This tutorials series is absolutely invaluable. Looking forward to finishing this series and then starting with the next one. This is what all education should look like!
One of the things I appreciate the most is having these videos to where I can pause or re-run. At 82 years old, trying to learn something totally new takes a lot more time then I'd have were I in a classroom. I can go over and over the material until I think I really understand it all. Great job Paul. Loving the clarity of your presentations. See, even at 82 one can still learn in the right environment.
I agree. the art of teaching in school and universities has been completely lost. Now they just try to JAM info down your throat, with little to no "How and Why". The only real requirement for passing exams now is a good memory. You dont have to understand things, just remember facts and how to solve some problems (usually remembering some formulas and recognizing when to use them). Paul is old school, and that's one hell of a lot better (imho).
I always pause the video when you say, "I want you to..." or "What if we wanted x to do y?" and try to do it myself first before proceeding. I think it's helpful to have practice finding my own mistakes. Plus, when you "make a mistake" (quotations because I'm sure most are on purpose to keep us on our toes!) I don't end up copying it into my own code. I'm glad you have a lot of videos here because I plan to watch every single one and do all the exercises so I get lots of practice. Your videos give me hope that soon I'll be able to manipulate LEDs in my work as easily as the wire I weave with. This series is truly an invaluable resource!
I am a 61 year old carpenter starting arduino as a retirement hobby. I want to thank you for your tutorials you do a great job explaining them. The only computer skills I had was using my smart phone and I am still able to figure it out. Keep up the good work. Jim M
Dropped out of engineering after my freshman year, spent the next 42 years working Avionics on military and commercial aircraft. I'm now back to engineering classes as an old guy and loving it! Love your teaching style!
I really enjoy your videos and the small conversations you hold throughout. I was able to get the numbers to count backwards without folding like a card table.
Here's some tips for the peeps when it comes to 'incrementation' in C++: instead of writing j = j + 1, you can write j += 1, OR j++ All of those commands do the same thing, increment your integer by ONE. Note that if you want to increment by more than one, you can no longer use the ++ command, that's only reserved for incrementing by factor of one. If you want to increment by 2, you can use j += 2 etc. Same goes for negatives: j = j - 1 is the same as j -= 1 and the same as j-- (two minus symbols)... If you want to increment by negative two, you can write j -=2 etc.
You're lectures are literally heaven sent. God bless you Sir!!!! :D

