They aren't helpful for Arduino projects. No one wants to sit through five minutes of video to see the equivalent of four lines of code and a wiring diagram.

I haven't touched an Arduino since my college days back in 2020. When I sat down to start a new project this weekend, my muscle memory immediately went to the "old ways"—googling obscure datasheets, hunting through forum posts from 2012, and refreshing the Arduino docs.

Then it clicked. I’m in VS Code, why am I doing this manually?

I fired up the Claude Code CLI, gave it the full context of my board and components, and I was prototyping in minutes instead of hours. It’s wild how much the "barrier to entry" has dropped.

For those of you deep in the hobby, how are you integrating AI into your workflow? Are there specific tools or plugins you're using for circuit design or component selection?

All I want to make a simple Arduino circuit that lights up an led whenever a switch is turned off or circuit is opened, I have quite enough material on my hand to make one like few Arduino Uno's and mega, etc

any help of link will be appreciated, I'm not new to Arduino but was away for couple of years

انا معايا اردوينو اونو من غير الكيت بتاعه اجيب الكيت بتاعه ولا لا عشان مش عايز اجيب الحاجه بعدين اركنها ولو هجيبه عايز الكيت بتاعه من غير الاردوينو نفسه لانه معايا فايه الموقع اللي اجيب منه و شكرا

I am working on a project to record heartbeat of a person and play it on a speaker module. I used isd1820 and Arduino uno i inserted the microphone inside the stethoscope tube so that i can capture some sound. But it doesn't work. I tried replacing that inbuilt microphone of isd1820 with a piezoelectric sensor but even that is not capturing any sound. Please help my seniors want this to be done ASAP now.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been talking to a lot of people who are trying to learn robotics on their own, and it seems like many beginners hit similar obstacles.

Things like:

• not knowing where to start

• confusion between electronics, programming, and mechanics

• expensive hardware or limited access to components

• tutorials that skip important basics

I’m curious to understand the real experiences of people who are learning robotics today.

So I made a short survey about the robotics learning journey. It asks about things like how you started, what resources you use, and what difficulties you’ve faced.

If you’ve tried learning robotics (Arduino, embedded systems, robotics projects, etc.), your input would really help.

It takes only a few minutes, and I’d love to hear honest experiences from the community.

Also feel free to share your thoughts here in the comments too.

Thanks!

So I pretty much know nothing about Arduino and how it works I want to build something cool what should I build as my first project? Note: I saw a clapping light on yt it looked pretty easy should I start off with that?

All I can find is house light controlling or alarms. Oh and please something that doesn't need too much money resources like rc cars. I would appreciate any help.

First time working with arduinos so im a noob. I'm trying to make a sim handbrake and sequential shifter using an arduino micro pro, some switches for the shifter and the analog module for the handbrake. How would I wire both of those up to a single arduino and make it work ingame?

I think Is OFF aside if GND

I'm trying to use a 5V solenoid controlled by an Arduino to physically press a button (Keyboard button / Console)

The solenoid does move, but it's not strong enough to fully press the button.

Current setup:

Arduino Uno

5V solenoid

MOSFET + flyback diode

External 5V power supply

Simple timing code

Just got my kits from inventr.io today and they showed up like this, namely the sensor bundle that is legit haphazardly thrown into a ziplock into a shoddy plastic case and most of them are likely fucked from being jostled around in there loose against eachother. mindblowing lol

I found an interesting project on Kickstarter, this seems to have used STM32 as the main controller. This may be the best option if you are thinking of getting started with electronics or Stepping up off Arduino. Also, you will obviously get the benefit of playing around with the Cubesat Standard learning kit.
