I think one of the major problems with a lot of guides/tutorials on IOT stuff/maker videos is that people show you how to complete a project but never explain, how/why it works. So then you can never really transfer some of that knowledge to other projects on different boards...
For example they will tell you what pins you need to solder/where to plug pins in on your breadboard, to a certain sensor but it's never really explained why you need to use those certain ones, and how it works.
I've been messing around with Arduino's, Pi's and other smaller boards like Adafruit's Feather line for almost a year now, and most of the guides I've come across just tell me how to complete the specific project, the scope of the tutorials are very limited and focused on only, like you said "Making it work", not really too much detail into how/why it works. This has led me to have to do A TON of research on my own, which often times leaves me more confused than when I was in the first place.
Don't get me wrong there are a ton of good guides/tutorials out there, but a majority of them are just getting something specific to work, and not really going any further than that. If I didn't have a strong desire to constantly learn new things about networking, programming, security, hardware, etc ; I would've probably already given up because nobody wants to just follow other peoples guides, they want to build their OWN projects and show other people: "This is what I made, this is how it functions, this is why it works like that, and this is what you can do to achieve the same end result".

I agree. I am doubting whether to purchase this now. I'm not interested in plug this here okay it works but we won't explain why. Now I'm studying for a Bachelors in Computer Engineering, so I'll probably pick up on it fast, but I rather look for something a bit more advance then okay plug this here and okay done.
If you look up the channels bigclive or greatscott they explain what and why and when to use each parts/components
does anyone know of any kits that go into detail about why it works? I'm recently getting into these things and I know how to do it, but I really want to know why it works, like you said.
@@sebastianbledsoe4793 I recently bought two Arduinos after watching the breadboard computer series by Ben Eater (it's on TH-cam). I have no desire to build the breadboard computer, but it made me understand how simple computers and microcontrollers work, and left me with a desire to do simple hardware-centric programming.
Best thing to do when you can't find the kind of video your looking for is make one. Let me know when your done. I need all the help I can get.
Great video. Especially the beginning and the discussion "Why buy a kit instead of buying everything separately?" is something that more people should hear, understand and apply.
best part is where he squeezes 7 sponsors into 60 seconds. classic
So glad to see you're doing classes again!
In case you didn't know what a man page is, it's the Unix term for command manuals, it explains how a specific command works and what you can do with it.
nice idear! I'm glad you started doing tutorials again
You can connect the - & + on both sides so you can put components in the middle
Robot car? That's big boy Legos! Definitely interested.

