    Microcontrollers were able to do this for decades. Having any kind of sensor on input, and any kind of actuator on output. But the revolution came with the simplicity of plugging it directly to USB, and having relatively simple code processing all the stuff. And, of course, the huge community support behind it. Love Arduinos, made tons of complex projects with them even with no previous experience with microcontrollers or ways to program any. Super easy to learn, and extremely powerful. I often have a feeling that the limit is only my imagination

  • @NicholasRehm
    @NicholasRehm Před měsícem +23

    Mark hit the nail on the head describing robotics: just inputs and outputs creatively mapped to each other through a computer. The only tricky bit is to figure out and lock down the interfaces between the components and the microcontroller's code. With robust interfaces, writing the actual code logic to do something useful becomes a walk in the park. Luckily, there's tons of code libraries that do this for you already--you just gotta find them and understand which one to use for which component type. Hoping for a follow up video like this one describing communication methods & protocols (analog, digital, pwm, i2c, serial, CAN, etc.) and for what types of components they're typically applicable to

    Arduino programming is absolutely the best way to get people into coding. It is very easy, uses the same logic that all programming uses, and gives visual and cool feedback. It is like a 'hello world' program on steroids. And the cheapness of things like 45 piece sensor kit and a few LEDs and cheap motors means you can do amazing things.

      @@mr.cabbage4428 Arduinos basically use C++ but it is heavily modified with obviously a lot of methods and functions specific to it. There are modules that allow you to use python. But honestly, Arduino is very very basic coding and very specific to Arduino.

    You have an uncanny way of explaining things simultaneously in laymen's terms and appropriate vernacular. Honestly, from my perspective, you're the absolute best internet educator out there. Your ability to simplify topics that many would consider overly complicated and then explain their structure and function in relatable detail is second to none. Thank you very much for everything you've done, you currently do, and will potentially will do.

    I don’t often comment but I just have to say I love what you’re doing here! I remember getting my first arduino in middle school and now I’m getting Unity, Java, and C# certified! Teaching something as accessible as arduino in such a fun way will surely provide the next step for countless people into so many extremely well paying jobs, as well as teach children how to follow their passions all by themselves! You’re a saint for doing this! Keep up the good work!

    When current flows through metal, it flows solely from negative to positive. Through other conductors, and inside the battery itself, the current flow can be negative to positive, positive to negative, and even both directions at the same time.

      Conventional current versus electron current. For a beginners tutorial, stick with conventional current as there is no point in adding complexity when it adds nothing to the initial discussion.
      Symbols such as diodes shows that the current is permitted to flow from positive to negative.

    As an electronics engineer with 40 years experience I believe the Arduino project is one of the greatest enablers of technological advancement ever and its so easily available. Every test rig Ive built has arduinos on. Control, sensor interface, computation, display, logging, theres an arduino for everything. The Teensy 4, 600MHz, MB of ram, floating point math, its a dream come true. Bringing sorting algorithams to life with real world data is a beauty to behold. Could there be a project to spread arduinos to African schools ?

    For as super intelligent as you are, you explain things kids can understand better than 90% of all teachers.

    4:49 - The electrons flow the opposite direction from what is explained in the video. They flow from negative to positive of course.

    • @ericbaker8807
      @ericbaker8807 Před měsícem

      You're correct that electron flow is technically from - to +. Conventional current is typically thought of as + to - though and it doesn't make a difference in the evaluation of circuitry. Kinda confusing tbh
