YES! Did the homework and my dog didn’t eat it. Had shoulder surgery and this is keeping me sane, well less crazy. Thank you. Off to make a 5 pin binary counter.
Hey, Paul! I did the homework from lesson 5 just fine and my parents were impressed with my work. I am a mechanical engineering student and I am using your Arduino tutorials to help me prepare over this summer for a microcontroller programming class in the fall. You are an amazing teacher! Thank you.
I didn't do the assignment because I assumed that I would be expected to use "while" with some "if" commands. I was stumped! Learning Arduino and electronics at 72. Coded in Cobol back when chariots were the best way to get around in Rome. Love your classes!
I've had zero experience with microcontrollers/programming and was able to jump right in and start the creative process...for under $50.00!! Where are you gonna get a better deal without having to steal something??
I used to get like this about drawing line diagrams for my electrical class. It was always sort of like a puzzle. Working on real circuits are so much more engaging though. I wish I started years ago!
I am not sure if you will see this comment, but here goes. You are thee best teacher I have had in my life. I hated school, and most structure learning programs for that matter; but your course on Arduino has been one of the most enjoyable and educational programs I have ever taken part in. Thank you for being one of those teachers that the world needs. Your lessons have touched more lives then you will ever know.
I haven't written a single line of code in almost 10 years. I can't wait for my super starter kit to arrive. I started programming in 1973 on an HP9000 mainframe using COBOL and BASIC. My last contract was with Intel in 2009 and I was using C++ & MFC. What a long strange trip it's been.
This is so fun and engaging. If you could take 43 year old me and toss me back in high school I would come out a rocket scientist. 15 year old me could have cared less about this stuff. I guess that's age and wisdom for you. Thanks a bunch for taking time out of your day Paul and creating this workshop!
Hi Paul You obviously want to "make a difference" and as a Christian since May 1956, I can tell you that you are doing that. Your first lessons were good, these are outstanding. If I had had a teacher like you I would probably not have flunked Maths at school. I have two objectives. I like to make stuff so the first objective is to add some "bells and whistles" to my current project that will probably take until the end of the year to finish. I have already learned enough to be able to do that. So thank you for that. The second objective is to use what you are teaching us to program an arduino to add functionality to a metal lathe I have converted to run using a CNC program. I am actually 10 years older that Paul from Brazil. I am in good health, an optimist and know that while other bits of us deteriorate with age, our brain can continue to function if we are prepared to stimulate it. Thank you Woodie
Was so excited when I found that my homework was completed correctly! This has easily been my favorite series of tutorials I've ever taken the time to follow. Thank you so much for your dedication to creating quality, informative content!
Paul, Thank you for the in depth lesson on the binary system. I appreciate the method of teaching because it helps me understand the content. I followed you first series of lessons up to the distance meter and plan to build a few of these for Christmas gifts this year. Looking forward to your next "new and improved" lesson.
I was SOOO excited to start these tutorials 6 weeks ago, I didn't make notes. By lesson 60, I started to regret that fact, so now I'm going through some of the more important lessons again so I can make notes, and testing whether I can do the homework without watching the next video first.
I have not encountered many individuals like you in my journey of learning. I must express my gratitude for your unmatched and invaluable teaching methods. Your videos have been of great help to me, and I recently discovered the ease of understanding things when approached with critical and logical thinking. With the aid of your videos and some Arduino and C manuals, I was able to solve the problem of adding an additional LED to my board and modifying what I had already done, which included the digits of 0 at 31. Thank you once again for your guidance and support. Although these videos are 4 years old, I have decided to watch them all and learn everything that's taught here.
i realize this is way late but if youre still prototyping tinker cad has a free digital board you can use for prototyping and has a digital version of all the components.. though you're probably a seasoned professional by now 4 years later lol.
I am a retiree and just interested in learning Arduino recently. Your tutorials are great. It is clear and easy to follow. I will keep on learning after these 6 lessons. Thank you very much.
You are really a very good teacher.. You know how to teach all level of student.. You are tremendous teacher... For me you are my guru ji for Arduino... I'll learn a lot from you.. God bless you sir..
Hi Pauil I am from the UK andf this is my first dabble with an Arduino and find your videos very professional, easy to follow and an excellent teaching tool. So far i have been able to complete the assignments however, when going through the Tutorial 6 on LED Binary Counter I really benefitted from your guidance on setting up components on the breadboard and taking a more structured approach. I really appreciate the time you have taken to deliver the Arduino video series and thank you for sharing.
Hi Paul, I was looking for a basic electronics kit for my grandson and stumbled onto your tutorials. I have always been fascinated by electronics but never had the time or resorce to look into the subject. I have now watched the first 6 of your tutorials and am getting really hooked. Ive not purchased a kit as yet, so have not been doing my homework either. (sorry) I am 7 years younger than Roberto from Brazil, so feel I am never too old to learn new stuff! I'm 68 and from Leicester England. My grandson is 5 so I shall wait a couple of years befor I introduce him to your very thorough and easy to understand tutorials. Thank you.
You explain this so well. It makes me happy that I’m gonna have a new hobby where was this kinda teaching in my robotics class? My High School has a robotics class and all we learned was to play with LEGOS, I feel like my school robbed me of building and being creative. instead we could have learned how to program and make the robots go. I’m so happy I finally found what I love.
Hello Paul, Being a professor my own self, I am even more relishing the way of your teaching :-). The pace is just fine, and my long-long mission of doing logics myself is taking its shape. Thanks. Yes, I could do the homework well before.
Everything is great. Honestly. When I bought my Arduino kit the other day, I was super overwhelmed with other tutorials. A lot of them operate on the pretense that we already have an understanding on how everything operates: a picture of the circuit is shown and the libraries/code are just imported and copy-pasted in. I love the way you've broken things down into simple, easy to understand (and easy to work with) information. I'm having so much fun experimenting with the homework concepts and applying what I know and what I've learnt from your lessons. Thank you.
I LOVE these lessons! I just switched from the electrician program at my local CC to digital electronics. I'm trying to prepare and get familiar with this stuff before my microprocessor/pcb class. Thank you so much! I watch each lesson then do the hw. Your lessons are cohesive, comprehensive, and very fun.
