Hi<\/p>\n

I just want to write a few words for those new to Arduinos, or those looking for tutorials, guides etc. If you haven’t got a Arduino board yet, you can get one from several places, I’ll list some of my favorite shops. And of course you also need the Arduino Software!<\/a><\/p>\n

Sparkfun<\/a>
\nSeeedstduio<\/a>
\nAdafruit<\/a><\/p>\n

Or, Modified Electronics<\/a> for the great Pico! (not recommended for beginners, you’ll be better of with a normal board).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What you are looking for is the Arduino Duemilanove<\/a>, the USB board. Which will suit most your needs. It’s very easy to use, and wires can be plugged right into it. Later on you might want a Boarduino <\/a>or maybe a Pico as mentioned above, they are great for using in combination with breadboards! Alternatively you can get the Starter kit, almost all shops got these. Sparkfun <\/a>got a nice kit, which is worth a look.<\/p>\n

If you should want more I\/Os, or just more space for code the Arduino Mega<\/a> is a great choice! Or the Sanguino<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Parts!<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will always need parts, resistors, leds, breadboards, wires etc. I’ll list up a few shops that I use the most.<\/p>\n

Futurlec<\/a><\/p>\n

Lots of cheap basic parts! recommend the resistor packs<\/a>, and they also got cheap breadboards<\/a>. And all of the shops mentioned above stock parts too. For jumper-wires I recommend these <\/a>at seeedstudio. Futurlec also got some nice jumper-kits. For extra small breadboards these <\/a>at Seeedstudio are very nice!<\/p>\n

Pololu<\/a><\/p>\n

Great site for robotics, motors, gearboxes etc. They also got a nice tracked chassis<\/a>. They got a lot great products, sensors, motor controllers, etc.<\/p>\n

Tutorials\/Guides\/etc<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>The basic guide, from sparkfun. You should start with this!<\/a><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> The Complete Beginners Guide to The Arduino<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Adafruit’s Arduino Tutorials<\/a><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Arduino.cc`s Tutorials<\/a><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Arduino.cc Reference!<\/a> Not tutorials, but handy!<\/p>\n

Also the Libaries <\/a>page at Arduino.cc is great! I’m sure you’ll find something to use in several projects!<\/p>\n

Well, thats all I’ll write for now. I’m sure I left out alot, and will update this post when I find something new to add \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

PS. If you got any questions etc, please take it in my forums post here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
