Running one of the examples

The Arduino software comes with a number of example programs. This example programs could be open in the main window, modified and then uploaded to the controller.

Blinking diode for PIN 13 example program

English

After we've downloaded and installed the Arduino Software we start it and this is the main window currently as version 1.6.12. And what we should do to make the robot blink is just use one of the examples.

Working with the Arduino Software is very easy. And writing program is also very easy because you can even start with some of the very basic examples and they are developed for you. So, we just go to File>Examples. And in the Examples sections we see all different categories of examples and we need just a basic example. Basic>Blink. And that's it. That's the program for blinking diode. All we have to do now is upload this program to the controller.

Starting with Electronics and Arduino

Robotics is great. Mindstorms are great. But for a student to take the next step he or she needs to take a step back, learn what's 'below' and from there discover what would be 'above'.

So we, the content creators at FLLCasts, in order to teach the world of electronics and prepare the next generation of creators from the youngest age, by presenting knowledge, asking questions and searching for the answers of these questions, are building this course for basic electronics with Arduino, that we call "Starting with Electronics and Arduino".

The course is still in development

Getting started. Unpacking. First device and program

Why: It's an easy and fun example to introduce you to Arduino

How: Presenting questions and trying answer this questions. Experimenting with different tasks.

What: We would like to show you how to control a diode. We would build a device and write programs for this device.

End Result: A blinking diode