Hi Paul, at 76 I have decided to learn something new (i.e. arduino). Completed the homework but I used 5 led's instead and all worked as expected. Excellent lessons and thank you for the in depth explanations. Keep up the good work.
Sir you are the literally greatest teacher and trainer I have ever seen,you are the one with whom I am really learning something ever in my career,hope that I am lucky enough to meet you someday.
I took the homework and did my best to write the program trying to use integers to do the work for me and also make any changes easier. I actually found this very easy to do and didn't take as long as I thought it would. I looked forward to seeing if you were going to cover the homework so I could compare how you wrote your code. Some people have told me I got it backwards, but I wanted it to match the binary chart you drew out...counting right to left. I agree that we should do the homework on our own. Following along in my opinion, can kind of hamper your confidence and creativity in the future.
Hello Paul, I am Klaas (70) from the Netherlands and I appreciate your lessons very much. I'm back in school again! Doing the home work assignments even helps my brain to build new neural pathways! This seems to be the first tutorial where you go through the home work and that helps me to learn from my faults. I hope that you'll keep doing this. Thanks a lot!
Hi Paul, I used colored LED's and had an off cycle between each number. You are doing a great job and giving us the tools to do the homework. Thank you
Me, too. I used two delay variables; one for the on time, one for the off. To replicate Paul's code I just set the off delay to 0. Boom! 💥 Love these lesson
Hi Paul, I also did the homework from lesson 5 and pretty much did all the same stuff you did by accident, with the only exception being the naming of the 'int' and the lay out of the LEDs. These lessons are very helpful, easy to follow and are just a great way to wind down after a long day, thank you.
Fantastic lessons! My wife and I are following along together, writing our homework assignments independently, then comparing methodology to see what ideas really stuck out. Thank you very much for these videos!
Hi Paul! Your Lesson 5 was so excellent that I was able to do the homework on my own. I then “cleaned” it up as I followed along with you in Lesson 6. Still amazed at how exciting it is it turn a light on! Thank you for the great lessons.
Thanks Paul, These are sensational video's you have put together. Yes, I have been building as we go and so far all is working great. Thanks for putting together such an easy to follow presentation.
Paul, I didn't do the work ahead of this lesson, but watched all 6 tutorials, then built this. Thanks, you are clear and easy to understand. I'll be watching all your tutorials.
I too have completed this assignment and homework and found this course easy to follow. Just needed to watch it multiple times for all the fine details to stick in long-term memory. Thank you!!
Hi Paul, first I'd like to thank you for doing these tutorials! I've been a professional developer for almost 2 decades now so the programming is way too easy for me, but I'm following the tutorials to help me get a better understanding of the Arduino and what it can do. I did do the assignment before coming to this lesson and had no problems with it. I used a couple of for loops to spare me a load of copy-pasting :-) I do always like it when I'm learning something I get assignments to try and figure out for myself. You learn much more when you have to think about it instead of just following along with the video. A little tip about variable names, naming a variable pin2 (etc) might not be so useful. If you decide to switch to a different pin later, you have an incorrectly names variable that might be confusing. Better to name the variable for what the pin is used for.
Hey Paul! First of all thank you so much for the work you put into these tutorials. I found you on RUclips through a quick search and after watching your first tutorial I ordered my kit and jumped right in. Today is my second day and I just finished my LED binary counter. (I actually did mine as homework so I wired it differently on the breadboard and only did 1-10) but it turned out fantastic and worked perfectly the first time. I was so proud I posted it on facebook and snapchat ha ha. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for me to learn. PS: I always get a hot coffee when you say to grab an iced coffee. Hope you don't mind!
Love the lessons and really lovin the homework assignments. I have been able to follow along and finish all the homework assignments so far without making any mistakes in hardware or software. Your lessons are proving to be the most effective that I have found. Even my typing skills are greatly improving. I can't wait to get this homework assignment done and move on to the next lesson.
Hi Audio great. In answer to your question "nearly!". I am 60yrs old nearly! and learning this in lockdown. Excellent Paul but It may be some time before it sticks.
At 48, I am obviously much younger than you, but also decided that I was going to use all this free time to learn a new skill. I agree, as history major with a lifelong fear of math, I am finding these videos challenging enough that I am not getting bored, but manageable enough that I am not giving up.
Had to google how to connect LED to the ground, but completed the assignment from the previous video. Thank you very much for teaching us how the engineers think. All the best to you.
I am a retired avionics tech fcc and A/P mechanic for 43 years. I have done bench work and line work with electronics and have always wanted to learn deeper on the workings of the stuff I fixed. I know binary and many of the things your teaching but learning the Arduino and programing side you make it so easy to understand. I bought the mega kit and watching your videos will get me to the point of engineering digital experiments ive always wanted to do. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Hello there again, Chief! This is the code that I had written after you gave us the assignment last week, even before you uploaded this video. I intentionally kept the sets of the four commands in one line, using a full screen IDE, so that I has a visual impression of the binary counting. I hope it meets your approval. int oneLED = 7; int twoLED = 9; int threeLED = 11; int fourLED = 13; int wait = 1000; void setup() { pinMode(oneLED, OUTPUT); pinMode(twoLED, OUTPUT); pinMode(threeLED, OUTPUT); pinMode(fourLED, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(fourLED, LOW); digitalWrite(threeLED, LOW); digitalWrite(twoLED, LOW); digitalWrite(oneLED, LOW); // this is digit 0 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, LOW); digitalWrite(threeLED, LOW); digitalWrite(twoLED, LOW); digitalWrite(oneLED, HIGH); // this is digit 1 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, LOW); digitalWrite(threeLED, LOW); digitalWrite(twoLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(oneLED, LOW); // this is digit 2 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, LOW); digitalWrite(threeLED, LOW); digitalWrite(twoLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(oneLED, HIGH); // this is digit 3 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, LOW); digitalWrite(threeLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(twoLED, LOW); digitalWrite(oneLED, LOW); // this is digit 4 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, LOW); digitalWrite(threeLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(twoLED, LOW); digitalWrite(oneLED, HIGH); // this is digit 5 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, LOW); digitalWrite(threeLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(twoLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(oneLED, LOW); // this is digit 6 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, LOW); digitalWrite(threeLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(twoLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(oneLED, HIGH); // this is digit 7 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(threeLED, LOW); digitalWrite(twoLED, LOW); digitalWrite(oneLED, LOW); // this is digit 8 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(threeLED, LOW); digitalWrite(twoLED, LOW); digitalWrite(oneLED, HIGH); // this is digit 9 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(threeLED, LOW); digitalWrite(twoLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(oneLED, LOW); // this is digit 10 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(threeLED, LOW); digitalWrite(twoLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(oneLED, HIGH); // this is digit 11 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(threeLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(twoLED, LOW); digitalWrite(oneLED, LOW); // this is digit 12 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(threeLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(twoLED, LOW); digitalWrite(oneLED, HIGH); // this is digit 13 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(threeLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(twoLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(oneLED, LOW); // this is digit 14 delay(wait); digitalWrite(fourLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(threeLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(twoLED, HIGH); digitalWrite(oneLED, HIGH); // this is digit 15 delay(wait);
@@paulmcwhorter The fact that I know you read my comment makes this experience 100x better. Thank you again, my only regret is that I didn't find your channel sooner. Looking forward to many more lessons!
