Hi I am picking up a previous unfinished project from another student. He was working with an
aero-pendulum, my professor tells me he wants to use an Arduino to control the pendulum. I have never worked with an Arduino before so any advice to help me get started is appreciate it! My main concern is what pins will I use how to connect wires etc. etc. etc.
Thanks!!

Before starting a project like this, buy an Arduino and go through the simple examples that come with the IDE (programming software). You will need to learn the language and the special functions of the Arduino.

There's really no shortcut, and you will find it beneficial in the long run if you start with the examples here.
Only when you have mastered the concepts there, especially BlinkwithoutDelay and StateChangeDetection, should you move to the specifics of your complex project. IMO, anyway.
I read some articles but and seen a few codes. Writing the code will not be so difficult. And I will see into the examples listed. Thanks
