  • Hello again.

  • As you know, I am Eli the computer guy.

  • And today we're going to be doing a review of the official Are DWI no starter kit?

  • So if you've been following me for any length of time, you know, I'm trying to get Maur into that io ti world.

  • Start doing more classes again.

  • And, of course, an Arduino and raspberry pi in these type of devices are what the cool kids are playing with now.

  • So I decided to dive right in and is a good old geek.

  • I went out there and I bought a starter kit.

  • Now some people may look at me buying a starter kit and say all this.

  • This proves why Eli is not a real computer guy, Really.

  • Computer guys would have gone out there and bought each individual transistor on their own so that they could have saved money.

  • Well, the reason that I bought a starter kit is because honestly, as a real technology professional, my time is worth a little bit of money.

  • You know, I'm not saying my time is worth Bill Gates or Steve Jobs.

  • Tight money, but it's worth it's worth a couple of bucks and one of the nice things with going out and buying starter kits or people laugh at me for buying dummies books is you go and you pay for this thing.

  • But then it gives you everything that you need to be able to jump in and to be able to understand the environment that you're going to be working in.

  • So if you've never dealt with an Arduino before, you need to know, how do you code for a nerd?

  • We know what does code for nerd we know look like.

  • Okay, you've got all of these pens.

  • What does that actually do for you?

  • And by having a kit, then you can just dive in.

  • This has 15 individual projects that takes you through a lot of the different capabilities for the Arduino you can go through.

  • You could do paint by numbers.

  • You go.

  • Oh, okay.

  • That's how you do it.

  • And then you can go from there.

  • I personally like the Arduino, and this is this is actually on our Tween official Arduino starter kit because again won the problems we run into when we try to save money.

  • Especially when things like starter kits is The question is, do you know if the components themselves they're working so many times when you're learning a new technology, you don't know if you miss coded something or if the hardware you're using is broken.

  • So if you go out there and you might be able to buy a a unofficial Arduino starter kit for, let's say, $30 or something.

  • But are you sure the transistors air gonna work, right?

  • Are you sure the Arduino board itself, everything is going be functional on it.

  • There is just a quality control with buying the official thing.

  • Um, officially, officially, the says it's $99.

  • I personally went over to micro center and purchases for 85.

  • So, honestly, when I look at this ah, you get the start.

  • So the starter kit comes with all the components that you need for 15 projects including, you know, including a pretty detailed book that goes into it, plus the yard, we know board and everything else.

  • I got this for $85 so literally for less than I used to charge for one hour of labor back in 2009.

  • I get the entire kit and I could just jump right in.

  • So at least for me, at least for me, that makes a lot of sense.

  • If you're interested in this if you go over you take a look at Arduino dot cc.

  • They actually have and you can see this is the official Arduino starter kit.

  • It goes through.

  • It explains everything that you get to d'oh!

  • You know, getting to know your tools, love O meters mood Kyul, mood cues, motorized pinwheels So on and so forth.

  • So I think overall, this is a good product and so we're gonna be just doing an overall review of this.

  • So you have an idea of if you buy this for yourself what you should expect out of it now, before we get into the review, we do have to talk about our sponsors because the sponsors who pays the bills we have cumulus networks keep most networks.

  • Wants to know your thoughts on Web scale networking, fill out their survey and you could win an apple watch.

  • Cumulus networks dot com forward slash Eli Geist Guys build and deliver his rack p to use ultra quick and as few as five days for standard units.

  • Network, who is urging Traffic, was receiving appliques dot com and finally get where data recovery get.

  • We're partners with I D professionals to offer their end user steady recovery services and digital forensics.

  • Find out Morgan where dot com, As I always say, Don't really care if your thumb up, thumb down or leave a comment.

  • But if you click on the sponsor likes blow.

  • That's what helps pays for classes like this and keep silicon discourse dot com going.

  • So the first question that has to be asked any kind of starter kit is what is the book like?

  • Especially especially when you're talking about a starter kit for open source projects.

  • Ah, this is something that that I always keep in mind.

  • I always take the heart because, as I talk about my father was a PhD or guest is a PhD level engineer, and he used to bring home things like electronics projects for me when I was a kid.

  • And there are just times like Dad, I'm eight eight.

  • What?

  • How does this even mean, right?

  • Um, and that's when the problems you get Thio is, Ah, a lot of times when ah, when people create starter like starter books or starter projects or whatever.

  • Ah, basically they say, Well, well, I mean I mean, really, Eli, Really, Eli, anybody with their PhD in electrical engineering will be able to pick this up and understand exactly what's going on, right?

  • So a lot of times when you're dealing with the the starter books, they can be really high over people's heads as and yeah, if you have a bachelor's degree in engineering, you understand what's going on.

  • But you know, a young person isn't gonna understand what's going on, or it may just be edited poorly or just very low quality.

  • And one of the issues we run into in the open source world is that so many people think man pages.