Hi Paul, I had a job to do with Arduino a couple of years ago so I subscribed then but I never actually sat down and watched your video's, I did the job back then which was getting some fish tank LED's to fade on over an hour stay on for the day then fade off in the evening. It worked great. Anyway I thought I would get back into Arduino as something as a hobby but I forgot most of it so I started watching your videos from the start and I have learnt so much already in these first six videos, I surprised myself when I noticed that you hadn't put the delay as an (int) :) as I had already done the homework and I had put it in as a (int). This proves your teaching method is working. Thank you so much for your time to make these videos, Great job !!
Just created this example in python. Just starting to code. List = [0,0,0,0] for i in range(15): for v in range(4): if List[3-v] == 0: List[3-v] = 1 break else: List[3-v] = 0 print(List)
Hey John, noob to UNO here. I didn't know you could use Python on Arduino IDE. Can you write Python code in the same IDE or do you install a different IDE? I know both languages but new to this hardware thing. Thank you very much.
I am learning Arduino for an engineering project in school. I appreciate you taking the time to make these, they are great for people just picking up this technology.
Great lesson. I did it on my own. One change I added a comment line in above each bank of write commands indicating the decimal version of the binary number . This made it clearer to understand the code . Thanks for great tutorials.
I honestly did it with the video, but I was ahead of your video and payed attention on parts where you were giving additional information and edited code as you recommended. I'm watching these videos even though I'm very comfortable with these concepts, but I have found you go further in depth on some subjects that most tutorials just graze over. I am finding these very helpful in knowing how things are working "under the hood" as you said. Thanks for these videos. PS I'm in Canada so HOT coffee is the beverage(Untill its time for a cold beer!).
I did this project as an assignment given by you in the previous lesson, so I was just rechecking the things via watching this video. I also completed the assignment you gave in this video, and it was so fun! Your production quality is just awesome. Thanks for the free lessons!
Completed the homework on my own and with success! Also paused the video before you explained and was able to do the binary counter on my own and it worked. You're a great teacher!
Programmed and built it! Some minor syntax snags but got it working in an hour. Thank you!!! I spent decades as a PCB layout designer, but you don't learn this stuff doing that. What I do have is immense familiarity with the discreet components. So much fun! I feel like a kid! LOL
Giving knowledge to the future generation of engineers....truly beautiful when you think about it. Words cannot explain how thankful we are for the time spent creating this series..god bless you
I did it along with you. I am just starting out and don't even know where to begin with your homework assignments. Your video is over 30 minutes long and you knew what you were going to do, imagine me trying to guess all day long how to go about it. I like the speed at which you teach, I'm able to keep up without having to pause too much.
It is ok if you can't finish the homework on your own. but you need to try to do it and if you can't then watch the solution or if there is no solution then just get help from us in the comments below the video, I am always here to help. When I was starting Arduino I was having trouble too, but I did not give up, I kept pushing, then it started to get easier for me. Samuel
Thank you, Paul - I have a model railroad I am trying to add crossing gates with lights using the Arduino, IR sensors, and relays. I am only on Tutorial 6 but I know this has already given me so much confidence. Can't wait to see more.
Hello Paul, I received an Arduino for my 49th birthday. I wanted to get into it because my daughter does cosplay and I wanted to be able to do lighting effects for her. Your lessons are so helpful. I was terrified of learning how to do this since I've NEVER done anything of the sort. I am so happy that I found your channel. IT IS AMAZING and I feel with a bit more work I'll be able to do anything my daughter asks of me. Thank you so much!
Hi Paul, I am thankful to you. I am from India and i am learning this programing for my Hobby. your way of teaching is great, you make programing and project so easy to understand.thank you again. i am following your videos.
I did the homework all on my own! It was a bit of a challenge but I was able to knock it out in about 45 minutes to an hour. I've learned so much so far and can't wait to learn even more! I'm addicted to arduino and it's capabilities. Can't wait to master this and move on to your raspberry pi lessons!!!
A year ago I stopped your tutorial series at halfway, but this week I decided to come back to your series and start all over. Thank you very much for this series, and I'm going to be finishing it this time!
A lot of this is a refresher for me. But even though I already "know" how to do most of it, the calm methodical way you present it really solidifies it in my mind. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Sir. Taking this time to teach us. Your instructions are so on the point and your assignment is just enough to understand what we are doing.
Hi Paul. After following the previous lesson, I was able to complete the homework without any issues. I never understood binary in too greater detail until I watched the previous lesson. I can't believe how easy it is once 1x ,2x, 4x, 8x, count was explained. It made so much more sense to me. So i just want to say huge thank you, I'm really loving your lessons. In the past whenever i tried to do code I could feel part of my brain dribble out of my ear hahaha but now I'm really starting to enjoy doing the coding. Take care, and stay safe :)
Was able to write it myself between videos thanks to the first lessons. Then watched and compared your method. Really enjoying your clarity of explanations and building of understanding rather than just what to do.
