Are you now thinking about starting your own journey using Arduino for your electronic projects?

This channel really has everything, love it

Thanks!

The Arduino and Pie are similar but I don't think too many people see them as competitors. They have different use cases and are complementary. There are plenty of situations where the two are used together, taking advantage of the strengths of each.

I think to the uninitiated, the Pi and Arduino are seen both as electronic projects boards, and until you've actually used one or both, there probably isn't an appreciation of the massive differences between the two. I'm aiming this course at complete newbies, who possibly have limited digital electronics knowledge, so thought an explanation between the two was important.

I see your point but it really is a bit like comparing a Camry and a Cruiser.

As a total layman I appreciated the explanation.

I am a complete newbie Simon and enjoyed this video greatly. Thanks

Great to hear, let's hope you join us on the journey!

Great video, loved how you went into the origins of arduino. How does this code go? void setup() { pinMode(13,OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(13,HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13,LOW); delay(500); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13,LOW); delay(500); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13,LOW); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); delay(3000); digitalWrite(13,LOW); delay(500); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); delay(3000); digitalWrite(13,LOW); delay(500); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); delay(3000); digitalWrite(13,LOW); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13,LOW); delay(500); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13,LOW); delay(500); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13,LOW); delay(3000); } keen for more videos!!

Looks like we have a winner! Just shoot me an email via the contact on the main page and I'll send out the sticker.

Well done mate

Cool stuff. My problem is I can never think of a practical use to get me invested in the learning curve. Everytime I think of something, Amazon or eBay already have me covered with an inexpensive gadget to do the job. Also a small thing 03:50 - I think the Raspberry Pi has up to 8GB of RAM not 8MB. We've all made that little faux pas from time to time. Great video. 👍

I think you're right, Cheers! The great thing about an Arduino is the customisation aspect, you can do custom apps or touch screens that'll work perfectly for your solution.

Cheers simon love the video series great to have one dedicated towards 4wding looking forward to the series for more ideas :) Also such a good tip on tinker cad I have spent so many hours trying to work out why my code doesn’t work just to find out it was my circuit that didn’t work.

Tinker cad and Wokwi (for more complex programs with external librarys etc) are great!

Nice work mate

Possibly, I will see how the next couple of videos go, the starter kit is cheap so I may grab one.

It's easy enough to start with the simulator and see if Arduino is for you before committing to the purchase.

Arduino and RPI are totally different devices for totally different things. Not competitors at all.

If you know what they do, I agree. But if you don't.....

What operating systems can you use to program with Arduino? Apart from a Windows based machine can you program with Apple or an Android device? Noob question and I don’t have a Windows device.

The standard IDE (integrated development environment) is for Windows, Mac or Linux. You can also get IDEs for Android and iOS as well.
