Arduino Step by Step Getting Started - The Arduino Uno over the years | Tech Explorations Tech Explorations 2022-10-04 | Arduino boards are evolving.The first Arduino, an ATMega328P on a bare-bones circuit board, is shown below:upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/The first Arduino.jpegModern Arduinos are diverse. There are general-purpose and specialized boards.There are boards designed for simplicity and education, and others for tough industrial applications.This lecture will help you understand how Arduino boards have evolved over the years.For the complete course visit: techexplorations.com/so/asbsgs2
Arduino Step by Step Getting Started - Update 2022 brief | Tech Explorations Tech Explorations 2022-10-04 | I published the first edition of this course in 2017. I recorded this video in October of 2022, and the Arduino Uno is still the best Arduino board for people new to programmable electronics. My course 'Arduino Step by Step Getting Started' (techexplorations.com/so/asbsgs2) introduced tens of thousands of people to the world of the Arduino. Many of my students pursued engineering degrees; others used their skills to create art, experiment with technology, or teach.Even though the Arduino ecosystem is stable, some changes are worth discussing in a course for beginners. In this update, I address some of the most significant changes in the Arduino ecosystem while improving the original content. In this video, I discuss this update, the new content I've prepared, and how to approach this course if you're new to it or have already completed it.
