This man is a natural teacher. I like him, and his tutorials. Seems to understand the initial problems that could make new users fail. His points are well thought out, the things he tells you are the things you need to know. Very smart bloke this is.
Actual lesson starts from 12:21 Until then, it's all about his idea of how he would approach the tutorial. Save your time for those who wants to skip or what have you.
I just joined a Robotics club that uses Arduino and I'm waaay behind the multitude of IST and Engineering majors that make up the majority of the club. Thank you so much for helping me catch up!
A good teacher doesn't hold your hand; they point you in the right direction and give you a kick to the ass to get you going. This is awesome. Thanks! 🙋
It has been a long time since I've been to visit your channel. It is really good to hear you again. Your modesty and good will have not changed a bit. I now know what a rare thing that is. I hope it never changes.
IDE = Integrated Development Environment. What that means is that everything you need to do the programming is part of the programming package. In the old days compilers, linkers, editors were separate software. The IDE puts all the pieces together in an easy to use package. Arduino IDE even includes functionality to send the sketch to the controller.
7 years later and this video still makes sense. That's why I always say, code is hard as it is. It is your job to simplify it & not complicate the complicated. 🙌 Thank you!
Ok, I have just had a look at the "Getting started with Arduino" book and that is how they connect the LED for the blinking LED exercise. They do however post this note: "If you intend to keep the LED lit for a long period of time, you should use a resister as described on page 56." Thanks, I will still add this annotation.
I got an Arduino Uno for Christmas and as an absolute beginner had no idea where to start with it. I had a hunch that you might have videos on something similar, and lo and behold! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Martin, great videos as always, can't wait to start my first project with it.
Hello, Ok, if you do want to post some suggestions the easiest place is on my forum:mjlorton(dot)com. I will also try to produce Arduino tutorials that cover the practical aspects and limitations. Having both the 9v and USB connected will not really help. To power bigger devices form an Arduino you need to start using FETs, relays etc. I will cover this in a tutorial. Cheers, Martin.
Martin, I have been subscribed to your channel only for a month, and I really like the way you explain things so clearly and logically. With this video you have certainly inspired me to have a go with an arduino, so I have ordered one, and I am confident your video's will help me get the most out of it. Keep it up! Cheers Phil
your doing an admirable thing, please don't stop with your lessons as I am a living witness for not being to old to learn besides your like my personal instructor and I will be supporting your amazon page, thanks a ton!!!
YES.. This is the help I needed. Bought a clone dont know shit cant even see where the extracted Zip.file for the Os goes on this Mac (Im an old PC user). But hey steep learningcurves are pure FUN and buying things off the shelf is DULL.
Martin, I've watched a lot of your other videos in the past. Now that I'm getting into Arduino- I was thrilled to see that you cover it from the ground up. Nice job on this video, I look forward to the rest of the series! Thanks!
+Joe Cherian change the coding on the sketch you used to program it to blink or hit file on the top right corner and create new(you are limited to how many times you can create a new one(around 10000)) I recommend changing the original but if you can't find it, create a new one
even several people say skip the first section, i think however this section is very important. there are many smart people but view wise men. thanks for ur contribution
MJ thank you for starting at the very beginning. New to this and everybody else seems to start in the middle of a project and never explain the beginning of what is going on. I know the series is older but I have purchased a lot of tools and equipment but want to learn and know what I am doing. I have subscribed to your channel for a while and you are really very helpful explaining things. I’m a retired aircraft learning a new aspect of today’s technological world and hope you can help me with purchasing the correct tools and components. Thanks buddy in advance Artie 😊
Hello! I'm having issue with my arduino uno. It was working OK couple days ago. But now it has problem with uploading. When I try to upload, first it stuck at uploading, after a while it gives quite a long error message starts with Problem uploading board, avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x2c avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding................etc. I tried almost all the tricks and instructions online such as reset button. None of them didn't work. I'm sure that my ports and other options for Arduino UNO are correct. When I connect my arduino to computer I hear the device insertion sound, also yellow(L) and green(ON) lights of the arduino board are on. I reinstalled software. And when I connect arduino it has installed the port automatically which means board and computers' connection is OK. Also when I connect my arduino board to motor driver, my stepper motor is working with the code which I uploaded previously. How can I fix it? Please tell me if there is other way. Thank you!
"and what have you " heard this after a long time..sublime presentation..am already a fan .. helped me start with my arduino uno.. am a mech guy and you have triggered my imagination..
