Adafruit Learning System. Arduino Tutorial - Lesson 1 - Let there be blink! Ah yes, it is finally time to make your Arduino do something! We're going to start with the classic hello world! Of electronics, a blinking light. This lesson will basically get you up and running using the Arduino software and uploading a sketch to the Arduino board.
Once you've completed this step we can continue to the really exciting stuff, which is when we start writing our own sketches! These instructions mostly show Windows software. Except when indicated, the software (should be) identical on all platforms. Linux will be added once I figure out how to get it working (yay) Not much is needed for this lesson, just a USB cable and an Arduino. Make sure you've gone through Lesson 0 first!
The first thing to do is download the Arduino software. Go to the Arduino Software Download page and grab the right file for your OS. The packages are quite large, 30-50 MB so it may take a while to finish Extract the package onto the Desktop Windows Mac OS X Double click the Arduino software icon. Tutorials. An Arduino Compatible Wearable Electronics Platform For the last few years Ladyada has been thinking about everything she wanted in a wearable electronics platform for Adafruit's community of makers, hackers, crafters, artists, designers and engineers. After numerous prototypes, we finally have what we think is the perfect platform.We call it the FLORA. Learn how to use the FLORA in your wearable electronics projects. We already have some great tutorials to show you how to use the FLORA, FLORA Ultimate GPS, and FLORA RGB Smart Pixels.
More FLORA products and tutorials are coming soon. Learn More. DesignSpark | The gateway to online resources and design support for engineers. Makers | Hong Kong Mini Maker Faire. Arduino - HomePage. Firefly's Page. The Firefly toolbar, Firmata, Primer, examples files and more can now be downloaded at: What is Firefly? Firefly is a set of comprehensive software tools dedicated to bridging the gap between Grasshopper (a free plug-in for Rhino), the Arduino micro-controller, the internet and beyond.
It allows near real-time data flow between the digital and physical worlds, and will read/write data to/from internet feeds, remote sensors and more. It also includes a Pachube reader. 3ders.org - 3D printing and 3D printers news, trends and resources. Store.
