Summary of Tutorials for Arduino Getting Acquainted with Arduino


Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform for artists, designers, hobbyists, and makers. It uses a programmable microcontroller and the Arduino language/IDE to read sensors and control actuators, enabling standalone projects or computer-connected interactive systems. The article lists a series of Jeremy Blum tutorial videos covering basics through advanced topics (buttons, PWM, motors, serial/I2C/SPI, wireless, interrupts, SD logging, RFID, LCDs, GPS), with parts lists, code, and schematics available on his website.

Parts used in theGetting Acquainted with Arduino:

  • Arduino board (generic Arduino microcontroller board)
  • Assorted sensors (analog and digital sensors)
  • Buttons
  • LEDs and other lights
  • Motors and transistors
  • Serial communication interface (USB cable)
  • I2C devices
  • SPI devices
  • Wireless communication modules
  • SD card module
  • RFID reader and cards
  • Liquid crystal display (LCD)
  • GPS module
  • Assorted wires, breadboard, and prototyping hardware

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).