Before starting this video, I would like to share something. I had mixed feelings, I was happy because I'm learining new tricks, and I was sad because I'm consuming/finishing these series. Then I take a look at the playlist, there are 52 more episodes! BOOM!
figured it out and coded in about 10 seconds flat. Thank you for not just showing us how to do things, but allowing us opportunities for critical thinking and coming to our on conclusions.
Hello. Greetings from Norway. I am taking the electrician subject as a private candidate. I have just started using Arduino. I have read and tried my hand a bit before I got a tip from a teacher to look at you. Now I have seen all 16 episodes and you have taught me so much. I think this is incredibly fun and you will help me with the exam that I will have soon. Can't wait to see the rest of your movies:) Thanks for helping me😁😀
Yeah I figured it out. I have done a lot of Python programming and stuff like that so it's pretty simple programming. I have also done some HTML and touched on CSS. It's all fun and games!
Paul, A retired Electronics Instructor here, March of 21. Found out about you and your instruction on Arduino last Sat. Enjoying watching the videos, waiting on kit to arrive. I can only hope that my teaching was even a little bit as good as yours. Would have been great to have taught at the same location. Thanks George KE0QCC
I just feel there is much more about those “FOR loops” for me to be able to make some useful things with arduino! Watching and hoping more will be disclosed, thank you.
Hi Paul, I sit here in Germany and watch your Video. It is absolute awesome how you explain things. On my table no Ice Coffee but Bratwurst, Sauerkraut und Bier. Have a good day and Thanks for the good time with you.
I am a big Sauerkraut fan. I make my own, and always have a big batch underway. I grow my own cabbage for it, and really like to make kraut from purple cabbage. Also love sausages, but probably not as good as what you can find.
I am a first year electrical engineering student and this course or tutorials are just fantastic ... I enjoy learning about electronics and the programming of these logic controllers ... thanks Paul for sharing you knowledge and wisdom
Hello Paul, I also completed this tutorial and it was easier than I expected. Counting forwards, only the even numbers, and counting backwards went fine. Tomorrow, June 29, 2024, I will turn 67 and will enjoy my retirement, but from Monday the 1st of July I will continue with your tutorials again. It's just great to follow it and participate.
I figured it out by my self. At first the numbers ran bellow zero,then by making some different approaches it succeed. Very good way to let us try to do coding during the lesson.Thanks Poul
Love these video's! I'm an undergraduate mechanical engineering student and have been following along with my elego super kit, I make sure to watch all the way till the end. God bless you man!
Currently paused right before you fully explain the countdown from 10. I wasn't able to get the countdown from 10 until you said that it goes on forever then it clicked. I had to cut off the count at 1 so it changes "j" to greater than or equal to 1. Really inspires confidence.
I just wanted to say that you are the only source i have been using for learning the arduino and I am hooked. Thank you for being such an amazing teacher!
Took me less than a minute to figure it out, but I couldn't test it because my Arduino Uno will arrive tomorrow. As these lessons are so amazing, I couldn't wait for Arduino and started without it, but will definitely go through all the lessons from the beginning once again as my kit arrives. As a mechanical engineer who has no background in electronics, I'm thrilled with the stuff that you are discovering for us. Keep up the good work
Did it and tried out using variables, worked a treat. float j; // Declaring j as a float int start = 1; // Declaring the variable "start" point int finish = 25; // Declaring the variable "finish" point float countin = 0.2; // Declaring "countin" the increase in number to count int wait = 500; // Declaring "wait" in millisecs Thanks Paul you are doing a fantastic job on these tutorials .
Yes, worked the problems out. Recalling some of the stuff used in BASIC programming helps with concepts like "less than or equal to". Thanks again for these tutorials Paul.
Got it immediately, also love this tutorial, it is super informative and I went from knowing nothing about arduinos to actually understanding how to code it, and I'm only a quarter of the way through I'm willing to bet that this series is the best arduino tutorial on the internet.
I am very much enjoying this, and the fact that I was able to count back to zero and stopped at zero is testimony to the quality of the teaching, rather than my own innate ability. Thank you Paul.
Of course I figured it out. The first attempt didn't print anything. I only forgot to change the condition from j=10 and it worked. So you can be proud that I understood all you are trying to teach me.
I paused video and did indeed figure it out after only 3 unsuccessful attempts. I love this class. Cannot wait to get to Python language and code Arduino with it.
I have just taken up Arduino as hobby and absolutely enjoy your tutorials. I have some programming experience which has proven to be helpful. I have come across a shortcut for copying and pasting code. Instead of ctrl + C and ctrl + V, highlight the code you want to duplicate and hold down alt+shift+arrowdown, works like a charm. Thank you for the lessons!
I just waited for the answer. Its been a long wet workday my mind is tired. I do save notes and will go back and play around some more with this. Thank you Paul.
I paused it and figured it out but had the same problem you did at first with the continuous counting down until I fixed it. Thanks for the refresher on all the programming, since I haven't used it for a long time.
I paused and figured out all of the variations before you asked us to do that for the "counting backwards" exercise, so I was able to figure it out without any hassle.
Yes, I got it. A long time ago I was a better than decent programmer. Semi-retired Engineer, having fun with all the toys we didn't have when we were younger. I have done all the homework. I am sharpening my skills, so I can help my grandkids develop an interest in problem solving (Engineering). My 8 year old grand daughter has already gotten fired up just by lighting up an LED. I found your Videos while stumbling around trying to light up multiple LEDs without the burnouts. Needless to say your stuff is a little outside of her grasp, but I have a kit burning thru the Lessons. You have been awesome. It's been said before, where were you when I was in School? I had one math teacher like you at Odessa College one summer or I might have never gotten my degree.
Counted down and just like you predicted I had it counting into negative numbers. Looked at the command and fairly quickly figured out the necessary changes, < to > and 10 to 1 and BAM ... it worked 🍾
I got it 2nd try! My fist comment to you. I am getting into this because I built a retro blinking marquee sign for the observatory I just finished. I got the sign working by studying other codes and tweaking a few generic I downloaded until i got the result I wanted. I found this series and I will re-write my own program! I love these videos...how exciting! Thanks Paul!
I folded like a cheap lawn chair lol. I figured it out on my own but it kept going below zero. I really like your teaching style (I'm a retired tech teacher). Can't wait till tomorrows lesson! greetings from Arizona.
I love your videos! These mini pop quizes are super helpful! Here is the code I did for counting back to 0 int j; int delayTime=500; void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once: Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { // put your main code here, to run repeatedly: for(j=10;j>=0;j=j-1){ Serial.println(j); delay(delayTime); } Serial.println(); }
I was handed an Arduino Mega last week as part of my internship with the instructions "figure it out". Thank you for your excellent instruction and review of what i may have previously learned!
I was able to count backwards in the first attempt because I learned C++ in engineering school but watched the whole video because I love how you refresh everything for me and give useful tips with examples. You're my favorite teacher
Hello Paul - After 4 trials (some 2 minutes) I was able to figure out the right command for decreasing numbers from 10 to 1. The < sign came in my mind and BOOM, bulls eye!! TY. My first language is french, following your tutorials are very easy to understand your voice using very good english.
Coding can be frustrating. After putzing with the code error code "2 or more data types" finally went away. After that counting in either direction was satisfying. You are gifted teacher. Thanks for your effort.
Thanks, Paul. I was able to figure the coding out for myself, thanks to your teaching method. I made a couple of mistakes, but was able to work out what I'd done wrong, and it helped me understand what the different parts of the coding instruction alter.👍
Mr. McWhorter, I discovered this series a bit late but I am glad I did. I've recently begun my Arduino tutorials and I've been hooked on your channel since. God bless you!
I did get it on my own. Got the "j=10" and "j=j-1" parts went to about -50 . Tried "j>=1," took about 2 minutes to realize I had to reverse the ">" than sign...lol I do love this tutorial and I just caught the Public Service Announcement for the robotics tutorial you started earlier this year, I believe I heard you say, I'll be "hooking a brother up" for that series when I get the funds gathered as well. keep them coming Brotha!!!
Thanks for the video, it was fun to play around with different possibilities that for loops have. I was able to make the counter count backwards easily, but I did expect it to go to zero, so it was somewhat surprising when it worked perfectly. Thanks and God bless.
I discovered this channel recently and loving the way you are teaching. I am doing Arduino with my son to encourage him engineering and programming. Good job Paul.
Yes, i figured out how to count backwards from 10. Its all about understanding the parameters. This is so useful, I already have some ideas on where I can use this to help simplify my codes moving forward. Plus, this is getting me excited. I feel like I'm learning quite quickly.
Like many others, I worked out the different coding in order to get the different sequences. I learnt more from my mistakes that way. Thanks for a great tutorial, they make ME think instead of simply copying stuff. You copy, you think you know, but soon find out that you don't KNOW. Oh, and I must, I really must, get out of my new habit. BOOM. Every time my code runs for the first time....BOOM
As soon as I saw the negative integers come up I knew you had set us up for this. I quickly resolved it however not as simply as you did. I added to the less than or equal to 10 value with a greater than or equal to 1, basically giving the counter a top and bottom cap. I am loving your tutorials! On to 17!
I got the count back from 10 to 1 on the first try while you enjoyed the iced coffee. I even my breath and yelled BOOM! Thank you for these tutorials! I ordered the Elegoo kit and started at video 1. Learning something new everyday!
Paul is the greatest. Most getting started with arduino tutorials assume you are a 3rd year engineering student. I took a lot of programming classes in university and was first in class but that was 20 years ago and I've forgotten almost all of the the proper syntax because of some mental health issues from being in emergency services for years. I used to bet people money at parties that I could write pong on any pc in ten lines of code (command prompt

