#Arduino code language how to#

Now that we have a basic handle on that, we want to learn how to connect and control external components to expand our capability. In the last section we learned what components came with the kit, how to set up the software and to program the on-board LED to blink. but it helps to advance the capabilities of the software, and every little bit helps. There is a section for a donation, it is an optional step. To program the Arduino you will need the software, it's free and can be downloaded here: Once we have the software running and know we can communicate, then we will go to STEP 2 and learn more! Let's jump to the first video, look at what is in the box, download and set up our software, and get a simple LED to blink. Potentiometer - (V ariable Resistor) This allows us to have an analog input.We can even plot the temperature on a graph. IR Remote Control - We can control things with a very simple interface.Photocells - We can look for light, that will be useful.Breadboard - I didn't have to find one.Resistors - We need these for some of the experiments.A Battery Case - So once it's programmed.7-Segment Display - We can make numbers!.

Arduino UNO R3 - Very powerful, and quite a few I/O ports.So let's jump in and get started! First we will go through all the stuff in the box. so they gave me a promo code to give anyone else a discount. I liked this kit enough that I contacted them and said I was going to do an Instructable. There was actually so much to learn that i am breaking this Instructable into two parts. I figured i could make a series of 10 videos. the KT003 looked like a really good start. I was looking on a site called and saw that they had some pretty extensive kits. Getting Started with Atmel AVR and BASCOM I have been using something called BASCOM and even wrote an Instructable on it. My friends have been trying for nearly a decade to get me to learn how to program the Arduino using the sketch IDE.