As an experienced teacher myself and as a Principal that has managed many probationary teachers, I can say with some authority that your lesson plan is well set out, your speed of deivery is just at the right pace, your tone of voice is reassuring, your knowledge level is obviously very high and the video presentation is outstanding. I am really enjoying being part of your class, thank you Paul.
Hi Paul from Scotland just started with ardunio trying to learn for my flight sim the way you teach i think is wonderful so easy to follow you thank you
Recently discovered this channel, just now going through the videos 1 by 1. They are great. You make this easy to understand. I was able to completely build the counter off your previous videos in this series. Cant wait to continue on. As I've seen others say, you are the "Bob Ross" of computer programming! Thanks a lot.
Hi Paul, your teaching is amazing! Ive just completed the homework for the LED clock 0-31, so clear and precise, taking the time to understand how things are actually working has made it so much easier, also the laying out of circuits, the use of the whole breadboard, the copy and paste tips. These are just so helpful!
Hello Paul, Utah guy here. Thank you for doing these lessons. I need all of them, and when you go over it, it is very helpful. Great production, I certainly relate to the ice coffee. Thank you, foman
Hi Paul. You are an amazing teacher. I do the homework on my own and then like to see how well I did when you go over it. Keep up the good tutorials. Thank you.
I was able to complete the assignment before watching this video (I even remembered to declare a variable for the delay :-)). My ground was done less efficiently but it still worked. This review is extremely valuable as a tool to learn where we may have gone wrong and what could have been done better, so many valuable tips (such as using the long ground row), I got an Arduino for Christmas from my wife so I could learn to teach our young daughters about electronic prototyping, programming and S.T.E.M in general when they get a little older (currently 4 & 1y.o). this has been tremendously helpful. thank you again Mr. McWhorter.
Hey Paul! Firstly, I love what youre doing! The videos are amazing and very educational! Secondly, in response to your question about how I went into this experiment. I am a senior in college studying computer engineering technology, however I am completely new to the Arduino so I came here! I understand a lot of what you speak about and after hearing the assignment from tutorial 5, I immediately knew what I had to do, but was HOPING there was a shorter way to do it with perhaps a programmed loop counter or a logic counter. So I continued onto here and watched how you did things (the long way) and said "dang it, I guess I'll go through with it" because I have absolute faith in your teaching lol I'll be going through most of this series during my Spring break to help me with my Senior project! Thanks again for sharing your vast knowledge!
For a newbie like me, i could do the last assignment myself and all thanks to you for your great teaching. You are one of the best teachers i have ever come across.
Hi Paul, I completed it before watching this video. I had it all working exactly the way you had. I am absolutely enjoying the sessions. Thanks so much.
Hi Paul! Thank you so much for putting these videos together. My 14 year old is following along and has been able to complete the homework you assign. Great job on your videos!
Dave here, this is great! just what I needed to get going.The first video I did see on youtube left me yawning, blinking light BFD. but this got me thinking and I finally started coming up with my own ideas. One of the things I considered was the blinking light code that you see on controller boards that tell you that there is a problem and where to find it. Then I thought I could make a much better traffic control system than what they have now and you wouldn't have cars sitting at lights when there is no traffic. Paul you've turned me into monster tinkerer with my fangs hanging all out at the ripe old age of 69. Good on you.
Hello Paul! Greeting from Myanmar. I am a beginner for Arduino Journey. Before, I never have experiences on Electronics but I am so happy to follow along with your series to the end. I really love your teaching style. Very easy to understand even someone who didn't know all about electronics before, just like me. Thank you so much Paul!
Paul, Absolutely fantastic series! I can't wait to see what is in the next. As a retired SW engineer, I used the power of loops and the '&' operator to shorten the code. for (int i=0; i
I tried doing the homework but was confused with how to set up the circuit with the increase in connections. Followed this tutorial step by step and was able to complete the 5-bit binary counter very easily! Thank you for making these tutorials clear and concise I'm new to arduino/coding and learning a lot.
The videos are top shelf, well thought out and professional, and the homework was literally a pain in the neck because of the repetition of the voidLoop program. The copy and paste shortcuts on an iMac are not the same as on Windows, however, got it just the same. and it was fun. I must say you are really making it quite understandable and enjoyable for a first timer ol' timer in coding. Always looking forward to the next lesson. You are the best, thank you!!!
Hi Paul, I am 52 years old and from South Africa, and your videos are great, I am using the R4 and love the challenge (homework) at the end of a session. I am a master electrician of trade and love PLC and playing with cool toys. Build an analog tester that we use in the medical environment, want to use Arduino to digitize the unit in the future.
High Paul. It is very impressive how you brake everything down to the very basic so that anyone can understand!! And then have fun! Congratulations to you about how you teach! Thanks.
Thanks for a brilliant lesson Paul. I've just completed this with your help and have learned loads of great new things in conjunction with the previous lesson in binary. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Paul! I am from Brazil, 74 years old and I am learning Arduino stuff as a Hobby! Your lesses are just great. Thank you so much!
olha só, mais um brasileiro por aqui! hehehehe
Welcome Ruberto. I am recently retired and was trained in electronics. This is fun to learn as well. Keeps me off the street and out of trouble!

olá! br por aqui também
u make me hate myself for being 18 and lazy. Thx for the motivation.
i am 4 years late. But i did my homework after every video and it was really easy for me after having watched your videos. thankyou so much
same
Same

YES! Did the homework and my dog didn’t eat it. Had shoulder surgery and this is keeping me sane, well less crazy. Thank you. Off to make a 5 pin binary counter.
Hey, Paul! I did the homework from lesson 5 just fine and my parents were impressed with my work. I am a mechanical engineering student and I am using your Arduino tutorials to help me prepare over this summer for a microcontroller programming class in the fall. You are an amazing teacher!

