This week Michael has the chance to sit down with Dr. Katharina Bredies, the brain behind ‘The Light Curtain’, an interactive textile powered by Arduino.

Katharina walks Michael through the design and implementation of this unique...

I don't know about you, but I really enjoy playing board games with friends. I like talking, eating good snacks, and just having some friendly competition. But it seems like every time I play a board game with a group of friends, there's...

A walk through of serial communication.

A description of what variables are, how they are used, and a useful analogy to understanding them.

I would say that arrays are one of the most useful programming tools available. Every programming language that I'm familiar with, at least, has some form of an array. If you're trying to learn a new programming language, one of the...

Many microcontrollers come equipped with a simple way to communicate serially – using a USART. USART stands for Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter.



Wow – that’s one heck of...

A look at the Arduino circuit board and its prominent features.

In the last lesson you learned about using the analogRead() function to collect data from a sensor connected to one of the Arduino' analog pins. The range of data we received from the...

A description of the incremental design process and why and how it should be used.

In the last lesson we learned about the "If statement". The "If statement" was the perfect choice for setting up instructions to run only when certain conditions are met. "If 30 seconds...

A smart home temperature and humidity reading device that outputs results onto a 1602A LCD display. Use of Arduino Nano microcontroller with board shield and a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor. Use of mBlock 3 for coding purposes.

One of the biggest advancements in programming in the last few decades is called object oriented programming. Many of the most used programming languages today, including Java, are object oriented. This means that programmers...
