Ease of Use
Arduino provides a user-friendly platform, especially for beginners, with an intuitive IDE and a wide range of libraries that simplify coding and hardware control.
Large Community
A vast, active community of users and developers who share knowledge, projects, and provide support through forums, tutorials, and documentation.
Open Source
Both the hardware and software are open source, allowing users to modify, enhance, and create custom projects with the freedom provided by open standards.
Diverse Range of Boards
Arduino offers a wide variety of boards and shields with different capabilities, allowing users to choose the right platform for their specific needs.
Cost-Effective
Arduino boards are generally affordable, making it accessible for hobbyists, students, and educators to experiment and prototype without significant investment.
I was gonna say the arduino.cc site but that works too. Source: almost 2 years ago
When you write your code and compile it, what environment are you doing it in? Are you using an online cloud service like arduino.cc's IoT cloud? Or have you downloaded and installed the Arduino IDE application from arduino.cc's software download page? Source: almost 2 years ago
There are tons of libraries for the Arduino platform that people have written and there are many available for use with this module, so you don't have to do any super heavy lifting programming-wise. In the Arduino IDE you can download from arduino.cc I installed a couple of libraries just now as a test. The reason I installed them is because almost every library comes with several short example programs showing... Source: almost 2 years ago
Did all of it make sense? Could you do the projects he shows by yourself without starting and stopping the video? That might show areas that you would want to brush up on. Another great idea is to go through all of the commands on the arduino.cc language reference page. Make sure you instinctively understand what each function listed does and experiment with any that you aren't familiar with. Source: almost 2 years ago
There are also IoT cloud style dashboards at places like arduino.cc that let you add various widgets for dials and controls to represent the data you have locally with your Arduino. Source: almost 2 years ago
Mentioned at arduino.cc. Designed to generate a periodic interrupt, I'll have to code a little state machine to change the interval at every firing. Source: almost 2 years ago
Without a good explanation from them I really wouldn't put much stock in it. If anything they're probably just trying to steer people away from CH340 devices in part because they are problem children and because arduino.cc themselves don't use them. Source: about 2 years ago
Ontop of this, step 3 and 5 are a must in learning. And don't think "it's just blinking, lame" think more of "what can I do with this?" Use arduino.cc for reference. Source: about 2 years ago

No LOW_SPEED in my version, I downloaded the IDE from arduino.cc. I'll look into the other suggestion you made. Source: about 2 years ago
You should definitely check out the official arduino.cc website. They cover a lot of the basic explanation of the various tools and processes that you have at your disposal. In addition to the software and hardware side of things you should also be aware that there are online simulators available such as wokwi.com that will allow you to design and connect "virtual" parts together and then you can experiment and...

For the PCB, use the Leonardo development design as a starting point. You can download the PCB/schematic for all of their boards on arduino.cc. Source: about 2 years ago
No worries at all. You might find that most folk here in this sub are that way. I'm one of the mods here and we try to foster a friendly and helpful environment that recognizes that we all learned most of this stuff from some kind stranger on the internet so it's only fitting that we pay some of it back! 🙃 Absolutely none of us were born knowing any of this and we hate the patronizing responses you see on *some...

The Arduino support is pretty good. There is an mbed oriented rp2040 version supported by arduino.cc but I prefer this one because it is closer to "classic" arduino. Source: over 2 years ago
Hi there, While I work in IT, I'm brand new to Arduino. I'm currently working on a long-term project to turn an antique radio cabinet into a computer case. Part of that project involves using some of the knobs from the radio on rotary encoders for multimedia controls. On to the problem: I have installed Arduino IDE 2.0.2 on my Win11 computer. I've opened it, installed the board files, selected the proper com... Source: over 2 years ago
I understand where you're coming from ... You don't know what you don't know and so you don't even know what to ask ... When I was learning how to code with C++ with Arduinos (and a pico qualifies in that category), I looked at examples of code for accomplishing things that I wanted to do and when I hit something along the way that didn't make sense to me, I would ask questions in the arduino.cc forum or on stack...

Bro IDE 2.0 is by the looks of just a trash rip from VSCode. Just forgo anything arduino.cc makes and switch to something else and write straight in C++. it'll make your life way easier. Both IDE 1.0 and 2.0 take stupidly long for me to open as opposed to VSCode with the platform.io plugin. Source: over 2 years ago
Agreed. Elegoo et al are great. But the way the board on the right includes "arduino.cc", "Arduino", and "Made in Italy" is really misleading if not an outright lie. Source: over 2 years ago
