Video description
These quick and simple video tutorials are the perfect way to
break into the Arduino space. John Baichtal leads you through the
fundamentals in an easy to follow learning path. In no time at all
you will become familiar with the Arduino hardware. You’ll learn
how to program the Arduino and connect sensors.
John Baichtal got his start writing blog posts for Wired's
legendary GeekDad blog as well as the DIYer's bible MAKE Magazine.
From there he branched out into authoring books about toys, tools,
robots, and hobby electronics. He is the co-author of The Cult of
Lego (No Starch) and author of Hack This: 24 Incredible Hackerspace
Projects from the DIY Movement as well as Basic Robot Building With
Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 (both from Que). Most recently he wrote
Make: Lego and Arduino Projects for MAKE, collaborating with Adam
Wolf and Matthew Beckler. He lives in Minneapolis, MN, with his
wife and three children.
