    One of the best tutorials of ANY kind you'll see here. No anoying music, no glitches with mics or camera, clearly spoken, planed ahead so he knows what the hell he wants to say before he says it. Outstanding. Not a wasted moment.

      Your right-Half way through I was wondering how I could be watching a tutorial on You Tube without feeling the usual compulsion to violently attack someone. The reason (of course) - no stupid annoying drum beating background R&R/ Pop Muzak.

      It's totally the opposite of those tutorials that say, "Now you go over here and click this, and then you change the value over there..." HUH? WHAT? WHERE? I didn't see that.
      Yes, it's planned ahead. If those other tutorials were giving GPS driving instructions, they would be saying, "Turn left at the--Oh you just missed it. The place back there. Might as well go home and start over."
      And no annoying music. I've seen questions online asking, "What music should I use with my video of (how to bake a cake) (me riding my horse) (how to teach ASL) ??" Well, how about NO MUSIC AT ALL?

MIO's and the full spectrum of test equipment. It's really satisfying after releasing a completed test large enough it takes roughly 1 year of design, programming, debug and release. Arduino's are a great way to get in and explore the automation world, where you truly get to take a thought and turn it into a product

    I love this tutorial!, It's very brief, detailed, and presented with a high image quality (I've seen other videos). I'm looking forward to watch the crystal resonator tutorial. So far I haven't gotten a grasp on them ... I understand they vibrate reaching a super high frequency but I yet don't understand how it controls the CPU speed. Thanks a LOT!!

    • @Afrotechmods
      @Afrotechmods  7 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      Imagine those high frequency vibrations caused high frequency changes in voltage. Then imagine there was some circuitry to convert those small voltage changes into a clearly defined square wave of a certain frequency. Then that square wave (the "clock") tells transistors in a CPU when to switch!

    • @JasonMasters
      @JasonMasters 7 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Quartz has the strange characteristic that if you squeeze or stretch a crystal made of it, a voltage with a particular polarity is developed across the crystal. This also works in reverse so that if you put a voltage across the crystal, it tends to either compress or expand slightly, depending on the polarity of the applied voltage.
      When a quartz crystal is cut to a specific shape and size, it will tend to vibrate at a particular frequency and only at that frequency if an oscillating electric current is applied across it. With a little electric circuitry to support it, the crystal can be made to oscillate (vibrate) at only that frequency, and the oscillations can be detected and used to drive circuits such as computers at a very precise rate.
      Computer CPUs need a clock signal in order to keep everything running together. For example, you don't want a register to try to latch in a data byte from memory before the memory has had time to supply that data byte. The clock signal is used to make sure that everything runs at the same speed. A quartz crystal is a convenient way of supplying that clock signal.
      An RC oscillator can be used instead, but it's not as precise as a crystal. Some things such as serial communications require a more precise clock signal than can be supplied using an RC oscillator, so a crystal oscillator is usually used instead.

    8:26 In case anyone is wondering, some potentiometers come with the pins on different sides. The side with 2 pins are the side pins and the side with one pin is the center pin. This is meant to be connected to a breadboard.

    10:58 i remember doing this tutorial at school except we weren’t told to put a resistor in the circuit...later i used that same arduino for a robot project and it was always faulty. It never worked properly even though the coding was correct and all. I wondered for so long why it wouldn’t work and now I’m convinced the pin is ruined as mentioned at 11:06 or that the motors themselves were broken...

It can navigate our home with ease...and with a little creative copy and pasting we managed to get it to make some noise via a oscillating op-amp when moving so we can know where it is...add a couple lights and it is a nice little dude. My 8 year old loves it.

      they didn't create a programming language.
      Arduino uses C++ and their created arduino C++ library
      The avr-gcc compiler (for avr based boards) is used in the background
      avr C++ does not provide stl lib with vector and stuff from C++ PC programing, because memory too tiny for the avr
      so avr C++ coding style is more like "c with objects"
