-====== Learning Arduino ======
+===== Learning Arduino =====
-====== Requirements ======
+This guide will get you through learning the Arduino platform, regardless if you've had previous exposure to microcontrollers or not.
-If you've had previous exposure to microcontrollers you'll definitely feel at home. In fact, you might find it way easier that what you've had to do before.
+From here, visit the [[ https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage| Arduino homepage ]] to start working with Arduino. From there, follow the corrosponding links and guides on how to install and use the Arduino IDE. Once you've installed the Arduino IDE and set up your Arduino board, please go through the following examples to ensure everything is set up correctly:
+    - Bare Minimum
+    - Blink
+    - Blink Without Delay
-Otherwise, if you haven't, don't worry. You can get a great start with the Arduino platform and use it to start building your foundational knowledge about microcontrollers.
-====== A Word of Caution ======
+Things might still be confusing at this point - [[ https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Foundations | this page ]] might help clear up some things. It might be your benefit to skim through some of those materials.
-The Arduino does tend to abstract many things - it's important to understand that the inner workings of the Arduino are not that magical. There is a deep pool of EE-related knowledge underneath that abstraction that you can understand if you take the time to carefully consider what is happening.
+Also, if in doubt - as for clarification or help! Other teams may be available, your mentors are there to help you and the leadership team is always there.
+==== Assignments ====
+  - Were you able to program the Arduino?
+  - Did you have any problems during the Arduino process?
+  - What you think is the next step after this?
