Arduino microcontroller tutorial, featuring a review of the new UNO R4 Minima board. Video also covers setting up the Arduino IDE, and writing and uploading sketches (which is what Arduino call programs).
There is fantastic documentation for the Arduino UNO R4 Mimina on the Arduino website here: docs.arduino.cc/hardware/uno-... The board can also be purchased via the “Store” on this site, which seems to offer the best prices. But the Arduino UNO R4 Minima is also available on Amazon at these links:

Amazon UK: amzn.to/475bIQL

So many acronyms...this video positively oozes Nerdisms enough to satisfy even the most demanding SBC fans 🙂 Thank you Chris, this is like a breath of fresh air - a blast of things long past from a time when people weren't afraid to learn, and technology was exciting and new. You recreate that feeling with all your videos, and for that, I am more than happy to support all you do.

Absolutely. Anyway, I blundered into your channel about a month ago, and I'm hoping to spend a bit more time there (if I ever get caught up with the quotidian minutiae of life, or extract my head---uh, enough). Ubuntu isn't *terrible*, but it could be time for something new... Also, hoping things are going better for you and yours, with regard to domicile. Thanks to you, and to Chris, of course.

I used one as a solar charge controller and logger. It monitors battery voltage and charge current and via PWM regulates the charge current from a PV solar array. It also keeps a running total of produced amperes, watts and various highs and lows. It spits out the data over USB to a Raspberry Pi which is running Apache to display this data and provide other functionality.

I see you getting really excited over this. Imagine this device being around 30 or430 years ago when we were mucking about doing this the hard way. I've just bought an Uno R4 Wifi, and have managed to get it running as a webserver and relay controller that I can control with a web browser on a phone etc. fun times. The motivation in getting it was to build a model railway turntable, using a stepper motor and indexed positions etc. which I'm sure to get onto once I've done playing around.

Yes, 220 ohms is a bit low. I use 1k resistors and the LEDs are more than bright enough. In fact, some of the modern surface mount LEDs are extremely bright and 4k7 is an appropriate resistor to use.

Great learning video with good humor as well, Chris. As I have told you before, you make every Sunday morning like Christmas morning! I have used Arduino's for many Amateur Radio uses such as measuring antenna SWR, a power indicating dummy load, several digital meters for displaying voltage and current, and morse keyers of various types including my most current project that takes voice input (i.e. "dit" and "dah" words from a microphone) and converts it to actual dit's and dah's over the air eliminating the manual key normally used for input (I have tremors that are so bad I can no longer use a manual key). I have watched many of your videos where you use a pico-pi or similar device with python to do something relatively simple and think how I could implement that on an Arduino for about $8 with an Arduino Nano using less power. You could implement your weather station on the new arduino R4 wifi board and really impress those ducks!!! (Hint...hint...)

I love the Arduino. I learned about them just after I finished my Master’s studies in Electrical and computer Engineering. Everything I had made before then for assignments was using lower level digital logic chips and microprocessors with assembly code at best. Difficult to make anything really useful. When I discovered the Arduino, I made a water dispenser that connects to a spigot and has a flow meter, solenoid valve and LCD screen. User input is via a set of three buttons. It can dispense a selected amount of water in quarts, gallons or liters. A very fun project. I need to come up with another project idea.

Regarding C++, I taught myself C back in 1990 when I was still a programmer on IBM mainframes. C++ is an OOP version of C. Nowadays, with the resources on the internet, you should have no problem. If you already know a programming language, it will be a cinch.

@John.0z 10 месяцев назад

I am endlessly amazed by the new generations of the Arduino, and other SBCs. This quite humble little board has wider processor busses, a much faster Central Processor Unit (although maybe a little less elaborate), more and faster RAM and more storage than early computers like the first DEC PDPs. It is miles faster than the first PCs, although the early IBM PC had more RAM. The biggest difference between those early computers and this Arduino is our expectations concerning their capabilities.

@jamiemcglynn6600 10 месяцев назад

Another great one, Chris! Whilst I don't own any actual Arduino-branded hardware, the Arduino IDE does make it possible to use third-party controllers like an Arduino, if they suit your case use scenarios better. I mainly use the ESP01S, not only because of its minuscule footprint, but also its WiFi capabilities. The "Arduino" by-name goes far beyond the own-brand hardware, it's a DIY ecosystem in its own right.

@ExplainingComputers 10 месяцев назад

The Pico, at its price, does indeed provide stiff competition . . .

@CommDante 10 месяцев назад

I think loads of shields (easier for beginners to start with a project quickly), diverse power voltages and possibly power usage and 5V logic (more widely used) would be in favor of most Arduinos. Pretty sure Pico has 3.3V logic and 2nd core is always running (even when not used) and only accepts 5V as power. Also runs on much higher MHz, so likely uses more power.
