Arduino Starter Kit Tutorials

This is index of existing and future MarginallyClever Arduino Starter Kit tutorials.

A moment of clarity

• Arduino
• Serial 1: Texting from an Arduino to a computer
• Serial 2: Texting from a computer to an Arduino

Creating a Grammar and Vocabulary

• Building and Drawing Circuits
• Breadboards
• Resistors
• Capacitors
• Transistors
• LED

Forming sentences

• Speaker 101: How to Blink (or Beep) Morse Code with Arduino
• Speaker 201: How to make a Piezoelectric speaker play music
• Decoding Morse Code with an Arduino and a Microphone
• Little Big Planet Sackboy faces – 8×8 LED, Joystick, Arduino.
• Maze game – 8×8 LED, Joystick, Arduino
• Tetris 1 2 3 4 – 8×8 LED, Joystick, Arduino.

From there we can get into lots and lots of other stuff, not in the scope of this kit:

Having a conversation

• How to make a linear actuator – pi and circle math
• CNC machines – linear actuators, bresenham’s algorithm, kinematics, algebra
• 3D printers – CNC machines, thermistors
• Robot simulation – 2D & 3D graphics with OpenGL
• CAD/CAM
• Robot vision