Hi Eli, thanks for the video. What kind of headset and speaker is that you're wearing? It looks very cool...
Great review Eli, seems a fun and interesting place to start
No affiliate links available for audrino? Thanks for the in depth video.
Keep it up with arduino, thats cool side of electronics
Still debating which starter kit to buy. I have read that there are a lot of typos, or wrong info in that book. It IS a LOT more money for the original arduino starter kit, than an after market one. But I do see some brands that have 4 or more stars from customers.
Hi Eli, Okay. I watched your beginning arduino you tube program. I’m setting in front of an Apple iPad connected to the Arduino and now what.
There is a unzip file on the screen and I’m dead in the water. Help if you please.Dave
does the book come with the kit ? nice video
I love this kit, was a great introduction to electrical engineering. the Arduino IDE using spaces instead of tabs drove me nuts though haha
Not sure if serious or Silicon Valley reference. lol
I’m new to your videos but I know exactly what you mean about community gatekeeping - buying kits saves a tonne of time and time is precious.
Thanks for the tutorial
Pls how do i get a copy of arduino programming book n the starter kit?
Love the video. I am going to buy a starter kit. I know NOTHING about electronics and circuitry, so this is perfect.
By the way, I have built my own gaming PC back in 2014, so I know to avoid buying off the shelf prebuilt PCs. I can put together my own.
A starter kit. It's for starters! I say do what makes you feel comfortable. Ignore the nay sayers out there!
The best Arduino for breadboarding is the Arduino Nano - if it has the header pins it plugs straight into the breadboard - no trailing jumper wires. You can get them for just a few dollars each on ebay. Where the Uno excels is for flashing individual AVR chips.
Unrelated, Eli has some kickass t-shirts.
i thought that photovoltaic sensor was an LED, so i tried to put it in my first circuit... no wonder y it didnt work, i thought it was broken or something cuz i bought it in china
Wow, I got the mega starter kit for 1/3 that price. It had the plastic storage box and a lot more thing in it. I think it was $10 off, but even then it would have been half the price.
man idk I literally just started learning this stuff a few weeks ago this seems like a really high price tag for a book you can get somewhere else
I agree with you about Arduino. but I still.....having trouble with trouble shooting the Arduino thing. for some reason mine looks teal............................................. and I just found out I have USB2.0 cable the kit came with and My MacBook Air supports USB3.0 cable ports not 2.0. because I looked the system Information>Hardware>USB>USB device tree and bottom panel bar in the window and guess what it supports 3.0 ports,.....of course because it supports my 3.0 San Disk flash drives....and I may need to verify the USB3.0 cable device in terminal,....maybe.......
Just turn the piezo sideways and useee like pins 5 and nine on the edge. that way you have more points to use.
Thing that you need to remember that the Arduino name is a group of
boards that can be program with the Arduino IDE. The think that is
neat is that the Arduino IDE is really a Compile for all of
the different micro processor that are connected with the arduino
name.
It sounds like this is more of a familiarization than a textbook. Not necessarily a bad thing. Just that this will get you comfortable with what the system can do, but will require more technical training for custom applications and optimization at a systems integration level.
Yeah with the arduino youtube is probably your best friend.
was it a cobra? 5:52? :D
True story. I bought a budget Arduino kit and it took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out it was the hardware that wasn't working correctly.
am tech lit (embedded engineer). we all start somewhere. main problem with arduino (avr processor) board approach is debugging support. unless you like serial messages. jtag possible of course. that said arduino is good fun..all can enter. bulb twitchers to cnc to...
I think, for best learning results, you should learn from an electronics course and use this as an accompany to that learning.
Here you can do the project, and there you learn the reasons behind that.
I want to begin looking into ARM projects also - I'll probably buy both the Arduino & STM32
I'm just wondering how did you get big on youtube
Even though i know how the Arduino works, i can't seem to be able to wrap my head around programming. Any book recommendations for programming for beginners?
Just grab automating the boring stuff with python ma bro is a really good book
My first book was a hardcore C++ book and I dont remember if they covered the basics but I was lucky to have a class in highschool that did where you get to learn about variables and functions. And thats all it is basically ,variables and functions... Variables - data, either gotten or predefined, and functions - predetermined steps in what to do with this data. Most of these IDE's have predefined functions and variables that let you do things like pineMode(1, OUTPUT) . pinMode being the predefined function in this case that does something - sets a pin as output. Its a function acting on variables. These variabels also predefined, well 1 really isnt, it just expects a range between 1 and whatever, OUTPUT is predefined, and so is the function pinMode, its just up to you to know how to use it. The point being all programs are just functions working on variables, either ones we learn to use or ones we make ourselves. You can make a function called pinCode(X,Z,Y,1,2,3) and have it take any amount of variables and do want. Most of the time when working with these kits your learning someone elses functions which can be confusing even for people who know how to program because we didnt write these functions so dont understand the steps to make them work ,we just have to learn that you need to set the pin to output before you use it, theres no reason other than thats how they set things up, and when you make your own programs you'll also set things up arbitrarily and someone else might be asking why , which is the beauty of progamming, theres many ways to the same thing. So theres a lot of un-intuative setup code when learning API's which can be confusing but again, its just functions acting on variables to get thigns done, and usually have to be done in a certain order to setup a pin or a 3d view of a scene or what have you. You can say a program is like a circuit, its has only a few differnt components, but they can do many different things, and its the organiztion of it all thats more confusing than anything.
@@mikejones-vd3fg Thank you for your kindness and for taking the time to breakdown and simplify such a complex subject as programing.
A way to use the potentiometer better in the breadboard is soldering some wires to the pins of the potentiometer and then use the wires to connect to the breadboard.
+IFSC Robotics ... I agree and for real projects I'll definitely pull out the soldering iron... but that goes a bit beyond what I'd call "starter"...
Maybe soldering well would go beyond starter, when I first started with electronics I pick up a piece of copper, draw some circuit to power up a led and put into the acid, when the soldering part came I soldered on the wrong side kkk
how do you learn code for Arduio
how to use GPRS SHIELD
I think it trys to appeal to
high school kids, both boys and girls.
Thus the "colourful" content.
You can learn basic stepper and servo motor electronics.
Some guys are retro fitting
small manual mills and lathes into cnc machines.
There is enough info in this kit to get you started doing this.
More use then temp sensor id say.
What book would you recommend to fully understand Arduino ?
see Udemy free video courses
I get it's a starter kit and all but I got all this and more for 20 Aus dollars (15 Usd )
what books are you going to buy for the Arduino
+Unarmfever 3 ... just bought the SAMs Arduino in 24 Hours... past that I'll probably pick up some project "cookbooks"...
Eli the Computer Guy Try *I Robot* by Isaac Asimov, very informative.

