I am abosolutely beginner but have experienced with programming. I have dreamed to build a robot for ages and I have keep searching on google but have no luck because the tutorial is not for beginner. So hope you guys can pin point me to any beginner tutorial on how to build our own simple microcontroller or breadboard to just do simple task ex: blinking the led something like that which I can just follow the instruction with clear picture and I will be able to make it myself.
P.S. honestly, I don't know even the differences between microcontroller and breadboard.
Arduino’s are based on the C programming language so you’ll be running in no time and it has some of the largest user support of any microcontroller in existence to date.
Thank you! Actually, I have experienced with several languages such as Java, PHP, C#, Delphi and C++ but no chance to get into depth in each one but currently I am working with C#,C++, and Delphi and I found C++ interesting. Anyway, C++ and C are not quite different and I’d like to improve my C and C++ programming with robot as well so thank you!
Btw, do you have any recommended book about C programming with Arduino or walk through tutorial sth like that?
You don’t need help to blink a LED. Just buy a board (I prefer Arduino) then connect it with your computer, install the USB driver (should be automatically or download it from arduino.cc
Then Download the Arduino IDE as well, run it, choose your board and COM port (all is well described in the tutorial on arduino.cc)
Then open examples -> Basics -> Blink. Upload it to your board and see the onboard LED connected to I/O 13 blinking. from there it’s only a small step to a robot
Thank you Chuck! For Arduino I like your first link very much the lesson is precise and I don’t know how come I did not come across this good link so far with googling for sometimes on Arduino.
Hey, you just need to change the subject line to something that people can navigate from - howabout “Programming microcontrollers” or something? Please fix the title - I know a webmaster on this site who is very kean on killing because the site is so clean for “Please help me”-posts, and he intends to keep it that way.
In general, since you are new; E-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g on this site is something we made. we are also you now. This site belongs to you.
You are building it when ever you post.
You are NOT building a good site with a headline that …well… imagine if everyone did like you have done so far… you see? Then there would be no site, so it is serious, not a joke.
For the love of God, change the friggin’ title, dude.
Change the title of this post!
As a word of advice, you REALLY need to change the title of this post. Basically, you are going to ■■■■-off a bunch of people, then after a while, Frits will get sick of seeing the title and will A) delete this post and B) delete your account. This is not a joke.
“Please Help” is the single worst thing you can do around here. Like, really-really.
Change it NOW, dude.
BTW, “I will change it soon ‘lolz’” does not help your case at all. --Even more so when you didn’t.