Retired engineer. Really enjoy your enthusiasm and frequent deliberate coding errors. Keeps your students alert.
This tutorials series is absolutely invaluable. Looking forward to finishing this series and then starting with the next one. This is what all education should look like!
I think this guy gets funnier with each video
dude is just roasting people who did it wrong passively
One of the things I appreciate the most is having these videos to where I can pause or re-run. At 82 years old, trying to learn something totally new takes a lot more time then I'd have were I in a classroom. I can go over and over the material until I think I really understand it all. Great job Paul. Loving the clarity of your presentations. See, even at 82 one can still learn in the right environment.
Thanks Jack, at 60, I'm a youngster in the class! That hasn't happened in a long time. :)
I was able to figure out the different counts on my own. These pop quizzes are helping with my coding confidence.
same here
I agree. the art of teaching in school and universities has been completely lost. Now they just try to JAM info down your throat, with little to no "How and Why".
The only real requirement for passing exams now is a good memory. You dont have to understand things, just remember facts and how to solve some problems (usually remembering some formulas and recognizing when to use them). Paul is old school, and that's one hell of a lot better (imho).
Same here and 100% agree.
That's how good teaching works these days otherwise it would just be a lecture.
same here
This toturial is AMAZING. Its very effective, special the "BOOOM".
when programming now I catch myself saying "NO NO don't use a constant set a variable"
Figured out the countdown in about 20 seconds, before you asked. Wish I had you as a teacher when I was in highschool
I always pause the video when you say, "I want you to..." or "What if we wanted x to do y?" and try to do it myself first before proceeding. I think it's helpful to have practice finding my own mistakes. Plus, when you "make a mistake" (quotations because I'm sure most are on purpose to keep us on our toes!)

