    In this lesson we investigate use of IF statements in a practical arduino project example. We will read a voltage from a potentiometer, and then turn an LED on if the voltage is above 4 volts. We will learn the different conditional commands in the IF statement.
    You can get the following Elegoo kit, to follow these lessons and play along at home

      I'm a 66 year old retired engineering tech that worked in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. I can troubleshoot electronics down to the component level and can build anything using solid state devices or vacuum tubes but software has always been a weakness. I know the basics of Basic and C++ but this series has been a great stepping stone for filling in some of the holes in my software knowledge.

    Hi, Paul.I am 80 years old. I have worked with computers and electronics almost all my life. I have also served as a "tentmaker" minister all my life. I have been retired for almost 20yrs and wanted a hobby that would stimulate my mind. I settled on the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino. I already understand the electronics and can program in ASM, BASIC, FORTRAN, C++, and Python. I am still going through each lesson because I enjoy your style of teaching. Thanks for continuing to stimulate my mind.

    3 years later and still not talking to a wall! I am taking notes throughout each of your lessons and playing around with the assignments. You are a fantastic teacher. I work with children and want to teach myself and them about circuitry/robotics. I have experience working with web design but this course is by far the most fun I’ve had with anything programming/computer related. The tactile part of circuitry is really gratifying, and your way of slowing down to REALLY explain some of the physics is awesome.

    I am a 77 year old retired US Navy Missile Technician Chief Petty Officer. Served on four FBM submarines. Just started dabbling in Arduino. Looked at a lot of RUclipsrs trying to explain Arduino. Most not cutting it in my book. Your approach to teaching the "voodoo" involved in making an Arduino work is excellent. The "Old Guy" is actually starting to learn some of the "voodoo". Just finished lesson 13. Great work. Looking forward to the rest . . . .

    One time programmer, in the good old days. Really enjoying this series, and your style of delivery is just right for me. Having spent many years as a teacher in front of a class of people, I am continually impressed with your ability to treat the camera (s?) as a live audience, I assume that you are alone !
    Pace is great, as are the occasional pauses to sort out mistakes. You are one of a select group of utube educationalists who make learning both entertaining and challenging, avoiding tricks and showbiz .... I salute you all!!!

    I am a 64 year old retiree from the chemical industry. In college I majored in electrical engineering technology, but spent most of my career in power distribution and project management. At one time I programed PLC’s and enjoyed it. So to keep my brain function going in my retirement years, I decided to take up programming micro controllers like the Arduino. I purchased the kit, then discovered your video series. Love it. You do a great job explaining things. I build each of the projects as you explain them and do all of the homework which really helps me trouble shooting my programs. Of course my goal is to finish your series then do something useful with the arduino. Thank you so much for doing this series. Always looking forward to my next lesson.

    Hello, Paul. You were wondering whether anyone was watching your presentations and doing the homework. Well, I have just finished the homework. My potentiometer was a bit wobbly, so I had to reposition it. Then my logic was a little off. Finally, I wrote a v2 instead of a V2. All in all, very instructive. I think it took me about 45 minutes to complete. Thanks for the presentations. They are great.

    I'm a 53 yo with a strong background in electronics and BASIC programming. I have no experience with Arduino or C++ programming. I've been wanting an Arduino starter kit for some time now. I got in on a lightning deal for an Arduino starter kit (not the Elegoo kit, sadly) and I've been watching your videos as a refresher to electronic circuits and a primer to Arduino and Arduino programming. I, like you, want an electron/bit-level understanding of what's going on with things so I appreciate your in-depth approach. When my starter kit arrives in a couple of days I'll be ready to take it out of the package and immediately start building and programming. I've even gone ahead and installed the Arduino IDE. Thank you for giving me a solid start.

