6/25/2015If you're new to do-it-yourself computing, start by learning how to get your Mac or Windows computer communicating with Arduino and reviewing the basics of electronic components and circuits. Then tour the most basic Arduino model, the Uno, and learn to write your first program. Peggy also reviews the five other major Arduino offerings: the Leonardo, the Yun, the Esplora, the Robot, and, for wearable tech, the LilyPad. Along the way, Peggy shows how to put your knowledge to work in several sample projects, including a Morse code translator and a light-driven music instrument.
- Installing Arduino software on Mac and Windows
- Understanding circuit diagrams
- Using a solderless breadboard
- Writing your first project for the Arduino Uno
- Programming the Arduino Leonardo
- Connecting wirelessly to the Arduino Yun
- Displaying and moving with the Arduino Esplora
- Driving with the Arduino Robot
- Sensing and adjusting light
- Creating wearable tech with Arduino LilyPad
- Troubleshooting techniques

- Hi, I'm Peggy Fisher. And welcome to Up and Running with Arduino. Arduino is an open-source microcontroller that makes interacting with objects in environments easy. Microcontrollers are everywhere, from R/C cars, to walkie-talkies, even watches. The Arduino boards might be small, but don't let their size deceive you. They are powerful in their capabilities, and provide lots of room for growth. In this course, we will start with the most popular board, the Arduino Uno.
Throughout the course, we will also explore the Leonardo, the Esplora, and the Yun. We will even take a look at the Lily Pad, which is designed to be sewn into your clothing. Before diving into programming with the microcontroller boards, we'll start by covering some basic information about electronic components and circuits. In addition, I'll show you how to set up your computer to talk to the Arduino, on both a Mac and a PC. And we'll even explore projects that make lights flash, robots dance, and so much more.
Let's get Up and Running with Arduino.