can't believe it that this 'ARDUINO TUTORIAL' is more spectacular than any action movies that I've watched
Figured it out without having to pause! Trying to catch up Paul!
I am a 61 year old carpenter starting arduino as a retirement hobby. I want to thank you for your tutorials you do a great job explaining them. The only computer skills I had was using my smart phone and I am still able to figure it out. Keep up the good work.

11:36 This is what I was always expecting when you hitting the table like that and It happened😂.Thanks for your another interesting lesson sir.
Dropped out of engineering after my freshman year, spent the next 42 years working Avionics on military and commercial aircraft. I'm now back to engineering classes as an old guy and loving it! Love your teaching style!
the faster you play the video, the stronger paul's iced coffee is
I figured it out right off the bat, but I still ran out of the room crying like a little child... they were tears of joy!
absolutely love the consistency of this series
I really enjoy your videos and the small conversations you hold throughout. I was able to get the numbers to count backwards without folding like a card table.

"BOOM! We got this!" -PW
How do you miss 52 wholesome videos lolol
This is the longest run of start-to-finish, back to back, series of vids I've ever watched
i was able to figure out
i love these series
i wish you were my teacher
figured it out and coded in about 10 seconds flat. Thank you for not just showing us how to do things, but allowing us opportunities for critical thinking and coming to our on conclusions.
I figured it out after a couple tries in a couple minutes. I really needed that confidence boost. Love this series and the exercises!

Sir was able to figure it out easily. Though words and commands are different, but I am experienced with these types of questions from java and js.
I was able to figure it out!
You are not talking to an empty room, you are a great instructor and I appreciate your lessons.
Awesome! Thank you!
Solved it immediately but I understand Basic and HTML so it wasn't to far to stretch.
similar, but for me some simple python
same here, but I know Python and JavaScript
Yeah I figured it out. I have done a lot of Python programming and stuff like that so it's pretty simple programming. I have also done some HTML and touched on CSS. It's all fun and games!
same here. I know for loops in python and I know python nicely.