I gave up after 7 minutes. I can only listen to him talk about what he's going to talk about for so long. Way too drawn out and boring. I guess I must have ADD.
I cant thank you enough for this tutorial I am new to electronics and very keen to learn the 'why' with the 'how'. It was well edited, thorough and easy to follow. I am completing my Bachelor of Fine Arts Hons this year and working to translate environmental data into sense mechanics. Please keep making your videos, I have subscribed and will use your amazon too :) Best wishes T
Definitely a very good and unique arduino tutorials I have watched several arduino tutorials and none of them is like this one. Please do watch everyone whoever is interested in learning arduino for developmental purposes.
Hi Martin, This is the first RUclips video that I am subscribing to (and I've been using computers since the mid 80's)!!!! That in itself should speak for the effort you've put in. I've not coded beyond GW Basic but I'm game ! Cheers Shandy
It is a pleasure to watch this tutorial. It is not difficult to understand the instructor as kind and thoughtful toward students. Potentially reaching hundreds of new, imaginative programmers. WOW. You should know I subcribed after seeing one video. I plan to watch many more. Very worthwhile. Superb instruction.
I've just bought my first Arduino and your first video is absolutely fantastic. As time moves on and I become more confident I'm going to be asking for a way to remunerate you for your services. Thank you so much for your help so far
This is my first course for Arduino. In the past I use to program with 6809 Motorola CPU at College.I bought myself an Arduino MEGA and today I have decided to have a kickstart. With your first tutorial I finally start Arduino. I want to thank you VERY much for you help. I am very happy to go on...
just start my Arduino learning, thx for ur tutorial , mjlorton. I DO appreciate for what u've contributed. ur tutorial is clear and in detail. I DO enjoy watching it and i run through once patiently and get what i need, thank you! keep it up, man!
I just received my UNO today after watching this video it helped. 1st time success at getting the on board led to flash on and off. I adjusted the timing for 3 seconds on and 3 off works great. Looking forward to your other tutorials.
Liked the first video so far! I like that you encourage beginners to spend time and tinker with the board/code and work on their own projects. During the discussion of the first basic "blinking program" you cad add a note up top to "try modifying the code to change the light frequency" or something similar.
Thank you for the time you have put in to these tutorials. I'm a CompTIA A+ technitian and a degree in computer system technology. Got this to expand my knowledge. You do a very thorough explanation which filled in some of the puzzle pieces missing. Keep it up. I was wondering, if you had the time to show us video dedicated to lcd's. and more in depth of shields. There are so many. I just bought a touchscreen lcd shield, which I have no idea how to find a sketch for that particular screen yet. This has so many applications it's intimidating, for me. But, the software is good and simple in my opinion.
Outstanding way to teach what can be a somehwhat complicated and confusing subject. Also very well produced with clear and easily understood audio and the video is also clear and easy to read. Thank you so much for taking the time and putting forth the effort required to share these videos. Very much appricieated here.
Excellent introduction. I have been enjoying my Raspberry Pi for the past few weeks. My Arduino came today. So I am excited to kick the tires on it. I have played with Teensy in the past. Historically I worked with Fairchild, Signetics, and National Semiconductor back in the 70's. Great job, keep up the tutorials. I gave my Nieces each an Arduino Uno R3. They are both young hardware hackers. They built a dozen computers from parts and pieces over the last few years. Thank you for your efforts.
Thanks for taking the time to do the video's, just getting started but sense your publish date was on my birthday, I will take that as a good omen. looking forward to continuing and learning. All the Best. Bill
lol guys im using windows 10, and this vid "series" is one of the good more detailed ones and i am happy that there are people willing to do this for other people that have little (in this case none) experience in the Arduino area. and once again thank you sooooo much this is a huge help keep posting!!!
Thanks very much for the feedback and the differentiation between a Microcontroller and a Microprocessor. I will highlight that in the next video and annotate this one. Cheers, Martin.
No worries...I''m also a newbie. According to the "Getting Started With Arduino" book, pin 13 does have a resistor to limit current but it must not be used for long durations.
Very new newbie, here (haven't even received my Arbuino kit yet) but this has been great. I like your teaching style and look forward to watching your lessons. Thanks!
Just watched your tutorial #1 and find it very informing. I am just starting to use Arduino for different projects that I have in mind so I will be watching all of your tutorials. Thanks for sharing.
I'll say that this is the best video for beginners. Thank you much, you explain so beautifully and in a very simple way. When i started thinking about arduino, i was wondering if i would understand it. But you've cleared all the doubts. I'm gonna focus on it from now.
