What Is Arduino? What Can You Do With It? Explained

[@ChrisVranos]

Thank you for this video. I've never worked with electronics in any capacity before, and you really nailed it in an understandable way.

Great video, thanks! I work with Industrial PLCs for a living and primarily use Ladder Logic with very limited structured text and function block diagram in the programming. I was going to mention the micro/mili secont bit but saw someone already did. Cool to see it used here as it is the most common time base used in the PLCs that I've seen. I want to start picking up some DIY projects and learn a bit more of textual programming language. Thank you for the vid and recommendation on the starter board. I want to see what functions I am able to mimic from ladder logic and for my first real project I want to make an automatic pet feeder for 2 cats ! 😄 Thanks again!

I think he might be misusing the term microsecond. There are 1,000,000 microseconds per second. There are 1,000 milliseconds per second.

Ahh, good catch.

[@rimantasdanilevicius6754]

quite informative info. Thank you.

I've been using mine with an lcd key shield to code in security keys for game boards but just lately been wondering what else i could use it for, its a great bit of kit.

nice one, but u might to give it a replay to get it a little bit more clear

[@Paul_Bearden]

The time is in milliseconds, micro means "1 millionth".

Great video

As a fan of JavaScript, Solid.js and Node.js - coming to Arduino - I really hate the semicolons in C++. I think I need to install MicroPython.

Milli-seconds, not micro-seconds in delay

Ardrino hardware make a stereo music system

How is this compared to the raspberry pi?

[@MakeUseOf]

Arduino is best suited to learning electronics and simple C programming. If you have an idea for an electronic project and need to prorotype it quickly, choose Arduino. Raspberry Pi is more like a mini-computer that you download software for, and while it can interact with electronics, it's a bit more of a faff and you have the overhead of an operating system, so things can run slower. Raspberry Pi is better if you need things like a user interface, mouse/keyboard etc things that need drivers.

In typical nerd fashion, some insanely complex topics are brushed over as if "everybody knows that." The programming code and syntax are utterly incomprehensible. He makes no mention of where to find and learn that code. Ardiuno cannot be used without knowing that secret coder language, so, in a sense, this video is useless.

[@MakeUseOf]

I didn't even remotely brush over it. This video explains what Arduino is and what you can do with it, not how to start coding with it.

[@mannyfresh8612]

Maybe when you do the coding video you can give the list code , I’m new to this and we’ll I would also like to understand how it actually works in projects to do

[@Daniel_WR_Hart]

He said Blink is an extension of C, so if you learn C from a dedicated C tutorial, you will be off to a good start learning Blink
