Intro about me and my aims
Posted on April 17th, 2008 in General | No Comments »
I’m a beginner in electronics and this blog is intended to help me share the things I will learn. At the moment I’ve started to study Arduino programming and I enjoy it so far. Just to be sure where things are going, there are a couple of aims for me:
- Learn to use those small 8×2, 16×2 LCD screens to display some data my arduino calculates.
- Learn to use motors to move around the arduino powered robots.
- Create a line-follower robot (a machine that can read a line on the ground and follow it without any human interaction)
These are just the first three of my closest aims. At the moment I have no experience in electronics and that’s the most interesting part I guess. If you are ready to start learning the electronics step by step with me, then just hold on.
As about myself - I have some programming background and propper education to do it. I have a masters degree in computer science, however I have studied no electronics in my life before. I’ve been programming PHP and creating web applications for 5 years now. It’s time for something new. As you might imagine, PHP is a rather simple language and that’s the way I take things. If I need to do some simple programming, PHP is my language of choice. The last but not least - my mother language is not English, so please excuse me for the language mistakes.
Ok, just hold on and follow the news!
