Even though I know all this stuff, Colin's Lab has always been one of my favorite video segments! Used to watch it on Make, but I am glad that you are continuing on adafruit. The only thing I would like is more frequent videos, but I can't complain.
As always Collin's lab is a brilliant video with super easy to understand instructions and examples with a perfect mix of Collin's personality! Keep it up more Collin's Lab!!!
The video presentation is just perfect! I may have done most of the stuff you are showing .. but I could not have beaten you in presenting it this way! .. accept my upvote!
+Adafruit Industries I got the pot to control the light but I could only get it to turn it off/on instead of fading in/out. My code is identical to his. Any ideas?
+Samuel West Have you connected your pot input to analog pin 0 (A)? In his code, where he reads the pot input, he reads it from analog input 0. But in the setup(), he still has it as pin 7 (digital), which ideally doesn't matter (if you are not using that), but I can see it may cause confusion. So go ahead and connect your pot to A0, if you haven't already. Also don't worry about setting A0 pin as input, that is optional.
You are actually quite inspiring, dude. I've following you from a while now. And I really love to see and re watch your vids. Thanks, man. Regards from sunny Costa Rica
This is an amazing well thought-out and easy to understand video. You set a standard on explaining I wish everyone had. Thank you for this explanation.
Would love to see a whole series just like this, about learning to use all sorts of functions, with Collin of course. This was a really great video! Great job guys! =)
Congrats Adafruit on the partnership with Massimo big stuff and Love the products. Collin thank you and love the lab sessions, always a dapper lad. Reminds me of some agent from the matrix but with good human intentions and better dressed. Would love to see more rocketry products but understand the complications, trust me.
I would suggest doing an evil genuis series and do some mild makeup and jacob's ladder, plasma ball. Starring Colin, your dead(or undead)pan humour would play perfect.
Great introduction to Arduino video! I'd love to see a video or videos going over simple electrical engineering concepts such as resistors and capacitors.
Hello I also have an Arduino and are still getting pretty used to it but there are two things I need to know.How does ground connection work.I've always been used to 2 cord but now there is 3.Also my computer is pretty jacked up is there any way I can input code manually with some device I can make.Can anyone help.Thanks. Collins vids are awesome.
I want to make a 24hr timer that that controls a stepper motor to open a small door in the morning and close it at night. I don't want to have limit switches I want it to be like a little cnc. Open loop.
Hello, i have a lipo battery 11.1V 3300mAh 30c. I wonder if it can be straight connected to Vin pin of arduino? I am afraid that it will burn my arduino pin by high current suddenly flow into Vin. Urgent, please reply. Thank you.
I found lots of schematics to solder an arduino online and I'm going to try them on a breadboard and see which ones I like, also does anyone know if you put two ATMega chips in the same circuit, will the storage space and speed be doubled?
Because on Arduino the analogRead gives 10 bit output, but analogWrite takes only 8 bit input. Now 2^10 is 1024, but 2^8 is 256. So 1024/256 is 4. So he mapped the 10 bits to 8 bit by ignoring 2 bits on LSB side (divide by 4 is just right shift by 2 bits).
it might be a great video but the background nagging noise "music" makes it very hard at least for me to even get into this - who's the great producer who determined that some loud background repetitive annoying sound must accompany these videos to make them professional???!!!

same
Collin is one of the best and funniest electronics professor on you tube . I only wish he had more tutorial videos .
Collin could make a video about watching paint dry and I would still watch it. Favorite TH-camr for sure : )
He'd be like "at first glance this may appear as simple paint drying, but let's look deeper" 😂😂
@Shepherd Kyler Nah maybe some other time
I'm so happy that this series exists. Thank you Collin!
As always Collin's lab is a brilliant video with super easy to understand instructions and examples with a perfect mix of Collin's personality! Keep it up more Collin's Lab!!!
Collin's Lab is the best thing since Radio Shack.
This guy is amazing. His videos on Make where wonderful. Just now realised he had vids here.
Collin sir, you makes it so easy to understand.. thanks... Hope to see you more

Samuel, you need to use a PWM pin, marked with ~
How can you blank post on TH-cam comments?
What a nice surprise to find a video from Collin that I haven't seen! Great one - you re-invigorate me to want to make stuff.
You are actually quite inspiring, dude. I've following you from a while now. And I really love to see and re watch your vids. Thanks, man. Regards from sunny Costa Rica
Really professionally produced and so useful. Now I'm scanning for more episodes...
Can you also do a video for Raspberry Pi?
This is an amazing well thought-out and easy to understand video. You set a standard on explaining I wish everyone had. Thank you for this explanation.