    Hi Paul, Really like this tutorials of yours. I am a 67 years old guy from Sweden and you make me look forward to every lesson. I have bought Elegloo´s "The Most Complete Starter Kit- UNO R3 Project" and I want to learn all the basics. I have some ideas what to do later on, but I have to understand all the magic when I learn how to set up the items and how to write the code so something wonderfull will happen. Arduino 2.0 is a little bit different than earlier versions, but that is not a big deal. However I have some problems today to understand the IF statements, so I have to work more with "and", "or" and all that stuff later on. I really look forward to work with tutorial number 14. Well, my hot choclate is also refreshing. Thank you Paul!

    I started writing Fortran code in 1966 and now occasionally use C# and Minitab's Macro coding language with if's, while, do loops etc. I remember acing my Electrical Engineering DC electronics class, then when faced with AC switched to Chemical Engineering. Have always used programming of some sort throughout the years. The combination of theory and hands on assembly and coding is very exciting and I'm enjoying it thoroughly . I successfully extended the homework to print different messages within each region, green - Safe Zone 0 to 4 volts, Yellow - Warning Zone 4 to 4.5 volts, Solid Red - Early Warning Zone 4.5 to 4.75 volts, and finally Blinking Red - Late Danger Zone greater than 4.75 volts.
    Thanks again for your great lessons.

    Hi Paul. I am a big fan of your videos. I am 22 years old and studying business economics, and I live in Brussels (Belgium). But I have a great passion for electronics and I just want to say thank you! May God bless you in various ways, both in this world and in the hereafter.

    I did it!!! I am referring to the homework regarding the 'IF' statements. It was a great challenge that I needed in which to build upon even more challenges. There were errors made and one was a struggle to determine if it was my coding or my breadboard circuit . After hours of rewriting the code and rewiring the breadboard many times and with a "strong dose" of persistence, I found the error. It simply involved turning on the yellow LED 'IF' statement correctly and then using exactly the same 'IF' statement to turn the the led off. So, I believe the LED never had a chance of lighting-up. Thanks for the challenge... I will not forget this in the future.

    Thank you so much for your tutorial Mr. McWhorter! I follow along with all your lessons and homework and keep notebook full of notes. I am 38 years old and am attending college for automation and electronics because it has always been an area of great interest to me. I appreciate what you do and I will be right here with you as long as you continue to put out these tutorials. God bless you

    I love how you take us by the hand and walk us through every step. To many people out there saying "Learn it here" have forgotten how much they know and don't pass along steps that essential to us Noobs, so we get lost almost Immediately. You are great at covering the basics essential to us. I'm learning and loving it.

    I am 68 years old and started dabbling in electronics after retirement with a view to getting my grandchildren interested in the 4th Industrial Revolution. So enjoying these lectures. Managed to do the homework and have my green, yellow and red LED's coming on and off at the designated voltages. If I had teachers during my school days with your capabilities Paul, I am sure my career path would have been very different.

    I've been watching your new series here from the beginning and following along, no coding experience.
    Thank you so much Paul I'm understanding and getting it and it feels empowering, god bless you and your kin you've opened me up to an entire new world. I'm 39 years old truck diagnostics and automotive electrical technician in Israel and now I'm diving into coding that'll be applicable to all these different requests from customers such as a warning buzzer if an engine overheats and things like that, so thank you Paul may God give you many more healthy blissful years. You the man.

    I'm glad my == "if" statement worked for me the first time. I thought I had exactly the same as yours, but turned out I didn't make the same mistake you did. It shows me that I'm not just copying you and I'm actually learning.

  • @hotchef1984
    @hotchef1984 2 года назад

    To be clear, the most important lessons I usually learn from your videos are when you end up debugging your own work. I'm learning all of this for the first time so seeing how to troubleshoot and diagnose problems with the code is what has made it possible for me to not rage quit when it stops working and I don't know what to do.

    Hi Paul
    At about 18:00 min into your lecture you told us about the curly brackets in the if statement and i saw a little homework for me to do. Turns out that if you press enter after you open the curly brackets, then the program enters the second curly bracket automatically as opposed to you moving your cursor with the mouse to the line below (then you will have to put in the curly bracket yourself). Also I love it when you purposely make mistakes, it keeps us all sharp to syntax.
