Should a beginner programmer buy an arduino?

Question

linux

I am now learning to program, I am also interested in robotics.
I heard you can learn a lot with arduino.
Please tell me what you need to know to interact with arduino?
And, if not difficult, advise where you can buy and what is the best variation to start with.
Thank you.

Answer 1

amperka.ru/product/matryoshka-z is
a wonderful set just for beginners, only Y bought the same one for himself.
wiki.amperka.ru
here you will find a lot of useful information on working with arduino.

Answer 2

to start, you can look at Jeremy's lessons on the same ampere
if you need an arduino quickly and at a price it doesn’t matter - then as they said in an ampere, if you need it cheaper and the time doesn’t matter, then there are a million of them, and they cost a penny, I bought it many times - although clones but compatible, you can also buy sensors there.
for starters, don’t think about taking an arduino uno, then you can take another mega256, or vice versa micro and nano (super cheap and miniature). on uno, the plus is that you can easily put any shields, but on others there may be nuances. to study anyway, the number of legs is enough for her, almost all manuals are also described for her.

Answer 3

Costs. But you need to understand that Arduino is not only programming, but also electronics.

Answer 4

To "interact" you need to know how to connect the USB cable. For programming - the basics of C. For the manufacture of real devices, especially the level above "blinking an LED" or "displaying the temperature from the sensor on the screen", knowledge of a soldering iron and electronics at the level of at least a Soviet radio club is highly desirable.
Seriously, I have no idea how to learn arduino programming. But having knowledge of programming specifically, they can be successfully applied in arduino devices, which will allow you to create really interesting and complex things, rather than compiling from standard sketches. As an example of a complex task, a sine generator based on the DDS principle is purely on Arduino, without additional specialized microcircuits;)

Answer 5

Yes.
But only for the very basics of the basics.
Everything is so simple there.

Answer 6

It is useless and unproductive to "learn Arduino" and even alone. I understand that every sandpiper praises his swamp, but in real life, join the RoboTraffic competition and in six months you will understand Arduino inside and out. And at the same time, learn how to program for controllers in passing (at the level of a decent user, of course;))

Answer 7

I recommend taking it to Ali, Arduino Uno (about 300 rubles), + necessarily wiring, breadboard, LEDs. I recommend looking at YouTube videos from Soldering TV, there are links to ALI lots under the videos.
