In this video, we're going to learn about the Arduino platform for micro-controllers. It seems like a lot of people confuse the Arduino (and hence micro-controllers) with the Raspberry Pi, and they have very different uses. Let's talk about them briefly, and I'll even show you how I am using Arduino Mega 2560s in my R2-D2 build! (This video has been updated to correct an error in the original video.)

Sorry guys! Due to a major error in this video, I decided to correct it and upload an updated version. I had incorrectly stated that the analog input puts could also do analog output. Feel free to re-like, re-share, and re-comment.

Honestly man, we all respect you for having the humility to admit your mistake and correct it. At the same time, I'm not sure it was the best business decision you could have made. On this platform, you're always going to have to weigh the two on some level. Again, major respect. Can't say that enough.

Yeah! I'd rather have quality videos. Thank you so much for your comment.

4:09 I don't know why but it makes me smile every time I see a 9V battery clip wired to a barrel connector. 🤗

I would be interested in seeing a series on how to get started with Arduinos. Of course I've heard of them, but honestly didn't know really what they actually were until this video, thinking them to be something like a dumbed-down Raspberry Pi. I would like to get one & start playing just based on this high-level review, but know there's a lot more to it than what's presented here. Building R2D2 obviously means you're an expert with them...

Cool video Mike! I'm also interested how you build the body of that R2.

I was surprised to figure out that the IDE can even be ran on a Raspberry Pi and works great. And that keystudio board I have as well. Only $9 for the entire board. Crazy! I hope that FPGAs can eventually get something as easy to use, inexpensive, and portable as well as Arduino.

Funny you bring this up, in my R2-D2 I actually use the RPi to program the Arduinos remotely.

What a shame, the original video had already many views. Greetings from Mexico.

I know, but I felt it was more important the video was correct.

I respect that he has prioritized being factually correct over having more views on a video.

Hows the R2 project coming along?

Usually people don’t mention that the objective of arduino is to PROGRAM the Atmega. After you flashed it, you remove the atmega from the arduino and use it directly in your projects. Without the arduino board.

@amihartz 5 жыл бұрын

For the Uno, yes. The Uno is basically an ATMega328P development board. But some of the other boards you can't remove the microcontroller.

@TheGeekPub 5 жыл бұрын

This is true for through hole style Arduinos, but many of the boards shipping today are the surface mount ATmega328P which can't be removed.

@sjm4306 5 жыл бұрын

I use the boards along with breadboards and dupont wires to rapid prototype and then when I'm ready I spin a board for the smd version of the chip so I can get things nice and small/convenient.

The arduino is definetly not a programming board. It is a development board, so you don't need to design and manufacture a board to test your ideas. You're better of making/buying a real programming board or placing ICSP on your project, because otherwise you can throw away your dev board, the 328p needs to be flashed with arduino bootloader to be able to be programmed in the dev board.
