Arduino is designed to allow you to execute code without all the fuss of dealing with an operating system. And since it does one thing and only one thing at a time, it’s really, really easy to use.

Arduino simplifies things by only using just one coding language. Here's what you need to get started with developing software for the tiny device.

To start, you need to buy an Arduino. It comes pre-assembled or, for those handy with a soldering iron, in kit form. A fully assembled Diecimila board from the excellent Make costs just $35.

You can upload and delete code from your Arduino as much as you like. To get started, I recommend purchasing one of the larger starter bundles so you have all the different pieces you need to run ...

How to connect the TSOP4838 to an Arduino to read the transmitted codes By using a cheap integrated IR receiver/decoder device (the venerable TSOP4838), most of the hard work is done for you!

Re-write some simple code outside the IDE and make sure that you can link to the Arduino core code. Then replace bits of the core with your own code and make sure it still works.

But what about using an SBC like the Raspberry Pi to build codes for your Arduino boards? As luck would have it, its entirely possible to do so, and this article will help you create, debug, and ...

To build this, you'll need various parts, including a frame, housing, motors, an Arduino, and a camera. The original designer, Alex Korvin, has provided a comprehensive list of all the parts used ...
