--- Quote from: robjodicarter on October 25, 2018, 03:13:27 am ---Any good suggestions? --- End quote --- I can't say I've watched any. Once I downloaded the IDE, I just dived straight in. Having been programming for a decade or three, I didn't need much help getting going. Edit: (I did need help later on, though - but Google search usually found me some helpful resources.) Richard Crowley has given a good outline. See how you go with that. --- Quote from: MudAndSnow on October 25, 2018, 06:52:52 am ---A nice thing to add about arduinos is after you get your prototype working, it is fairly easy to cut costs and size down for the next version by making your own boards using the main components from the arduino. --- End quote --- I wouldn't worry too much about this. Making your own boards is an investment in time that will be hard to justify in the beginning. You can do a lot with existing boards - so have fun with those. |

Jeremy Blums you tube channel has some brilliant tutorials for Arduino including xmas lights. It covers addressable leds, gps and other cool stuff |

Just got it so addicted!!!!!!! Trying to upload code via Arduino droid but not taking? I know it's not the best way but my son is using the computer to do his school work. Any one use this way? Thank you rob Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk |

As for the upload failing (assuming the compile was successful) if it was on a computer, I would get you to check the port being used - but I have no idea bout using Arduino droid. |

I'm not familiar with android but a common problem is not selecting the right board or downloading and installing the drivers for your specific board. If you haven't told it what board you are using, that'd be a good thing to look in to. It's also a good idea to keep electronics away from things that generate static electricity, like blankets. Look up 'ESD' for more info. |