I’m a 70 year old retired Mechanical Engineer and this has been one of the most rewarding things I have done in a long time!!!!
I've had zero experience with microcontrollers/programming and was able to jump right in and start the creative process...for under $50.00!! Where are you gonna get a better deal without having to steal something??
I’m so proud that I did it on my own and worked nice. Never thought I’d ever like assignments.
Same lol
I used to get like this about drawing line diagrams for my electrical class. It was always sort of like a puzzle. Working on real circuits are so much more engaging though. I wish I started years ago!
I am not sure if you will see this comment, but here goes. You are thee best teacher I have had in my life. I hated school, and most structure learning programs for that matter; but your course on Arduino has been one of the most enjoyable and educational programs I have ever taken part in. Thank you for being one of those teachers that the world needs. Your lessons have touched more lives then you will ever know.
That is awesome!
I haven't written a single line of code in almost 10 years. I can't wait for my super starter kit to arrive. I started programming in 1973 on an HP9000 mainframe using COBOL and BASIC. My last contract was with Intel in 2009 and I was using C++ & MFC. What a long strange trip it's been.
Wow! Glad to meet another mainframer!
@@avhijitnair409 Me too!
This is so fun and engaging. If you could take 43 year old me and toss me back in high school I would come out a rocket scientist. 15 year old me could have cared less about this stuff. I guess that's age and wisdom for you. Thanks a bunch for taking time out of your day Paul and creating this workshop!
Man, you and me both!!! I would know a whole lot more math and physics. That would have been 50 years ago.
I'm 38 and I also tell people that if I were to redo highschool now, I will be 1024x more productive than what I was at the age of 14. 😎
Hi Paul
You obviously want to "make a difference" and as a Christian since May 1956, I can tell you that you are doing that.
Your first lessons were good, these are outstanding. If I had had a teacher like you I would probably not have flunked Maths at school.
I have two objectives. I like to make stuff so the first objective is to add some "bells and whistles" to my current project that will probably take until the end of the year to finish. I have already learned enough to be able to do that. So thank you for that.
The second objective is to use what you are teaching us to program an arduino to add functionality to a metal lathe I have converted to run using a CNC program.
I am actually 10 years older that Paul from Brazil. I am in good health, an optimist and know that while other bits of us deteriorate with age, our brain can continue to function if we are prepared to stimulate it.
Thank you Woodie
Was so excited when I found that my homework was completed correctly! This has easily been my favorite series of tutorials I've ever taken the time to follow.
Thank you so much for your dedication to creating quality, informative content!
i am a old repairman (66). i am really enjoying your tutorials. Your homework is really challenging my brain to stay active. Thank you
Paul, Thank you for the in depth lesson on the binary system. I appreciate the method of teaching because it helps me understand the content. I followed you first series of lessons up to the distance meter and plan to build a few of these for Christmas gifts this year. Looking forward to your next "new and improved" lesson.
I was SOOO excited to start these tutorials 6 weeks ago, I didn't make notes. By lesson 60, I started to regret that fact, so now I'm going through some of the more important lessons again so I can make notes, and testing whether I can do the homework without watching the next video first.
I have not encountered many individuals like you in my journey of learning. I must express my gratitude for your unmatched and invaluable teaching methods. Your videos have been of great help to me, and I recently discovered the ease of understanding things when approached with critical and logical thinking. With the aid of your videos and some Arduino and C manuals, I was able to solve the problem of adding an additional LED to my board and modifying what I had already done, which included the digits of 0 at 31. Thank you once again for your guidance and support. Although these videos are 4 years old, I have decided to watch them all and learn everything that's taught here.
Thanks Paul for the tutorial. I am learning a lot from you even if I don’t have the Arduino kit yet.
i realize this is way late but if youre still prototyping tinker cad has a free digital board you can use for prototyping and has a digital version of all the components.. though you're probably a seasoned professional by now 4 years later lol.
I am a retiree and just interested in learning Arduino recently. Your tutorials are great. It is clear and easy to follow. I will keep on learning after these 6 lessons. Thank you very much.
You are really a very good teacher.. You know how to teach all level of student.. You are tremendous teacher... For me you are my guru ji for Arduino... I'll learn a lot from you..
God bless you sir..
Hi Pauil I am from the UK andf this is my first dabble with an Arduino and find your videos very professional, easy to follow and an excellent teaching tool. So far i have been able to complete the assignments however, when going through the Tutorial 6 on LED Binary Counter I really benefitted from your guidance on setting up components on the breadboard and taking a more structured approach. I really appreciate the time you have taken to deliver the Arduino video series and thank you for sharing.
Hi Paul, I was looking for a basic electronics kit for my grandson and stumbled onto your tutorials. I have always been fascinated by electronics but never had the time or resorce to look into the subject. I have now watched the first 6 of your tutorials and am getting really hooked. Ive not purchased a kit as yet, so have not been doing my homework either. (sorry) I am 7 years younger than Roberto from Brazil, so feel I am never too old to learn new stuff! I'm 68 and from Leicester England. My grandson is 5 so I shall wait a couple of years befor I introduce him to your very thorough and easy to understand tutorials. Thank you.
You explain this so well. It makes me happy that I’m gonna have a new hobby where was this kinda teaching in my robotics class? My High School has a robotics class and all we learned was to play with LEGOS, I feel like my school robbed me of building and being creative. instead we could have learned how to program and make the robots go. I’m so happy I finally found what I love.
Hello Paul, Being a professor my own self, I am even more relishing the way of your teaching :-). The pace is just fine, and my long-long mission of doing logics myself is taking its shape. Thanks.
Yes, I could do the homework well before.
Everything is great. Honestly. When I bought my Arduino kit the other day, I was super overwhelmed with other tutorials. A lot of them operate on the pretense that we already have an understanding on how everything operates: a picture of the circuit is shown and the libraries/code are just imported and copy-pasted in. I love the way you've broken things down into simple, easy to understand (and easy to work with) information. I'm having so much fun experimenting with the homework concepts and applying what I know and what I've learnt from your lessons. Thank you.
