Wise Old Toolmaker

Buy an Arduino Uno from China on ebay, about $2, Download the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and the CH340 USB driver for the Clone USB chip..

Plug in the USB on the Arduino, load up the IDE and you will be flashing an LED within two minutes. The Arduino is meant for school kids to use, so if they can, you can. I very rarely have to write much code as most of the things you want to do have already been done, so it becomes cut and paste and modify a little. To use an LCD display, plug it into the Arduino after downloading the Library foor the LCD, copy and paste the code that others have written and the LCD will be filled with your text when you run the sketch.

I have a DC servo running on an Arduino and it is as good as a stepper motor, has step and direction inputs but much more powerful than a stepper motor.. That was a cut, paste and modify code job.

Just a word of warning, the clock runs much faster when you play with Arduinos.

We are always here to help.

Hi Mark,



Good job!

I wish I possessed some of your electronic skills.

I did attempt to make a start learning the basics though.

A couple of years ago I checked a book out at the local
library "Arduino for Dummies" and it was somewhat
interesting but I didn't buy a kit to play with, so I
didn't learn as much as I could have. But at least I now
have a basic understanding of what Arduino is and does.
