This is one of the main reasons I’m intrigued by the world of
electronics. There is a logical confidence in the mathematical certainty of the
physics on which electronics is based and the electronically literate thrive on
it. Everything is simple to electronicigician.
Micro controller this, resistor that, mix in some “simple code” and suddenly a
pile of pieces is a pile of blinking pieces. Add a switch and a sensor, tweak the
code and it not only blinks but it automates an appliance.
I don’t know anything about this world but I’m interested
and Arduino could be my ticket to tinkering. From what I understand Arduino is
a microcontroller that I can attach an LED to, write a little code (or copy it
from someone on the Internet) and, voilà I’ve made my own blinking pile of
pieces. OK, this doesn’t sound too compelling but apparently it is foundational
to making awesome stuff and I do like awesome stuff.
