Curious about microcontrollers? Then this is for you...

Did you know that microcontrollers make things so easy that it's considered cheating by some? For example, try making a code lock without using a microcontroller. It would require several integrated circuits and a ton of connections. Doable, but not an easy task. With a microcontroller, you could instead just connect a keypad to the microcontroller, copy-paste a few lines of code, then you're done. It lets you replace components with code! ​ Arduino is a microcontroller board that makes it easy to get started with microcontrollers. It's a board you plug into your computer and you can start coding right away. You don't need to know anything about compilers or programmers, and the code is easy to understand. You can find freely available code examples on how to do lots of different things like making a code lock, building a kitchen scale, or even making your own cell phone! ​ To get started, just get yourself an Arduino board and start experimenting with examples. I recommend starting with the original Arduino UNO board. (Clones are fine too, but can be a bit of a pain to set up the first time.) ​ I've created a course for beginners on how to get started with Arduino. It's included along with tons of example projects with an Ohmify membership. For the next 48 hours, you can try out Ohmify for a month for only $10. ​Click here to learn more >>​ ​ Keep On Soldering!
