First day with Adafruit Circuit Playground Express
09/26/2020 at 08:39 • 0 commentsI received my Adafruit Circuit Playground Express yesterday and started following the HackadayU: LED Programming with Arduino and FastLED course. It's a really neat little board and helpful course. I mostly just started getting accustomed to the process of programming an LED matrix.

Second day with Arduino
09/17/2020 at 13:55 • 0 commentsI got some LED's and hooked up the potentiometer sketch from yesterday to a 5mm white LED and a 1k resistor to make it dimmable. The code was uploaded from the Arduino Examples, 03.Analog>AnalogInOutSerial and I followed along this video by Afrotechmods.

First day with Arduino
09/16/2020 at 09:32 • 0 commentsSo after many years of procrastination, I have finally taken the time to sit down and start learning Arduino. I bought an Arduino Uno starter kit (Geekcreit) almost 5 years ago and it has been sitting around gathering dust. Hackaday.io seems like a great platform to document my journey, so here we go!
This video by eTech Tom was a great introduction to understanding the basics of bread-boarding using an Arduino. I then watched this video and ran my first Arduino sketch using the 01.Basics>AnalogReadSerail example sketch in the Arduino IDE with a B10K potentiometer.
