New to Arduino and Programming

Former Member

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

    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 and on that basis I can highly recommend the following titles.

    Programming Arduino - Getting started with sketches by Simon Monk.  Excellent value and a thoroughly enjoyable learning experience.

    Arduino Cookbook by Maichael Margolis.  The 'bible' of Arduino information.  Perhaps getting a little dated but still a very good solid foundation to learn from.

    Beginning C for Arduino by Jack Purdum.  One of the best books I have read on learning C programming on the Arduino.  Very good if you want to learn more about the language.

     

    If you want some good on line tutorials have a look at the Jeremy Blum videos.

     

    There is loads of information out there for free, sometimes too much, the books I have mentioned collate much of it into one place.  You can always have a good read whilst the 286 flies the plain!

     

    If you need any further help with your project please ask.  The guys on E14 have a tremendous wealth of knowledge.