Thank you so much for your RUclips video! I love your approach and attempt at showing us "concepts" versus showing us how to do things without any thought. I really appreciate your time.
Hi Robin, good question. The analog input is from 0-1023 as I think it's a function of the resolution of the analog to digital converter. I'll try gain a better understanding of the hardware myself and go through it in a future video. Cheers, Martin.
I have a particular project, that started the Arduino interest. I have Googled until I'm blue in the face, yes I have looked at a lot of the videos you mention. Before your video, I was scared, very reticent to continue. Yes, the video is long, but what it does do is describe things in layman's terms. You are infinitely more knowledgeable than me, but this has given me the confidence to continue.
I believe that more information is always better than not enough when getting started with any new area of learning. Thank you for your ability to share this knowledge.
Awesome first video for a newbie like me. Just got the kit and got the LED blinking! Thanks for the walkthrough for installing the software and using the device manager. Looking forward to the next one.
You are a natural teacher! Every bit of information you provide is essential. to Many People Assume We Know All This Stuff. .. ass u me. Assume. Many thanks!!
Excellent foundation for the Arduino controller. Thanks for taking the time and posting such a detailed tutorial. It has helped me a lot and I just ordered my first Arduino - Uno R3 kit.
So helpful. Thank you. Refreshing to have a tutorial given in earnest, without flashing lights and music in the edit. I just bought my Arduino and am even more enthusiastic about plugging it in now.
Good Job man! I'm used to programming chips and soldering them onto boards and making everything from scratch. This board should make things a lot simpler. So thanks for the tutorial. Surely many people will benefit from your videos. The LED survived without a resistor :D
I never heard about arduino before and this tutorial is just amazing! you explain it really really well, camera and audio perfect! hope you will continue this Tutorial, you just got a new Follower and will share it with all my friends :)
Thanks for this video. I don't mind listening to someone who is interested in Arduino. I really know how to start with Arduino now and know where to look. Thanks! Greetings from the Netherlands.
I Love Your Videos! Please Don't Stop! You explain this topic is a way that even I can understand. I'll be watching more and visiting your store. Thanks!
I love your Work man! If i had a Teacher like you many years ago, i would have never gone away from Electronics...!? Thank you very much for sharing...:-)
This is a great tutorial thank you. I'm a medical student and i know nothing about Arduino to be honest but i want to use it to make a project for the visually impaired hopefully i'll be able to after going through your videos.
Robin...a screw on a socket should work but I would warn you to be very careful as you are near the mains (for safety reasons). I would say go to your local hardware / electronics store and ask advice on a safe way to earth yourself. I might try cover this in a future video too.
Thanks for the video. I am am utter beginner with this, so will be working through the following vids. Pity there are so many people who cant help from making negative critical comments. As if there is some optimal way of explaining something so complex, to a world of people with different pre existing knowledge, abilities and available time. Or that you can just pick it all up on 5 minutes! Experience suggests that IF you actually have a go, rather than just surf RUclips, then all the detailed explanations will prove to be highly valuable.
I've got an Arduino clone that has been sitting on my shelf at home for ages. Maybe this series will be just the kick up the backside I need to get playing with it. Cheers for the good Videos Martin John
that was a good kick starter 101 to Arduino. I am going to order the kit soon. Another "glitch" that can happen which I read online somewhere is not to connect the USB to PC along with power supply simultaneously.
This man is a natural teacher. I like him, and his tutorials. Seems to understand the initial problems that could make new users fail. His points are well thought out, the things he tells you are the things you need to know. Very smart bloke this is.
real tutorial starts at 10:55
everything before that is useless if you are a beginner
thank me later
thank u
most useful comment...thanks
Daniel Anastasov thanks
Thanks alot lol
Daniel Anastasov thanks alot
Actual lesson starts from 12:21
Until then, it's all about his idea of how he would approach the tutorial. Save your time for those who wants to skip or what have you.
Thanks for the feedback. If you look in the details under the video there is a link to my Amazon Store where there are starter kits. Cheers, Martin.
I just joined a Robotics club that uses Arduino and I'm waaay behind the multitude of IST and Engineering majors that make up the majority of the club. Thank you so much for helping me catch up!
fallingup Thanks for the feedback.
A good teacher doesn't hold your hand; they point you in the right direction and give you a kick to the ass to get you going. This is awesome. Thanks! 🙋
1.5 playback speed is really nice
1.25 enough :)
lmao thanks for the reminder saved so much time
To be honest, 1.25
Open dev tools, then $('video') playback.Rate = 3
1.25 ;)
It has been a long time since I've been to visit your channel. It is really good to hear you again. Your modesty and good will have not changed a bit.
I now know what a rare thing that is. I hope it never changes.

