Is anyone interested in holding another introduction to Arduino workshop? I am a complete newbie to this but am excited to explore the possibilities of what can be done with these and similar boards.
I’d like to bring my middle son to one of these as well.
I’ll put together a little something. Stay tuned.
Do you have an arduino or should I put together a kit to buy to build the project?
I gots a kit.
I need to get the gear but I see lots of different arduino models out there and not sure which one I should get.
By all accounts the uno is a good place to start.
Should I grab one of those or is it best to buy a kit when we do the session? Also wondering if we could use an 03 module to control things from the phone or via wifi? Or is this too advanced for a first project?
If I should get one ahead of time, does anybody know the best/ cheapest source for these boards?
If you’re ok with fakes and waiting 30-60 days then aliexpress is the go (this is what I do). Locally Lees is probably your best choice. Best to choose one without the chinese serial chip (although these are getting better).
(not an endorsement, I did buy one of these, not sure if I have used it).
I’ll do a kit I think, and maybe a three-session project with three
distinct projects which work together for a final victory.
Day 1 - LED control.
Day 2 - Inputs.
Day 3 - Servo control
Wait until Dennis puts something together. The kit I have may be overkill
for that.
Thank you! I’m looking forward to it.
Hi Im new to this forum. My name is Shawn, I live in Langley and love computers! I havent browsed around much yet as I just came accros this website for the first time. but this Arduino beginners group post really caught my attention and I signed up so I could get involved in the forum. If you dont mind can you guys fill me in as to when this is and what I should buy to prepare, Also any cost for membership etc I should know about?
I’ve picked up a few from aliexpress for $5 a pop. They have mostly been good. One had a driver issue that took a while to fix but they were definitely worth ordering if you don’t mind the wait.
@shawnsetia this thread has some of the answers, ask anything else you need to know in there.
Cheers,
Tom
So I am still a little unclear as to the best place to buy an arduino for this Sunday’s class, Lee’s or vending machine? Are the ones in the vending machine Unos?
cheers, J
My intro to electronics class will cover some of arduino. I plan to run them every two weeks.
The ones in the vending machine are knock offs. I will have Arduinos available.
Thanks Dan, are they uno’s and how much should I bring?
$30 for the UNOs.
OK, do I also need some other things like a communication cable?