I've been thinking about getting an arduino. I know kids would love it! But really, I'm a 58 year old IT analyst. Could be fun. :-) I might could use this in some applications at work. Hum. Cool.
+Gandoff2000 ... it really is pretty fun... I'm looking forward to building a little 4WD robot car...
Do it
The artsy fartsy crap is fun as hell, even as an adult. you just gotta get rid of the stigma that "child stuff is dumb."
With the pots and the piezo, you should be able to mount them across the gap in the breadboard. No need to keep them on one side of the board.
1... the Piezo LITERALLY takes up the whole side of a board. Just fitting the power connections is a pain.... 2... with the projects many times you're using both side of the board so there's no extra room to scoot it around...
"They get a bit arts and crafty" oh... almost like if the arduino project was originally created for design students... :P
Karl Åström Design students? I thought it was commonly used by first year electrical engineering students.
Great video subscribing 👍🏼
You sound just like dutchsinse the earthquake dude!
Great video; you should absolutely get a Funduino kit. Arduino is just a brand and waaaaay too expensive. I sell it; I would never bother with buying Arduino.
Can you do a co talk episode with Jupiter broadcasting and CNET about DIY/Classes in regards to emerging technologies (IT related...and real emerging technologies. Not IoT, Deep learning, Cloud bullsh*t.
Do you know Earl the transitioning gadgets girl ?

lol I see the trend of clickbait-ish preview image. well done.
Hi Eli, I´m a big fan. Could you make some vids of ITIL? Thanks.
Are you schure about that?
That arduino book is a cook book... cook book with exact steps what to do when you want xyz....
Best Arduino review I've seen.
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡Hello from Iran, I am watching you with all the difficulties, Happy New Year 2022 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
man man page
At some point, you might realize that you can connect the speaker and the pot across the center of the bread board giving you the space to make your connections.
Breadboard noobs....
+Rob Bowen ... but then I have to use wires to jump the middle... which leads me back to not having enough space for wires to begin with...
What do you mean not enough space? It's a single pot on a breadboard with a few other components. Breadboards aren't meant to look clean, they're meant only for prototyping.

24:20 sodder longer legs on it
It's a pain in the ass when the wires keep moving or falling off
Blimey, 85 dollars for a starter kit. Hey I got a 20 pound kit from ebay and I get to use the entirety of the internet as my guide.
I mean the physical book is nice to look at and all and bonus that you get to support the original makers of the arduino but.. with such a cost you are repelling new people from trying this nifty thing.
Oh yeah sure I'm gonna buy my kid this 85$ kit that they may not even be slightly interested. 20 pounds is still expensive but it's still in the affordable range, even if that's a one-off
Android is my arduino
First eleven minutes can be skipped...
Thank you!
Family friendly Felix... 😁

I understand what you said in your review, but I think you were a bit over-critical. I bought my kit 9 years ago, worked with it for a while, then moved five times before I found it again. The best thing about this kit is that it should make you think about how to change things and/or make it do some other things that you should have learned to do. I did the first three lessons then made my own circuit to do something totally different, and it all worked. BTW, I'm a 77 year old retired accountant with NO electronics training! I can see many other things I want to make it do. Just wait until I finish the manual!

I just left you an email to help you out on increasing your revenue. :)
Are you taking after Paul Joseph Watson with the map of the world behind you? =D
Now he (Paul Joseph Watson) has been censored from FB as of a few days ago...
Holy shit $100
пол часа болтаешь, показал бы просто содержимое
artsy crap? really? because you haven't even considered that some people learn better with these visuals and that the fact that this art "crap" has brought more people into learning electronics and UNDERSTANDING it than it not being done that way..plus all the kids bright on board to "electrical engineering" and knowing how circuits work NOT just being done dull coding encyclopedia locked in a closet writing software like a drone. the Arduino is ment to be the bridge of the gap between code, circuit design and the physical world aimed at a person with zero background in electronics. arms like you spent more time making fun than seeing the benefits for what they are and recognizing why Arduino is so damn successful...before Arduino I could give a rats ass about how a motor works and computer coding...now I'm learning a shit ton and purposefully go looking more more info on how to do things and how components work and how voltage/electrical theory applies to what I'm doing and BOTTOM LINE is...without Arduino...I still wouldn't care and wouldn't even be tempted to learn any of what I have learned due to intimidation of the electronics topic as a hole......n if your notching about a $.05-.10 "issue" ..then spend the damn nickel, fix it and n quit bitching lol...that kit did what they wanted it to..you learned and now your seeking more info to learn more...so they win...you've learned and now there's a curiosity.
Wind bag. I'm 6 minutes in and can already tell this half hour video could probably be done in less than 10 minutes.
Can't take seriously someone who makes o-faces in thumbnails. Grow up.
