Vs6gy:
Just had a birthday 'present , a book, "Arduino projects for Amateur Radio ", ! Why ? I'm not quite sure , because being a bit 'long in the tooth' I think it's going to be a struggle to 'get to grips with . I accept that, for starters, I will have to get , say, the Uno board plus possibly the 'breadboard/ pegboard ? . , then the actual programming,, .Why not ask an appropriate forum for help in this direction !? I am really asking for starting advice. . Am I right in saying the Uno is my starter, or should I concentrate on the book only ?
By the way, jumping ahead a bit, I would be interested in trying my hand -- eventually !, at variable capacitor measurement !! Ambitious ?? or hopeful . Any sound advice , would be greatly welcome. Thank you
I personally think the official Arduino Starter Kit with book is the best place to start.
$100 on Amazon.
If you don't want to pay that much, the Elegoo Super Starter kit for $35 that includes parts and tutorial on a CD would be an excellent value.
I started with the Arduino Workshop book but it doesn't come with any parts for the projects in the book.