@@paulmcwhorter Hi Paul you can find the real and good German Bratwurst at ALDI and Trader Joe's!
Sadly I am no where near a Trader Joe.
Awesome man. I appreciate you putting these together!
I am a first year electrical engineering student and this course or tutorials are just fantastic ... I enjoy learning about electronics and the programming of these logic controllers ... thanks Paul for sharing you knowledge and wisdom
Great to hear!
Another Master Class. Thank you so much, now hold my breath and cross my fingers while uploading a sketch ;-))
Hello Paul,
I also completed this tutorial and it was easier than I expected.
Counting forwards, only the even numbers, and counting backwards went fine.
Tomorrow, June 29, 2024, I will turn 67 and will enjoy my retirement, but from Monday the 1st of July I will continue with your tutorials again.
It's just great to follow it and participate.
I figured the countdown out OK but I stated "

Got it right away...so pleased as a 77-year-old. Great lesson & teaching style.
Great job!
I folded up like a cheap lawn chair, but then got it. I was thinking it would be more complicated than it actually was. Thanks again my friend!
Bam! This was easy to do because the last lesson covered "for loops" so very well. Excellent.
I figured it out by my self. At first the numbers ran bellow zero,then by making some different approaches it succeed. Very good way to let us try to do coding during the lesson.Thanks Poul
BOOM! Nailed it. And I didn’t even knock anything off the table!
probably one of the best tutors I have ever seen, thank you for being so simple and amazing
Love these video's! I'm an undergraduate mechanical engineering student and have been following along with my elego super kit, I make sure to watch all the way till the end. God bless you man!
I'm 40 and I love that you make these videos plz don't stop.. I just bought my kit! Thank you you are being watched!
That is awesome!
Counting backwards? Easy Peasy! Love these courses... especially the quizzes and homework.
Currently paused right before you fully explain the countdown from 10. I wasn't able to get the countdown from 10 until you said that it goes on forever then it clicked. I had to cut off the count at 1 so it changes "j" to greater than or equal to 1. Really inspires confidence.
I just wanted to say that you are the only source i have been using for learning the arduino and I am hooked. Thank you for being such an amazing teacher!
oh and i figured out the problem after a few mistakes :) was a great learning experience.

As a mechanical engineer who has no background in electronics, I'm thrilled with the stuff that you are discovering for us.
Keep up the good work
Had it working , first try, in just a few minutes on my own.
Did it and tried out using variables, worked a treat.
float j;
// Declaring j as a float
int start = 1;
// Declaring the variable "start" point
int finish = 25;
// Declaring the variable "finish" point
float countin = 0.2;
// Declaring "countin" the increase in number to count
int wait = 500;
// Declaring "wait" in millisecs
Thanks Paul you are doing a fantastic job on these tutorials .
I was able to figure it out. I love how you give us the knowledge and chance to do that.
Yes, worked the problems out. Recalling some of the stuff used in BASIC programming helps with concepts like "less than or equal to". Thanks again for these tutorials Paul.
I succesfully made it on my own at 13 years old. I do not think im smart. It is only because of you. Thank you.
Got it immediately, also love this tutorial, it is super informative and I went from knowing nothing about arduinos to actually understanding how to code it, and I'm only a quarter of the way through
I'm willing to bet that this series is the best arduino tutorial on the internet.
Great to hear!
I am very much enjoying this, and the fact that I was able to count back to zero and stopped at zero is testimony to the quality of the teaching, rather than my own innate ability. Thank you Paul.
Your way was better Paul. I used "for(j=10;j=1;j=j-1", with the same results. You can't be right and wrong at the same time, only okay and better!
Of course I figured it out. The first attempt didn't print anything. I only forgot to change the condition from j=10 and it worked. So you can be proud that I understood all you are trying to teach me.
I paused video and did indeed figure it out after only 3 unsuccessful attempts. I love this class. Cannot wait to get to Python language and code Arduino with it.

I have come across a shortcut for copying and pasting code. Instead of ctrl + C and ctrl + V, highlight the code you want to duplicate and hold down alt+shift+arrowdown, works like a charm. Thank you for the lessons!
Great to hear!
This is a thousand times better than the first series
I just waited for the answer. Its been a long wet workday my mind is tired. I do save notes and will go back and play around some more with this. Thank you Paul.

love the little homework assignment ahead of the lesson. For loops remind me of the Do loops we studied in Fortran some 40 years ago. Fun lesson.
Yes, I got it. A long time ago I was a better than decent programmer. Semi-retired Engineer, having fun with all the toys we didn't have when we were younger. I have done all the homework.

