| - | ====== Prerequisites ====== | + | 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: |
| - | + | ||
| - | 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. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 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 ====== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 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. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Refer back to the embedded systems concepts you covered earlier when you get confused conceptually. | + | |

| 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. | Things might still be confusing at this point - [[ https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Foundations | this page ]] might help clear up some things.
