Continue reading →: Hunt those Sensors: i2c Scanner (for Arduino)Note: this example is specifically for Arduino Uno//Leonardo//Pro-micro. i2c is a protocol used for certain OLED displays, LCDs, many new and cheap sensors, and even if you want one microcontroller to talk with another. This guide shows how you can connect the i2c device to an Arduino-type microcontroller, and poll…

Continue reading →: Why start coding with Arduino?Arduino lives between two worlds – it is both programming and electronics rolled into something of both – microcomputers, aka physical computing. This makes one wonder, is Arduino really the best way to learn coding, especially for young children? (As a note, Arduino uses C-language to be run) After all,…
