…

    Pete, It depends on how you want to gain your knowledge, some people prefer free on line tutorials, some prefer books either conventional or Kindle format. Personally I prefer books to learn a subject…

    Pete,

         Check out this online tutorial. It has some hardware, but leans to the software side mostly. It assumes very little knowledge. I would pickup a simple Uno first with a few parts.

    Welcome to the microcontroller world,

    Hi Clem,

     

    Thanks so much for your reply.

     

    I will have a gander at that tonight while I am dead heading and will

    likely have a few more questions. I know what I want to do, I just need to

    learn how to write the code and assemble the components to make it happen.

     

    When I look at all this programming it really makes me appreciate all of

    the technology that is integrated into the A320s that I fly....the software

    at the heart of the A320 runs on an Intel 286 processor bit in many ways,

    its still very advanced...it can out think the pilot in some cases.

     

    Thanks for your help,

     

    Regards,

     

    Pete

    Coming from avionics engineering, I can tell you the magnitude of software is mind blowing.
