Arduino’s- Introduction

After a talk in October, about Arduino’s, I have been really interested in them, so Adam brought his own in, so that we could learn how to install the programs into my computer, and how to get the arduino to do basic things like make a LED flash in intervals. Adam told us to go to www.ladyada.net, where it would 

show us how step by step how to do this.

Lady Ada was really good because it has lessons, from how to set it up, to advanced things like making touch sensors and buzzers work, but we decided to just try to get an LED work! we managed to get the arduino to flash the LED light, we also figured out how to make the LED light to flash slower, and faster, by changing parts of the program in the software. I only completed lesson 0 and lesson 1, because I needed a breadboard to do anymore lessons on Lady Ada, and I didn’t have one of those.

When I have enough money, I think that I will buy myself an arduino kit and breadboard myself to experiment with arduinos more.

Here is some photos of the arduino and the software;
