If you are just getting started with Arduino it would be beneficial to go through our introductory power points on using Arduino. These presentations and code can be found here (194 Mb zip download).

Oh, I so wish that (a) I lived in (or near) Boulder, Colorado and (b) I was a high school kid again, because then I could attend the forthcoming “Introduction to Arduino” Workshop that's to be hosted ...

Get an Arduino and teach yourself to program Programming is more than just picking a language and framework. Programming means understanding how code interacts with actual computer hardware.

I'll be focusing more on I/O and analog based microcontrollers, such as those running Arduino, and using Atmel chips as examples (these are most commonly available, and easy to program).

Sparki is mostly geared toward education, with a suggested age of 11 and up. But there's nothing stopping adults from using Sparki as an easy introduction to Arduino programming.

Below there is the fantastic Arduino documentary. It's a few months old but it was really well done and has a lot of info you might not know about the origins of Arduino and why it came to be.

As a result, this project is set up as a how-to for others looking to dive further into the world of microcontrollers that don’t have the same hand-holding setup as the Arduino. To take care of ...

If you don't have an Arduino (or haven't at least played with one), it's a worthy endeavor. The board sells for about $35 on its own or you can get a kit starting at about twice that, which is ...