Here is the code I did for counting back to 0
int j;
int delayTime=500;
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
for(j=10;j>=0;j=j-1){
Serial.println(j);
delay(delayTime);
}
Serial.println();
}
Worked out the different counts. Paul you are a brilliant teacher, thank you.
I was handed an Arduino Mega last week as part of my internship with the instructions "figure it out". Thank you for your excellent instruction and review of what i may have previously learned!
Figured it out and am enjoying this series, which takes me back to my FORTRAN days in the early 70's. Keep them coming!
I had worked it out before you said, had a bit of fun playing with the parameters.
I was able to count backwards in the first attempt because I learned C++ in engineering school but watched the whole video because I love how you refresh everything for me and give useful tips with examples. You're my favorite teacher

I did get it on my own. Got the "j=10" and "j=j-1" parts went to about -50 . Tried "j>=1," took about 2 minutes to realize I had to reverse the ">" than sign...lol
I do love this tutorial and I just caught the Public Service Announcement for the robotics tutorial you started earlier this year, I believe I heard you say, I'll be "hooking a brother up" for that series when I get the funds gathered as well. keep them coming Brotha!!!
how EXOERT TEACHER is he !!! wonderful and i am learning so fast . Thank you Paul.
Thanks for the video, it was fun to play around with different possibilities that for loops have. I was able to make the counter count backwards easily, but I did expect it to go to zero, so it was somewhat surprising when it worked perfectly. Thanks and God bless.
Nice work!
Figured out the countdown, after first getting a row of negative counting.. Good teaching! I enjoy it!
Excellent!
This is the most wholesome series I have followed! amazing explanations... Greetings from a Danish having quarantine in Argentina
Every day a little smarter thanks to Paul McWorther! :)
I discovered this channel recently and loving the way you are teaching.
I am doing Arduino with my son to encourage him engineering and programming.
Good job Paul.
I figured out the 10 to 1 counter immediately, and I have almost no coding background :D Hats off to you and your excellent tutorials, Paul.
Great job!
Other than forgetting to change the less than to greater than first time through, I got it first go, you are a fantastic teacher!
Great job!
Yes, i figured out how to count backwards from 10. Its all about understanding the parameters. This is so useful, I already have some ideas on where I can use this to help simplify my codes moving forward. Plus, this is getting me excited. I feel like I'm learning quite quickly.
Yes I figured it out after 3 attempts. Interesting results on the way to success. That's how we learn.
Like many others, I worked out the different coding in order to get the different sequences. I learnt more from my mistakes that way. Thanks for a great tutorial, they make ME think instead of simply copying stuff. You copy, you think you know, but soon find out that you don't KNOW. Oh, and I must, I really must, get out of my new habit. BOOM. Every time my code runs for the first time....BOOM
As soon as I saw the negative integers come up I knew you had set us up for this. I quickly resolved it however not as simply as you did. I added to the less than or equal to 10 value with a greater than or equal to 1, basically giving the counter a top and bottom cap. I am loving your tutorials! On to 17!
you are actually really good at explaining things, I was able to figure it out within probably less than a minute
I know a little bit of Java so these for loops are super super easy. You are a great explainer as well.
I got the count back from 10 to 1 on the first try while you enjoyed the iced coffee. I even my breath and yelled BOOM! Thank you for these tutorials! I ordered the Elegoo kit and started at video 1. Learning something new everyday!
Paul is the greatest. Most getting started with arduino tutorials assume you are a 3rd year engineering student. I took a lot of programming classes in university and was first in class but that was 20 years ago and I've forgotten almost all of the the proper syntax because of some mental health issues from being in emergency services for years. I used to bet people money at parties that I could write pong on any pc in ten lines of code (command prompt
Fortunately, I did not fold up like a used lawn chair. Thanks, Paul!
I am learning so much from these video tutorials - and I am no longer scared of the very idea of programming! Thank you so much.
I'm proud of myself, I was able to get it to count backwards without you telling me how!