And keep going . . . lets see you make it all the way through lesson 68
I LOVE these lessons! I just switched from the electrician program at my local CC to digital electronics. I'm trying to prepare and get familiar with this stuff before my microprocessor/pcb class. Thank you so much! I watch each lesson then do the hw. Your lessons are cohesive, comprehensive, and very fun.
Hi Paul, at 76 I have decided to learn something new (i.e. arduino). Completed the homework but I used 5 led's instead and all worked as expected. Excellent lessons and thank you for the in depth explanations. Keep up the good work.
that's very impressive props to you
Sir you are the literally greatest teacher and trainer I have ever seen,you are the one with whom I am really learning something ever in my career,hope that I am lucky enough to meet you someday.
I took the homework and did my best to write the program trying to use integers to do the work for me and also make any changes easier. I actually found this very easy to do and didn't take as long as I thought it would. I looked forward to seeing if you were going to cover the homework so I could compare how you wrote your code. Some people have told me I got it backwards, but I wanted it to match the binary chart you drew out...counting right to left. I agree that we should do the homework on our own. Following along in my opinion, can kind of hamper your confidence and creativity in the future.
Hello Paul, I am Klaas (70) from the Netherlands and I appreciate your lessons very much. I'm back in school again! Doing the home work assignments even helps my brain to build new neural pathways! This seems to be the first tutorial where you go through the home work and that helps me to learn from my faults. I hope that you'll keep doing this. Thanks a lot!
Hi Paul, I used colored LED's and had an off cycle between each number. You are doing a great job and giving us the tools to do the homework. Thank you
I ended out doing the exact same thing :D
Me, too. I used two delay variables; one for the on time, one for the off. To replicate Paul's code I just set the off delay to 0. Boom! 💥
Love these lesson
I think you're doing a great job teaching. Really well paced for me to absorb the information. I was able to do the homework on my own.
Hi Paul, I also did the homework from lesson 5 and pretty much did all the same stuff you did by accident, with the only exception being the naming of the 'int' and the lay out of the LEDs. These lessons are very helpful, easy to follow and are just a great way to wind down after a long day, thank you.
Love the homework assignments. I used different Christmas colors to make it a bit more into the season. Can't wait for the next lesson!
I am really young and I’m learning a lot thank you for being the best teacher ever!!👍🏼 Keep Up The Good Work
Also I did all the homework perfectly
@NadaAlouat I am young aswell aged 19
Fantastic lessons! My wife and I are following along together, writing our homework assignments independently, then comparing methodology to see what ideas really stuck out. Thank you very much for these videos!
The family that codes together stays together. God bless.
this is a great idea. i love it. good for team work and learning.
Hello Paul ! Late to the party but Im in Vegas, 67 and newly retired, following a passion. Thank you so much for the classes! Your a great teacher!
Hi Paul! Your Lesson 5 was so excellent that I was able to do the homework on my own. I then “cleaned” it up as I followed along with you in Lesson 6. Still amazed at how exciting it is it turn a light on! Thank you for the great lessons.
Thanks Paul, These are sensational video's you have put together. Yes, I have been building as we go and so far all is working great. Thanks for putting together such an easy to follow presentation.
Hi Paul! I'm 13 and I really love your content! all of your videos are super easy to follow so I just wanted to say thank you!
Paul, I didn't do the work ahead of this lesson, but watched all 6 tutorials, then built this. Thanks, you are clear and easy to understand. I'll be watching all your tutorials.
I too have completed this assignment and homework and found this course easy to follow. Just needed to watch it multiple times for all the fine details to stick in long-term memory. Thank you!!
Hi Paul, first I'd like to thank you for doing these tutorials! I've been a professional developer for almost 2 decades now so the programming is way too easy for me, but I'm following the tutorials to help me get a better understanding of the Arduino and what it can do.
I did do the assignment before coming to this lesson and had no problems with it. I used a couple of for loops to spare me a load of copy-pasting :-) I do always like it when I'm learning something I get assignments to try and figure out for myself. You learn much more when you have to think about it instead of just following along with the video.
A little tip about variable names, naming a variable pin2 (etc) might not be so useful. If you decide to switch to a different pin later, you have an incorrectly names variable that might be confusing. Better to name the variable for what the pin is used for.
Your videos are making my lockdown period productive.💖💖
Hi Paul. Two days following your lessons. I'm so excited and I feel like rewind my years back to 25.
Hey Paul! First of all thank you so much for the work you put into these tutorials. I found you on RUclips through a quick search and after watching your first tutorial I ordered my kit and jumped right in. Today is my second day and I just finished my LED binary counter. (I actually did mine as homework so I wired it differently on the breadboard and only did 1-10) but it turned out fantastic and worked perfectly the first time. I was so proud I posted it on facebook and snapchat ha ha. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for me to learn. PS: I always get a hot coffee when you say to grab an iced coffee. Hope you don't mind!
Love the lessons and really lovin the homework assignments. I have been able to follow along and finish all the homework assignments so far without making any mistakes in hardware or software. Your lessons are proving to be the most effective that I have found. Even my typing skills are greatly improving. I can't wait to get this homework assignment done and move on to the next lesson.
Wonderful!
Hi Audio great. In answer to your question "nearly!". I am 60yrs old nearly! and learning this in lockdown. Excellent Paul but It may be some time before it sticks.
nice
At 48, I am obviously much younger than you, but also decided that I was going to use all this free time to learn a new skill. I agree, as history major with a lifelong fear of math, I am finding these videos challenging enough that I am not getting bored, but manageable enough that I am not giving up.
woof woof,from another old dog
@@graemeallan54 🤣 after 40 years u too will become an old dog
I’m 12 and I’m learning it in lockdown
Had to google how to connect LED to the ground, but completed the assignment from the previous video. Thank you very much for teaching us how the engineers think. All the best to you.
I am a retired avionics tech fcc and A/P mechanic for 43 years. I have done bench work and line work with electronics and have always wanted to learn deeper on the workings of the stuff I fixed. I know binary and many of the things your teaching but learning the Arduino and programing side you make it so easy to understand. I bought the mega kit and watching your videos will get me to the point of engineering digital experiments ive always wanted to do. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Great to hear this! Love to hear people are actually learning from these classes.
