I’m working on developing my kit car. In the last 12 months I have had to learn 3D design and printing, electronics and a new programming language. Did I say I am now 70. The day I stop wanting to learn will be the day I start to die.
Antony. Add to that list, making split fibre glass mounds, and working in fibre glass and carbon fibre. I don’t seem to be able to find what I want so I end up making my own. The latest job was designing, printing and assembling a second diffuser wing. The back of the car has always got very dirty. The new wing is filth and covered in sand and other debris but the back of the car is clean.
This is an extremely important video because it solves a universal problem: the need to know the basics of a dicipline. Nicely done. Thank you. I now have the understanding and confidence to move forward. You should feel good that you made a difference in someone's life.
As the vid is intended for inexperienced viewers it is never too early to learn good habits and always too early to learn bad. However may I say the vid is clear, well presented, free of inappropriate pauses and errs. I hope to follow any more you do as I hope to never stop learning. Mick
Thanks Mick, I understand what you mean. Like yourself, I will never stop learning - my knowledge will only increase. For the past 14 months, I've spent roughly 9hrs a week learning electronics. I'm still a beginner myself. :-)
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. I finally decided to get me an arduino nano to play with, and I haven't done any kind of programming for over 20 years. This nice quick tutorial got me right back into the swing of things and up and running fast. Thanks for your time!
Thank you! Useful tutorial for a beginner like me. I bought my first arduino today just for hobby. Followed your tutorial and got it to work. Feels good.
47Ω resistor is extremely rare for us. But we widely use resistors like 1kΩ for LEDs. But resistance is not calculated like that. Here's a formula of getting resistance for LEDs. Forward voltage of LEDs vary from one another. When it comes to yellow, Forward voltage = 2V Forward current = 20mA Minimum resistance required can be calculated like this, R=(Source voltage-Forward voltage)/(Forward current) Source voltage can be varied. If you're using 12V and when the resistance is lower than what it needs, the LED will be burned. Note: The lower the resistance of an LEDs, the brighter the light and the lower its lifetime.
I just got the MO pro with little knowledge of what it is, now that I have a general idea I'm really intrigued, I cant wait to think things up to make with it. Thank you for this video.
Superb introduction for beginners. Thank you for covering this with a very clear explanation. It's going to help lots of people, like me, to get started.
Wonderfully clear, straightforward explanation for absolute beginners. I liked your explanation of why the resistor was necessary, many people would have been asking themselves that and you explained it for them. You have a new subscriber😄
Thank u so much! I’ve been through so many different videos but they don’t really help with the port connection like u did. I was struggling with that, and then u helped me write out the most basic possible program! I couldn’t thank u enough!
ive been seeing alot of these videos where they use the breadboard to keep the pins in line for proper socket fitting thank you for the video i just got my in the mail
Hahha nice job! Especially when you asked permission to an autorized person... ;) nice video helped me a lot, couldn’t find any good videos about this suitable for me!
Great stuff, done alto of programming when i was a kid from like 5 year old this brings back memory's sadly I quit all this and have not touched it in 25 years now. Time to use this lockdown to my advantage. I'll learn a bit more first though.
Thank you vey much ! I juste receive a bunch of Arduino Nano and I was not successfull with a test program so I did not know if they whre good or not. I just did as you explained and it work perfectly so now I can be more serious about it. You are right, they are not costly so it's perfect for little project.
I think the dead simplest arduino to start with is the uno. But yeah the nano holds new peoples hands juuuust a little bit less, usually with power. So it's got the most 'reward' once you mount the learning curve.
Thanks for this great video. Just wondering how the breadboard is getting power to the positive and negative rail? It must be coming from the USB connection I assume because I don't see a battery. If so, dies it matter what row you plug the nano into?

I can see what you're trying to do but personally I would recommend an uno for an absolute beginner as it's ready to go with no soldering. Just wondering why you say you must get a yellow LED. So good so job though so. 😉
Some dealers do have presoldered nano. Uno is good when you just want to Connect one or two things. Anything more, its best uh go with nano+breadboard. Not to mention for some sensor you usually use a breadboard anyways. So why use an uno
@@ahmedansari6827 I was thinking the same xD I have to do a project for college with Arduino and we were using the Arduino UNO for it. However, I saw that I was getting too tight with the Arduino UNO so I decided to buy the nano one
Yes, it's arguable. Some say Uno is better for a beginner. I still say Nano, mainly because the the price. Yellow, I haven't watched the video but it's most likely because I've matches a resistor to it or something.