another awesome vid by Collin, hope to see you at maker faire this weekend! :D
Finally the best video for understanding what arduino is. Thanks
just bought my first ever one of these. thanks so much for all your videos collin!
I love Arduino, it's like Lego with electronics.
Great for mechanical engineers like me!
This really blows my mind! Thanks for the great tutorial!
programmingelectronics.com is the BEST resource to learn Arduino. The videos are entertaining as well as informative.
What's up with the color of it? it looks... different
They changed it recently. The new ones are a bit harder to find as most supplies still stock the old ones
+HTFCirno2000 yeah, It's all chromed up. XD, it looked more shiny.
Colin your videos are awesome! I love that you explain everything so well, even a noob like me can understand! Thank you so much!
Just kamal
I just love his style of explaining..
Very interning
Intriguing
First time to watch Collin's Lab, Great video and a needed intro to the arduino..I needed a one! Great Job Collin..Great Job Adafruit :)
This guy is awesome! Great tag line at the end,
Great job, Collin! I really appreciate your videos.
Classy and cool video series. Thanks for your help!! Looking forward to more down the road. Happy Holidays.
one of the greatest invention ever invented
Collin, thanks for not running thru these tutorials.. some other youtubers are a blur!
Gret video for an intro to Arduino, but the links at the end to Collin's other video's (PCB milling and Solar) don't work
zen updated!
I would suggest doing an evil genuis series and do some mild makeup and jacob's ladder, plasma ball. Starring Colin, your dead(or undead)pan humour would play perfect.
I like your videos. I like the tone in the intro as well.
Thanks for the hard work and effort. You are clear and concise!
Great introduction. At 3:11 you use a pull up resistor can'nt you give the input directly 5V or whatever voltage?
Great introduction to Arduino video! I'd love to see a video or videos going over simple electrical engineering concepts such as resistors and capacitors.
Love ya Collin.! Definitely on the list: "I'd like to have a beer with." Thanks
After trying this, you can replace the loop logic with a single line of code: digitalWrite(3, digitalRead(7));
I love this guy and his videos what ever happened to him? NO more videos??
I LOVE THIS GUY!! HE USED TO BE ON MAKE!!!!
comprehensive ,cool explanation.Thank you
The Alton Brown of electronics, I love this guy.
I'm so glad I found this.
Great video!! Keep them coming please!
Really enjoy these videos
Very nice. Makes me want to shop at adafruit... and today I did! :)
Sir, I want to know the difference between the aurdino uno & arduino REES52. which 1 is best for beginners & which 1 is advanced thing...
Hello I also have an Arduino and are still getting pretty used to it but there are two things I need to know.How does ground connection work.I've always been used to 2 cord but now there is 3.Also my computer is pretty jacked up is there any way I can input code manually with some device I can make.Can anyone help.Thanks.

im an electrical engineer and i still watched this video and i'm not sure why XP
Alyx BioHaz buhahhah because u are electrical engineering that's why u are watching this

A video like this for the Raspberry Pi would be great too!
Why does he divided by 4 the input value fron the potentiometer when setting it as the analog output for the LED?
Thanks for your answers
Pardon me for asking. But that arduino seems a little to green. Isn't the ones purchased from the arduino suppliers blue?
Another Arduino video, yawn, skip; Oh wait it's Collin!? Watching intently.
I found lots of schematics to solder an arduino online and I'm going to try them on a breadboard and see which ones I like, also does anyone know if you put two ATMega chips in the same circuit, will the storage space and speed be doubled?
i thought it would work because two 555s increase flash rate and two 4017s create a longer knight rider
Very clear presentation.
best explanation ever
Okay here is what I want to do, I wish to detect then eliminate the effect of gravity waves on a mass. How do I do that using an arduino? [SAC]
KKuurus what?
KKuurus I'll take two!
What's the difference between an Arduino and the Raspberry Pi and its GPIO pins?
Bro can we program another ic using arduino ? (I meam can we copy this tested commands to another ).
I agree, good overview.
I would kill to have this dudes knowledge
What programming language is that?
We need more !
this guy is epic
So the language of the arduino is Javascript?
can anypne tell me if i can use tweezers in order to connect wires /jump wires etc
Best response: Anything.
i really like the color of that LED.
Can someone recommend some resource to learn how to do basic code like shown in the video please
Sir ,in the potentiometer project y did u divide the variable by 4?
I was asking myself the same thing. Didn't understand that part.
Because on Arduino the analogRead gives 10 bit output, but analogWrite takes only 8 bit input. Now 2^10 is 1024, but 2^8 is 256. So 1024/256 is 4. So he mapped the 10 bits to 8 bit by ignoring 2 bits on LSB side (divide by 4 is just right shift by 2 bits).
you should put the pin number (3) into a variable, or better yet, write a function where the pin number is a parameter
Why is the uno green?
Can I do the same thing with a Raspberry Pi?
How to make our own ardiuno?
Good job sir
How do I use an Arduino to tap a 10Gbps fiber cable?
this video made me buy an Arduino.
You forgot to mention that only PWM digital pins (marked with a ~) can output analog signals.
thank you this informations. it is really help to me.
Cảm ơn nhiều!
Thank you so much!
Good Show
Cool video
How do I tell if my arduino is a knockoff, because I have an UNO but it has a different board layout
how fast do you type?
ive got three UNOs
1 SMD
2 through hole
I don't want to run loop. What to do?
Very cool video
Why not the leonardo?
2:18 I call this piece 'Man in Thought'
7:16 the better question is, what can't you do with an Arduino?
Was this hard to learn?
It's the Emergency Medical Hologram from Voyager!!
He's very cool...
awesome
it might be a great video but the background nagging noise "music" makes it very hard at least for me to even get into this - who's the great producer who determined that some loud background repetitive annoying sound must accompany these videos to make them professional???!!!
Thank you... 1-)
1:35 dat debugging code face