Hello there again, Chief!
This is the code that I had written after you gave us the assignment last week, even before you uploaded this video. I intentionally kept the sets of the four commands in one line, using a full screen IDE, so that I has a visual impression of the binary counting.
I hope it meets your approval.

int twoLED = 9;
int threeLED = 11;
int fourLED = 13;
int wait = 1000;

pinMode(twoLED, OUTPUT);
pinMode(threeLED, OUTPUT);
pinMode(fourLED, OUTPUT);

Well done!
@@paulmcwhorter Thanks Teach!
Yes sir, I did my home work and it work perfectly like yours thanks so much........
Well done!
I have been watching along and copying your notes for 8 hours. You are the greatest teacher of all time. Thank you for taking the time to teach!
Glad you like them!
@@paulmcwhorter The fact that I know you read my comment makes this experience 100x better. Thank you again, my only regret is that I didn't find your channel sooner. Looking forward to many more lessons!
Hi Paul, I had a job to do with Arduino a couple of years ago so I subscribed then but I never actually sat down and watched your video's, I did the job back then which was getting some fish tank LED's to fade on over an hour stay on for the day then fade off in the evening. It worked great. Anyway I thought I would get back into Arduino as something as a hobby but I forgot most of it so I started watching your videos from the start and I have learnt so much already in these first six videos, I surprised myself when I noticed that you hadn't put the delay as an (int) :) as I had already done the homework and I had put it in as a (int). This proves your teaching method is working. Thank you so much for your time to make these videos, Great job !!
I am your student you just teach us ausome stuff thank you sir
abe sale, tu yaha bhi😂😂😂😂😂
Just created this example in python. Just starting to code.
List = [0,0,0,0]
for i in range(15):
for v in range(4):
if List[3-v] == 0:
List[3-v] = 1
break
else:
List[3-v] = 0
print(List)
Hey John, noob to UNO here. I didn't know you could use Python on Arduino IDE. Can you write Python code in the same IDE or do you install a different IDE? I know both languages but new to this hardware thing. Thank you very much.
@@flyingsalmon Uh. I think it's just an example, I don't think he's interfacing with arduino
I am learning Arduino for an engineering project in school. I appreciate you taking the time to make these, they are great for people just picking up this technology.
Great lesson. I did it on my own. One change I added a comment line in above each bank of write commands indicating the decimal version of the binary number . This made it clearer to understand the code . Thanks for great tutorials.
0:05 he looks so excited
I have successfully completed my homework.
I honestly did it with the video, but I was ahead of your video and payed attention on parts where you were giving additional information and edited code as you recommended. I'm watching these videos even though I'm very comfortable with these concepts, but I have found you go further in depth on some subjects that most tutorials just graze over. I am finding these very helpful in knowing how things are working "under the hood" as you said.
Thanks for these videos.
PS I'm in Canada so HOT coffee is the beverage(Untill its time for a cold beer!).
Listened to Lesson 1 to 7 . Then restarted and yes I am able to build the Binary Counter and write the program. Your work is on the mark. Thanks.
I set up variables:
int on=HIGH;
int off=LOW;
I did this project as an assignment given by you in the previous lesson, so I was just rechecking the things via watching this video. I also completed the assignment you gave in this video, and it was so fun! Your production quality is just awesome. Thanks for the free lessons!
Great job!
Completed the homework on my own and with success! Also paused the video before you explained and was able to do the binary counter on my own and it worked. You're a great teacher!
Programmed and built it! Some minor syntax snags but got it working in an hour. Thank you!!! I spent decades as a PCB layout designer, but you don't learn this stuff doing that. What I do have is immense familiarity with the discreet components. So much fun! I feel like a kid! LOL
Giving knowledge to the future generation of engineers....truly beautiful when you think about it. Words cannot explain how thankful we are for the time spent creating this series..god bless you
I did it along with you. I am just starting out and don't even know where to begin with your homework assignments. Your video is over 30 minutes long and you knew what you were going to do, imagine me trying to guess all day long how to go about it. I like the speed at which you teach, I'm able to keep up without having to pause too much.
It is ok if you can't finish the homework on your own. but you need to try to do it and if you can't then watch the solution or if there is no solution then just get help from us in the comments below the video, I am always here to help. When I was starting Arduino I was having trouble too, but I did not give up, I kept pushing, then it started to get easier for me.
Samuel
Thank you, Paul - I have a model railroad I am trying to add crossing gates with lights using the Arduino, IR sensors, and relays. I am only on Tutorial 6 but I know this has already given me so much confidence. Can't wait to see more.
Did the homework on my own and i am super grateful for the lessons you provide us! Production value is top quality in 2022!
Hi Paul, These tutorials are great! I couldn't do it without them. Thank you for the training. Ray
Hello Paul, I received an Arduino for my 49th birthday. I wanted to get into it because my daughter does cosplay and I wanted to be able to do lighting effects for her. Your lessons are so helpful. I was terrified of learning how to do this since I've NEVER done anything of the sort. I am so happy that I found your channel. IT IS AMAZING and I feel with a bit more work I'll be able to do anything my daughter asks of me. Thank you so much!
Another great lesson Paul, I have been an IT Tech for over 20 years and I finally understand Binary. Great Job.
Thank you so much! I had to make one of these for a class and had a lot of confusion about the coding aspect and this was very helpful!
Hi Paul, I am thankful to you. I am from India and i am learning this programing for my Hobby. your way of teaching is great, you make programing and project so easy to understand.thank you again. i am following your videos.
I did the homework all on my own! It was a bit of a challenge but I was able to knock it out in about 45 minutes to an hour. I've learned so much so far and can't wait to learn even more! I'm addicted to arduino and it's capabilities. Can't wait to master this and move on to your raspberry pi lessons!!!
A year ago I stopped your tutorial series at halfway, but this week I decided to come back to your series and start all over. Thank you very much for this series, and I'm going to be finishing it this time!