@@rafaelconstanzovicens9094 :) ull nvr regret a nano! For my prototyping I use an original Arduino Nano Every. It has a different chip but can 'emulate' the chip of Nano/Uno. I dont make permanent stuff much. But Nano would do. But I was thining a tht version of the chip only will suffice for my permanent projects
Hi thanks for the good video. I am a bigginer and try to use arduino. I have a question on your video. You define pin2 as output. now my question is how do you know that D2 pin is number 2？ can i just ignore "D"? On arduino UNO, there are pin numbers printed on boad which nano don't show...
very useful thank you im just getting into this hobby im trying to make a gameboy with a arduino micro controller connected to the pi shouldnt be too hard i hope you have taught me how they work thank you
Antony, get a new tip for your soldering iron, it's corroded to hell. Never let the air get on your soldering iron tip. Melt a ball of solder onto it and turn it off with the ball there when you're done. Clean the tip after every couple pins with a wet sponge. Use good rosin core solder. Kester 60 tin 40 lead
I don´t know what on earth im doing wrong.. sitting here since 3 hours, initially trying to connect an OLED display. Now just trying to get an LED flashing, but NOTHING. Arduino L-LED blinking red all time, PWR-LED green stady color. When uploading the code, the L-LED stops for 2 seconds and the RX-LED goes on just a little without doing anything else and then getting back to normal Arduino LED-disco. Feel like throwing everything out of the window!
@@wvo2m No the reset button will just restart your code as if it hasn’t run before. It will run the initialisation part of the code again then go into the loop or cyclic part of the code. Once you have a new sketch or modifications to code that your developing it must be checked by the compiler first before uploading. It will rewrite itself over your existing code. If it doesn’t upload for one reason or another, the existing code will not be modified. I hope that makes sense. 🤞
Good information how to program the Arduino and i like it as i do not know much on programming but the thing that i have is that i think the programming software is not the same as i try to make this simple program but it is not working and i follow every step on your clip.
Great tutorial Anthony, but i got question tho, when u said the conductor on breadboard is connected along the line, so by inserting the arduino pin out along the line, that means all the pin out will be connected with each other?
I'm very close to snapping my board in half. nothing that I input seems to actually work. It has the dumbest error messages and nothing is helping me fix it. I've copied literally everything in this video and the thing still wont work
Hello Antony, I am a COMPLETE LEARNER, i have copied from another UTUBE a Sketch to a UNO, but everyone says I should get a Nano. I have this Sketch that will work to get some Sensors and LEDS(RGY) and have been waiting for more Unos to setup to run to operate some BLOCKS, I am going to try and take out the Wires from my UNO and place them in a My Nano. will be back later Thanks
I don't have soldering skill. For education purpose,Is it possible to use Arduino Nano on breadboard without soldering it? (push pin in the breadboard,align the holes, lay the nano onto it and connect wires to it)
I’m trying to build my own mtb light for night riding, I’m struggling to find a controller that already exists that can have 3 brightness levels and switch a second light on as a extra beam. All this through one button and can power 12v leds can you code a nano to do so?
Could I use this to build my own DAC (digital analog convertor) with an LCD? Or would there be a better chip to do that with? Want to use the Wolfson WM8758BG chip. Thanks for any advice.
thanks for the video but what is the function of the switch and do you have to keep the USB plugged in all the time or does the board hold the programming .
The reset button starts the Arduino from scratch, same as if you turn the power off & on. The program is retained in memory. So once it's programmed, you can remove the USB & power the board from a 7-12v power supply to the VIN pin & GND. A 9v battery is ideal for portable projects. Or you can power it from a regulated 5v supply to the 5v pin. There's also a 5v supply input on one of the 6 way header pins.
Hello sir , i want to record video exactly like u . I tried with nikon d5200 dslr but I could not able to record with clear zooming . Could you please tell us what's your recording setup ? Which camera and tripod have u used . Also I am facing shadow issue. In your video there is no shadow . How did you achieve it . Kindly give me list of materis and parts you have used . I will use the same . Thank you sir
Great introduction.may I ask is it possible to communicate with this unit using a mobile phone to operate a relay or switch not operate central heating tks

I recommend you buy the pre soldered version as well.
Probably better getting an Uno or a Mega if you’re an absolute electronics beginner. Nothing to solder on those.
