Unlike flashy celebrity-driven course platforms with pre-recorded video playlists where you don’t get direct access to the creator, I open up my workshop, software, notebooks and more to show you exactly how it’s done - step-by-step, LIVE, and in real-time - so you can create alongside me and chat during and in between live streams.
I’m a life-long STEAM enthusiast and maker with a passion for telling stories through my hands. It was through teaching and building projects on RU-vid that I was discovered by Motor Trend and Science Channel (Discovery) to appear as a STEM educator and on-air expert on programs like All Girls Garage and Strange Evidence.
I enjoy working on everything from art and workshop projects to electronics and technology. As a result, I’m able to connect with audiences in an authentic and relatable manner through personal stories, lessons learned and practical tips and advice not found on any script.
Hey Mrs. De Barros! I’m a teenager in high school and I’m wanting to learn code for making props like predators plasma caster or something. I’m wondering what kind of code that is? Where did u learn to code? I’ve been trying to learn C code but I haven’t found anything on controlling motors, or lights, or audio. I absolutely love the content so keep doing u, u rock, deuces 🤘
Hola cómo estás, te felicito por tu proyecto, sino te molesta este comentario, te conviene usar const int para declarar los pines así no ocupas espacio en la memoria saludos.
As I watched this video, I thought to myself, I know this person from somewhere, but from where? So I googled and OF COURSE, it was All Girls Garage! I'm a car guy too. I don't know how a marketing person gets into Arduino code, but I'm really glad you did because you explained it in a way I can understand. What I'm doing is simple and you explained very nicely how to do it simply. Thank you for this.
Excellent video, so glad I found this. I tried to use a wiper motor last year but got frustrated and gave up, glad I am getting a head start this year. this video is going to help get me there.
Is there a limit to the length of the strip that can be controlled by a single Arduino? Can i circle my whole house with a single strip controlled by one device?
Thankyou darling: this the first time I've heard about Timer1. Many examples call to timer1 when there's no evidence where it came from. Obviously, it was in the library file, but I didn't know why everyone uses TimerOne the file name, but the code is calling Timer1. It must be imbedded in the library, but it wasn't obvious to me. First I heard about 3 timers also.
I have learned so much from this one video that will be useful for all kinds of projects. I can imagine limit switches that would be inputs to the Arduino so as the “spider” reaches an extreme, the switch tells the Arduino to do something like, stop or set a variable, or reverse. Thank you!
Fantastic video, very well explained. I love the way you teach by doing the things along. Next level = include interruption for a certain period of time with a trigger within a function while permitting other tasks to continue, then resume the interrupted task.
You seem really knowledgeable about this stuff maybe you can help me with a project that I'm trying to figure out. I'm trying to set up a display where three witches perform the scene from Macbeth. Each witch would need to speak her lines in turn and then all three of them speaking the communal lines. I know I will need servo motors for the jaw movement and head movement but how do I sync everything together in a performance?
Good work, and please do real time project using rain drop sensor with 12 volt wiper motor controlled by arduino uno and L298N motor driver. Thank you for all of your previous works.
As a complete noob to Arduino, I was able to get this project working pretty easily. Thank you for the clear plans and directions. I would love to install this in a prop I made but as it is using a breadboard it has very loose connections and the wiring is a mess. Could you make a video on how to make this for a more permanant install maybe using a nano or othe rmeans to be able to solder it together and make it more compact?
I appreciate ALL of your work. I am watching and learning from each video. Thank You. If you take suggestions: 1. How to sum colors represented from camera image and then allow most prevalent color to dictate LED strip color. 2. Allow IR remote to toggle LED color or change variable value in program code. A simple toggle is enough - do not need to decipher actual key codes...
Hi Rachel. Great video and love your gripping enthusiasm to teach your passion to others. I'm a developer myself. Been wanting to get into Arduinos and electronics and also drag my daughter along the ride. I think we'll enjoy the ride much more with your videos 🙂
I’m new to this whole things.. and I think you now got me hooked. Love your teaching style. I would love to see a similar video that adds some kind of force-sensitive resistor sensor. To many the motor stop if it hit some kind of object. Thank Rachel
I love you, i never watch a video on youtube for 50 mins, max 20 mins, but your videos are so fun and i really really like them, you deserve my sub and like.
Thank you for the great video! I have one question: What if I want the 3-second sound to repeat if motion is still present? Meaning, that if a person stays for longer than a few seconds the same sound loops. Right now, I see the option sensor is detecting that motion is still present, but the MP3 player automatically turns off after the 3 seconds of the sound bite as played.