Have fun!
A lot of this is a refresher for me. But even though I already "know" how to do most of it, the calm methodical way you present it really solidifies it in my mind. Thank you.
Wonderful!
Thank you so much, Sir. Taking this time to teach us. Your instructions are so on the point and your assignment is just enough to understand what we are doing.
Hi Paul. After following the previous lesson, I was able to complete the homework without any issues. I never understood binary in too greater detail until I watched the previous lesson. I can't believe how easy it is once 1x ,2x, 4x, 8x, count was explained. It made so much more sense to me. So i just want to say huge thank you, I'm really loving your lessons. In the past whenever i tried to do code I could feel part of my brain dribble out of my ear hahaha but now I'm really starting to enjoy doing the coding. Take care, and stay safe :)
Was able to write it myself between videos thanks to the first lessons. Then watched and compared your method. Really enjoying your clarity of explanations and building of understanding rather than just what to do.
Fantastic!
As an experienced teacher myself and as a Principal that has managed many probationary teachers, I can say with some authority that your lesson plan is well set out, your speed of deivery is just at the right pace, your tone of voice is reassuring, your knowledge level is obviously very high and the video presentation is outstanding. I am really enjoying being part of your class, thank you Paul.
Hi Paul from Scotland just started with ardunio trying to learn for my flight sim the way you teach i think is wonderful so easy to follow you thank you
Recently discovered this channel, just now going through the videos 1 by 1. They are great. You make this easy to understand. I was able to completely build the counter off your previous videos in this series. Cant wait to continue on. As I've seen others say, you are the "Bob Ross" of computer programming! Thanks a lot.
Awesome, thank you!
Hi Paul, your teaching is amazing! Ive just completed the homework for the LED clock 0-31, so clear and precise, taking the time to understand how things are actually working has made it so much easier, also the laying out of circuits, the use of the whole breadboard, the copy and paste tips. These are just so helpful!
Hello Paul, Utah guy here. Thank you for doing these lessons. I need all of them, and when you go over it, it is very helpful. Great production, I certainly relate to the ice coffee. Thank you, foman
Hi Paul. You are an amazing teacher. I do the homework on my own and then like to see how well I did when you go over it. Keep up the good tutorials. Thank you.
These lessons are the perfect speed for beginners. Thanks for the time you put in.
I was able to complete the assignment before watching this video (I even remembered to declare a variable for the delay :-)). My ground was done less efficiently but it still worked. This review is extremely valuable as a tool to learn where we may have gone wrong and what could have been done better, so many valuable tips (such as using the long ground row), I got an Arduino for Christmas from my wife so I could learn to teach our young daughters about electronic prototyping, programming and S.T.E.M in general when they get a little older (currently 4 & 1y.o). this has been tremendously helpful. thank you again Mr. McWhorter.
Hey Paul! Firstly, I love what youre doing! The videos are amazing and very educational!
Secondly, in response to your question about how I went into this experiment. I am a senior in college studying computer engineering technology, however I am completely new to the Arduino so I came here! I understand a lot of what you speak about and after hearing the assignment from tutorial 5, I immediately knew what I had to do, but was HOPING there was a shorter way to do it with perhaps a programmed loop counter or a logic counter. So I continued onto here and watched how you did things (the long way) and said "dang it, I guess I'll go through with it" because I have absolute faith in your teaching lol
I'll be going through most of this series during my Spring break to help me with my Senior project! Thanks again for sharing your vast knowledge!
For a newbie like me, i could do the last assignment myself and all thanks to you for your great teaching.
You are one of the best teachers i have ever come across.
Excellent!
Hi Paul,
I completed it before watching this video. I had it all working exactly the way you had. I am absolutely enjoying the sessions. Thanks so much.
Hi Paul! Thank you so much for putting these videos together. My 14 year old is following along and has been able to complete the homework you assign. Great job on your videos!
Dave here, this is great! just what I needed to get going.The first video I did see on youtube left me yawning, blinking light BFD. but this got me thinking and I finally started coming up with my own ideas. One of the things I considered was the blinking light code that you see on controller boards that tell you that there is a problem and where to find it. Then I thought I could make a much better traffic control system than what they have now and you wouldn't have cars sitting at lights when there is no traffic. Paul you've turned me into monster tinkerer with my fangs hanging all out at the ripe old age of 69. Good on you.
Hello Paul! Greeting from Myanmar. I am a beginner for Arduino Journey. Before, I never have experiences on Electronics but I am so happy to follow along with your series to the end. I really love your teaching style. Very easy to understand even someone who didn't know all about electronics before, just like me. Thank you so much Paul!
Paul,
Absolutely fantastic series!
I can't wait to see what is in the next.
As a retired SW engineer, I used the power of loops and the '&' operator to shorten the code.
for (int i=0; i
I actually made a 4-bit, 5-bit, 6-bit then 7-bit binary counter! you've taught me so much about arduinos!
7-bit had to be a pain to program
I tried doing the homework but was confused with how to set up the circuit with the increase in connections. Followed this tutorial step by step and was able to complete the 5-bit binary counter very easily! Thank you for making these tutorials clear and concise I'm new to arduino/coding and learning a lot.
The videos are top shelf, well thought out and professional, and the homework was literally a pain in the neck because of the repetition of the voidLoop program. The copy and paste shortcuts on an iMac are not the same as on Windows, however, got it just the same. and it was fun. I must say you are really making it quite understandable and enjoyable for a first timer ol' timer in coding. Always looking forward to the next lesson. You are the best, thank you!!!
Hi Paul, I am 52 years old and from South Africa, and your videos are great, I am using the R4 and love the challenge (homework) at the end of a session. I am a master electrician of trade and love PLC and playing with cool toys. Build an analog tester that we use in the medical environment, want to use Arduino to digitize the unit in the future.
High Paul.
It is very impressive how you brake everything down to the very basic so that anyone can understand!! And then have fun! Congratulations to you about how you teach! Thanks.
Thanks for a brilliant lesson Paul. I've just completed this with your help and have learned loads of great new things in conjunction with the previous lesson in binary.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
