The analog to digital sketches have been covered a million ways from Sunday with every conceivable part but in order for us to move on to more complex circuits and concepts I need to be sure you know these simpler ones. This tutorial wont be quite as in depth as the others because frankly there just isn't much code. Without further delay I give you the wiring diagram.
Another very simple circuit diagram, by the way ...

Well well well, Look who's back for more already. If you're pushing through these Arduino tutorials screaming give me more then I'd like to be the first to tell you good job and keep it up. Soon you will have this thing called the Arduino mastered and that creation that you had in mind (The one that got you into this mess in the first place) will seem like child's play once I'm through with ...

By now you should have your Arduino and have gone through the Arduino Website and maybe you received some documentation with your board which describes the Electrical Engineering Hello World, The LED Blink Sketch.
The LED Blink sketch gives you a rough idea of how you will send commands to the micro controller and how the micro controller will communicate with components attached to it. Other than that your pretty much on your own, if you have a background in ...

So your ready to jump into the vastly complex world of electrical engineering. Weather you have a specific goal in mind or just think Microchips are cool in general I aim to assist you in your learning experience by posting several articles based around the Arduino platform. I will be using a mixture of the Duemilanove, Uno, Mega, & Ardweeny as the main platform. First thing is ordering your unit which I already covered in ...

I created a couple forum signature bars for the Arduino.
Show your support for the Arduino platform by linking back to their main page

So here it is, the introductory article to the project that is currently eating up the majority of my time. The reason and determination behind this project comes from a story which I will share with you now, then I will state some goals and a rough project outline.
I have been slacking big time on updating my website and if I wasn't I would be able to point to an article that should exist in ...

I just added a category for my beloved code AutoIT and my newest hobby / obsession the Arduino. I will start porting some of my code and projects I didn't finish in AutoIT and even some good tutorials using the code once I get some other articles wrapped up. To learn more about AutoIT and if your curious what to expect in the new section check out the category I created and specifically the article labled ...

Arduino Duemilanove
I have always been into Electrical Engineering and in fact is what I originally started going to college for. I however already had tons of knowledge and experience in Network Administration so that is my real career. I recently decided to not give up on something I love and I picked up several books relating to the subject and have been reading through
them sucking up as much knowledge as I possible can. ...
