Learning the Basics of Arduino and Programming

The LittleArm and LittleArm 2C both use an Arduino to operate. An Arduino is what is called a microcontroller. It is basically a small computer that can be quickly reprogrammed to control motors. But that programming part is the tough component.

So we are going to spend several posts writing very basic tutorials and making some quick videos about the very basics of using the Arduino and programming in general. 

We are going to try to create worksheets to go with these tutorials so that teachers can use our lessons in the classroom. 

As we said we will be using videos for explainations. They are going to follow the format of the video below.

The first posts that will be going out will be on programming constructs like loops and "if" statements. If there is a topic that you want us to touch on let us know in the comments.
