If you want to get a visceral (and fun) understanding of programming, start with an Arduino. Written by David Gewirtz, Senior Contributing Editor Sept. 27, 2016 at 6:02 a.m. PT ...

By now most of us are familiar with the Arduino platform. It’s an inexpensive and fairly easy way into the world of microcontrollers. For plenty of projects, there’s no need to go beyon… ...

If you are just getting started with Arduino it would be beneficial to go through our introductory power points on using Arduino. These presentations and code can be found here (194 Mb zip download).

Students will create three simple circuits highlighting analog and digital forms of input and output, get started with the Arduino programming environment, and briefly discuss programming and virtual ...

We will use Arduino boards, ultrasonic sensors, and basic electronic components to build a simple obstacle detection system. In the end, participants will compete to build a more advanced system and ...

Sparki is mostly geared toward education, with a suggested age of 11 and up. But there's nothing stopping adults from using Sparki as an easy introduction to Arduino programming.

Learn electronics, programming, and physical computing concepts by building projects. Included in the course kit is: Arduino-Compatible Uno R3 Breadboard – 400 holes (5.5 x 8.5 cm) USB A-male to ...

If you don't have an Arduino (or haven't at least played with one), it's a worthy endeavor. The board sells for about $35 on its own or you can get a kit starting at about twice that, which is ...

I'll be focusing more on I/O and analog based microcontrollers, such as those running Arduino, and using Atmel chips as examples (these are most commonly available, and easy to program).

Below there is the fantastic Arduino documentary. It's a few months old but it was really well done and has a lot of info you might not know about the origins of Arduino and why it came to be.
