Great video and thanks. This Arduino light dimmer seems to elementary for newbies (like me) to be able to use the idea to develop other hardware. Could you please can you do a video using a more involving function like rotary encoder or potentiometer.
Olajide Oyekunle There are examples on our wiki: siminnovations.com/wiki/index.php?title=RPi_IO_Connection_examples It's targeted to the Raspberry Pi, but it's just a matter of using different pin names and numbers.
Some feedback : between the 2 and 3 minute mark , you access and display 10 different pages . If it was evenly divided that's 6 seconds a page to understand what the page is , how you got there ,read and digest its contents and understand how that particular action fits into the scheme of things . In the mix is notepad , wiki pages , arduino cc page , AM pages. It is difficult to follow the flow . If this video was a textbook it is jumping from a one page to another and another without warning and without a premptive explanation for why we are going there. I find it impossible to follow without replaying it many times but more importantly there is no explanation of why things are being done this way. Computer programming is foreign territory for me . Please , please treat me like a 5 year old fool who needs to be led by the nose. Because I really want to master this aspect of AM. Please this is feedback , not criticism.
Programming / coding takes a lot of persistence, but it's also a matter of just doing it. Try the examples, change things and see what happens. But... letting an LED blink is simple. When you really want to do things, you will have to start subscribing to the simulator for data, setting switch states, etc... It's not something that can be easily put into one video. I would suggest starting to watch the instrument development tutorial, to get to know the basics: th-cam.com/video/lLvlqMBq20Y/w-d-xo.html Eventually hardware functions will be explained as well. But there's enough to digest before you get there :-)

Ralph Rietveld thanks a bunch. Your response was golden...so quick! Thanks again. Am a Nigerian air force aviator by the way.
Olajide Oyekunle No problem. Let me know when the airforce wants to build a simulator ;-)
I couldn't find out how to link a video, have to try again soon. For now the link is in the description.
Thanks :D