The best video ever on Arduino. Thank you very much. You explain everything in a marvelous way. Now, I can claim I am starting to learn Arduino.
You gotta long way to go still... Trust me on that :P
***** Thats what i meant, whats your point there Mr Knowitall?
Hello,
Ok, if you do want to post some suggestions the easiest place is on my forum:mjlorton(dot)com.
I will also try to produce Arduino tutorials that cover the practical aspects and limitations.
Having both the 9v and USB connected will not really help. To power bigger devices form an Arduino you need to start using FETs, relays etc. I will cover this in a tutorial.

Anybody here at 2019? And thank u so much for making this toutoriel 😁
Ikr, 7 years later & it's still makes so much sense. He deserves a thumbs up👍
I just view this again today
I am too with you watched it today .....after almost 7 years
im HERE! 12/22/19 would like to build a peltier to cool the computer! i think this guy has died most of them have.
2020. I really want to learn arduino for projects.

My pleasure John, thanks for the feedback.
I really appreciate your video tutorials, very helpful and I've learnt so much from your channel thankyou :)
MJ, I really respect the way that you approach teaching, thorough and precise. You are helping me get started on a journey. Thank you.
YES.. This is the help I needed. Bought a clone dont know shit cant even see where the extracted Zip.file for the Os goes on this Mac (Im an old PC user). But hey steep learningcurves are pure FUN and buying things off the shelf is DULL.
This is hands-down the best series for Arduino tutorials!
nice tutorial
i am a mech. engg. student
i am starting robotics projects
really helpful tutorial
thank u .......................

Will we learn arduino in CSE?
Anik Mukherjee I dont think so
I am teaching this stuff and I do not know how you can be so calm and slow based you are it is a gift.. Thank you for this helpful video..
Really appreciate this. Very valuable. I have subscribed because of this video.
+gus bisbal me too..lol

ya its boring
You guys are too used to Linus Tech Tips or what have you. This is more prep for beginners.
I cant thank you enough for this tutorial I am new to electronics and very keen to learn the 'why' with the 'how'. It was well edited, thorough and easy to follow.

What have you
Definitely a very good and unique arduino tutorials I have watched several arduino tutorials and none of them is like this one. Please do watch everyone whoever is interested in learning arduino for developmental purposes.
Hi Martin,
This is the first RUclips video that I am subscribing to (and I've been using computers since the mid 80's)!!!! That in itself should speak for the effort you've put in. I've not coded beyond GW Basic but I'm game !
Cheers

I just got my Arduino UNO today followed your setup instructions with no problem. I uploaded the blinky to the Arduino and it works.
Thanks
It is a pleasure to watch this tutorial. It is not difficult to understand the instructor as kind and thoughtful toward students. Potentially reaching hundreds of new, imaginative programmers. WOW. You should know I subcribed after seeing one video.
I plan to watch many more. Very worthwhile. Superb instruction.

Pop over to my forum and post your problem there. Either myself or one of the many forum members should be able to help. mjlorton(dot)com
I have just purchased my first Arduino starter kit. And these videos very useful as a first timer.
Liked the first video so far! I like that you encourage beginners to spend time and tinker with the board/code and work on their own projects.

My pleasure, thanks for the feedback. I do certainly hope to produce video on trouble shooting / fixing electronics in the future.
Thanks very much for the support. I will go check about the R2...thanks for that. Cheers, Martin.
Thanks for this video. I don't mind listening to someone who is interested in Arduino. I really know how to start with Arduino now and know where to look. Thanks! Greetings from the Netherlands.
I just got my first arduino and needed the help installing the driver thank you so much
I followed your steps and its just worked first time thanx a bunch for such a helpful tutorial
Finally an Arduino video that covers the basics well, Subscribed!
I Love Your Videos! Please Don't Stop! You explain this topic is a way that even I can understand. I'll be watching more and visiting your store. Thanks!
This video helped me to start up my first arduino UNO, Thanks Martin Lorton.
I love your Work man! If i had a Teacher like you many years ago, i would have never gone away from Electronics...!? Thank you very much for sharing...:-)
This is a great tutorial thank you. I'm a medical student and i know nothing about Arduino to be honest but i want to use it to make a project for the visually impaired hopefully i'll be able to after going through your videos.
Robin...a screw on a socket should work but I would warn you to be very careful as you are near the mains (for safety reasons). I would say go to your local hardware / electronics store and ask advice on a safe way to earth yourself. I might try cover this in a future video too.
Thanks for the video. I am am utter beginner with this, so will be working through the following vids. Pity there are so many people who cant help from making negative critical comments. As if there is some optimal way of explaining something so complex, to a world of people with different pre existing knowledge, abilities and available time. Or that you can just pick it all up on 5 minutes! Experience suggests that IF you actually have a go, rather than just surf RUclips, then all the detailed explanations will prove to be highly valuable.
I've got an Arduino clone that has been sitting on my shelf at home for ages.
Maybe this series will be just the kick up the backside I need to get playing with it.
Cheers for the good Videos Martin

brilliant,you help me out all the time in different projects, and 40min goes really fast, thanks for you time on making the videos. tony
I am new to this and found your first tutorial really helpful and informative. Can't wait to get started. Keep up the good work!
Trevor Coard My pleasure Trevor.
that was a good kick starter 101 to Arduino. I am going to order the kit soon. Another "glitch" that can happen which I read online somewhere is not to connect the USB to PC along with power supply simultaneously.
