t r o n i x s t u f f Parts & Kits for Arduino Online, Buy Microcontroller Boards, Electronic Components for Arduino - Welcome - Freetronics Arduino Resources Arduino Resources I really love cheat sheets. In a lot of cases they can take the place of an entire manual. So I was surprised, given its popularity that I couldn’t find a single-page reference for the arduino online. I tried to make a sheet that captured all the things I hit the reference for while programming. What data type does the millis() function return? Any other things you’d like to see added, send me an email and I’ll stick them on Rev 3! Edit: Thanks to Macca and TBAr for their feedback. Download: PNG PDF Visio —- Gavin
Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects What is Arduino? Learn About This Open-Source Electronics Platform Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. Today we will help you get started by showing you some of the options available and how easy it is to get started. Arduino hardware is an open-source circuit board with a microprocessor and input/output (I/O) pins for communication and controlling physical objects (LED, servos, buttons, etc.). Arduino also has an open-source software component which is similar to C++. All of this was designed to be easy to use to let artists and makers freely develop their ideas into real objects. Arduino Variants The Arduino hardware being “open-source” means that you can view schematics of every board available. The image below was created using Fritzing and is the layout for a basic Arduino using a bread board. The Arduino comes in a variety of different types that make choosing the right one difficult to decide, but variety also allows for flexibility in choosing the perfect solution. XBee
Webcast: How to Get a Raspberry Pi Up and Running This Wednesday, Shawn Wallace and I will be hosting an O’Reilly webcast about the basics of how to get a Raspberry Pi up and running. It’s a free webcast, but you do have to register to attend. If you can’t make it to the webcast, check out our book, Getting Started with Raspberry Pi, which is now available and is even included in the Maker Shed’s Raspberry Pi Starter Kit! Here are all the details about the webcast from O’Reilly: So you got a Raspberry Pi for the Holidays: how to get it up-and-running Wednesday, January 23, 2013 10AM PT, San Francisco 6pm – London | 1pm – New York | Thu, Jan 24th at 5am – Sydney | Thu, Jan 24th at 3am – Tokyo | Thu, Jan 24th at 2am – Beijing | 11:30pm – Mumbai The credit-card-sized Raspberry Pi was developed to lower the barriers to teaching young people programming, and it is also popular with hardware hackers and hobbyists who may have a project that needs more computing power than a microcontroller.
