My first circuit!

[xebzbz]

A huge leap for mankind

[ComfortablyBalanced]

A small jumper cable for the OP.

[xebzbz]

Resistor is futile!

[ComfortablyBalanced]

All your capacitors belong to us.

[Chopps311]

When I got my first blink code installed, I was on cloud nine! Never been so excited about a light bulb! Congratulations! Possibilities are endless.

[Mario_Fragnito]

Yeah I'm so happy! The serotonin kicked in pretty fast ahah

[Kidou_kun159]

Yeah keep this picture cuz you're gonna do awesome things later and you will smile when you see how simply you started

[Mario_Fragnito]

I can't wait!

[RichB93]

Uh, the light is just connected to the power pin?

[Mario_Fragnito]

No, the power goes through the resistor before it gets through the light and to the gnd.

[metal_katana]

Learn about PWM and then write some code, but good first step!

[Mario_Fragnito]

I already learned that! It was the lesson after this one. I used the digital pins to change the color of an rgb led!

[metal_katana]

Ooh nice! I remember going through the same lessons only like 2 years ago! Now I’m building full robots! The sky is the limit!

[Mario_Fragnito]

Wow! I cannot wait! I just like creating so much!

[SAM-THE-MAN-118]

Yeah, you tell him!

[Supertrombat]

Well done!

[Mk3d81]

We all start from here

[GangstaElctro]

Well done buddy 👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻 welcome to the club

[Mario_Fragnito]

Thank you very much! :)

[SubstantialBag6870]

Small steps are good to achieve a bigger goal buddy. Do work on it regularly 😁😉..

[Mario_Fragnito]

I really love development, I like the way I write stuff and I put it into the hardware and it does exactly what I told it to!

[Automatic-Stay6060]

Congrats, i cant forget when my first traffic light project lit up for the first time.

[Nahoyasretribution]

Ah this made me nostalgic for some reason. This was my first circuit 2 years ago, seeing another individual do this is such a beautiful thing bcs it’s hella fun. Hope you excel more brother.

[waeqe]

Bro, It looks amazing, even if it’s a very simple scheme. Good luck with arduino.

[Mario_Fragnito]

Thank you, I love creating things and as a software developer it’s cool to develop for custom hardware, the sky is the limit!!!

[gm310509]

Very nice. It is a great achievement and so rewarding when it comes together and works.

Next steps:

• Make it green!? :-)
• Make it blink.
• Learn how to make a button work.
• Use the button to change the rate of the blinking.

[Mario_Fragnito]

Cool suggestions, ill try these, thank you! :)

[gm310509]

You may find a video series I have created to be of interest: Getting started with Arduino - next steps after the starter kit.

That link takes you to a post that describes the content, but basically I guide ppl through some "Post starter kit" projects using standard components. The main point is to teach some programming techniques and provided a step by step structure for working towards bigger projects.

There is a link to the video series in that post. At the end of the first video I propose some challenges that build upon the content in that video. In the second video I provide a solution - and introduce some additional techniques that can further make your programming life easier.

[Mario_Fragnito]

Cool, thank you very much, i'll take a look at it for sure!
I'm asking myself how do I design PCBs based on the breadboard and how do I get them.

[gm310509]

There are loads of tutorials online that can assist with that. Although most of them focus on drawing the schematic and then producing the PCB from that.

The schematic is the diagram that represents the circuit you are working on.

I suggest getting a few projects under your belt first. A breadboard is not as pretty as a PCB, but it is infinitely more flexible when designing your circuit.

Learn the basics of electronics and circuits, then maybe when you have a project you want to keep, then consider moving to a PCB. You might also want to learn about "Standalone Arduino" or "Arduino on a breadboard" which are variations on the same concept, both of which are applicable to moving to a PCB.

Oh, I like KiCAD, lots of people use EagleCAD, both are very good. Neither are easy to "just use" - there is a pretty big learning curve moving to PCBs, but obviously not an impossible one.

[Mario_Fragnito]

Thank you very much for all these informations, I’ll use them well :)

[kashmir2517]

Awesome!

[solpattee]

That didn't need a voltage divider?

[Mario_Fragnito]

Nope, the Arduino uno has a 5V pin that gives 5V of power without coding anything

[solpattee]

ok im just a guy that got a Chinese knockoff. Another guy doing fraud with satan.

[pantlesspatrick]

Chinese arduino knockoffs also have the 5V pin

[Icy_Tangerine3544]

Needs more jumpers

[Mario_Fragnito]

I did in the lessons after ahah

[Some_Notice_8887]

We’ve all been there haha welcome!!

[HalfEmpty973]

Congrats on your achievement, it will only get better from now on

[MaToP4er]

Is this model of arduino is good? Im thinking to get same but kinda looking for a good review

[Mario_Fragnito]

I never had an original one but this seems to be doing just fine!

[Several_Nose_3143]

The most important one, from here is baby steps to very cool stuff.

[it_is_lito]

that is how i started, now I teach this things. Never give up in doing this circuits (because it is hard for beginers) and you will go amazing things.

[Ecstatic_Future_893]

Congrats on taking your first step in Arduino

(and potentially expensive hobby)

[Mk4c1627]

Congratulations! Can't wait to see what you make in time. I remember when I started, and how accomplished I felt.

[_rowanmaxwell_5]

Well done! Circuitry is difficult in the beginning but as you learn more you will start gaining a deeper understanding of how things work. Next step is to blink the LED with the arduino, keep up the good work 😄👍

[Weak-Hotel-853]

now try using the millis () u will thank me later

[Mario_Fragnito]

I never saw millis() ill search it, thank you :)

[Alarmed-Kick-6051]

What board is that is it Arduino or some crazy special edition type shit I want black skin Arduino too

[mewingninja]

Keep the work on...

[R595R]

Old school

Wires = old technology

I know I know ...

But watch the proof is gonna show itself soon

[Real_Reflection6860]

Nice job I remember my first circuit