  • It's not just that man pages are good enough.

  • It's not like, Well, if you don't have anything else, you can use the man pages they look at man pages ago.

  • Who who would want anything more than a man take man pages are the best things humanity can write.

  • And he said, They're like, Oh, God, all right, that's a big question, you know?

  • Or do we know being an open source hardware project, especially Think it since it's a nonprofit, the question is, is what is this book gonna look like?

  • And I was a little worried, honestly when I bought it, But I do have to say this is very well done.

  • Apparently they got some professional writers and some professional graphic artists and all that kind of stuff to create this, Um, and it's good just all the way around.

  • It's laid out very well.

  • It's very easy to read all the diagrams and everything.

  • It is very easy to understand, so I really I do have to say that the book is just very good life.

  • You look at it, you can crack it open and you can see things.

  • So here, I mean, you can see you can see everything looks very nice.

  • Everything looks very pretty.

  • This isn't just like some weird, weird ass Xerox book.

  • Not only that, with the diagrams you can see everything is laid out very well.

  • So that shows you the diagram of the Arduino board.

  • Then you have lines that go to text to explain to you everything that's going on with the Arduino board and why you should care about the specific things as you go through.

  • When you look at the projects here, they give you the actual view of what, the board, what the Arduino board should look like, how the bread board should be set up, and then down here, they give you the electrical diagram.

  • So this is for normal humans to understand.

  • And then this down here starts to give you an idea of what you're actually doing.

  • So if you go through, you'll see the fonts are very nice.

  • The color is very nice.

  • Everything is laid out there.

  • There were very few parts in here where I had to scratch my head and didn't understand what was going on.

  • There were a couple, but you know, I mean, with a project book this long, it's pretty easy.

  • They give you like these air the code snippets so they show you.

  • And that's a nice part.

  • Two is you'll see how they how they lay everything out.

  • Uh, this is all the code for this particular project, but they lay it out.

  • So Okay, this is where you set up the energy.

  • ERM, this is where you set up the long these where you set up this next backs of energy ears, and so it divides everything out.

  • So it's much easier to read and to follow along with.

  • So overall, I thought the book was just very well done is just a very, very, very, very well done book.

  • Very colorful.

  • And that's it.

  • It's easy to follow, easy to read.

  • And I think anybody, at least with high school education, should be able to follow us pretty well now, one of questions that comes up, though with it is some people have asked with this particular kit?

  • Is this a paint by numbers kit or do you come out of this really feeling like, you know, Arduino Eli, Do you know ard?

  • We know now and I do have to say no, not really.

  • Once I get done with this video, I'm gonna go to micro Center by a couple more books.

  • Basically, this is a paint by numbers book shows you the Arduino board.

  • It shows you the components, it shows you how to do things.

  • It doesn't in depth.

  • Explain why you're doing those things.

  • And I don't feel like I come out of this with a deep knowledge of our do.

  • We know what I feel like I come out of this with is an understanding of the capabilities of what Arduino can d'oh!

  • I come out of it feeling like I can implement those capabilities.

  • But I don't feel like I have that that deep understanding what's going on basically, the way that I would explain it is let's say I want to create an Arduino over device that, based on the temperature, would turn on a fan.

  • Here's the thing I could go through and be like Okay, so the temperature project is here.

  • All right, so I gotta take some of that, and the fan project is here, or the motor projects here, so I'll take some of that.

  • All right, so take some of the take some of that and then basically super glue and duct tape something together, and it'll work.

  • Um well, I think you have to understand, in the technology world is there is a difference between making something that's functional and understanding why it's functional.

  • So I feel like coming out of this, I could create functional devices.

  • I don't really feel like I know why they're doing what they're doing right here.

  • Look here, Look, it does what you needed to D'oh!

  • Oh, wow.

  • Cool, Eli.

  • So, uh, so explain to me what's going on here.

  • Uh, it does what you needed to, you know, it s so that's that's what I would say with the book Very well done all the way around.

  • It's good for what it's good for, but is paint by numbers.

  • If you want to get something like Maurin depth, do what I'm going to dio literally when I get done with his video, go over and actually buy.

  • Buy another book that's gonna get Maurin depth and all the concepts.

  • But this this is something that's good.

  • You can sit down.

  • You can run through all the projects.

  • You can see all the functionality.

  • You can see whether or not you care about the Arduino is the Arduino the solution for you.

  • When you sit there and you're doing all of it, you get an idea of what's going on and you can say, Oh, yes, this is going to solve my my clients my boss's problems, or you're gonna go through it.

  • Go Oh, Oh, yeah, No.

  • How do you How do you connect your mind to this?

  • Oh, you can't.

  • Oh, never mind that this isn't good enough.

  • So I think that's that's basically what you got to think about the book.

  • So that's my thoughts there.

  • So now the question is, what do the projects actually look like?

  • S o.

  • I did go through again.

  • I did all the projects within the book.

  • Unfortunately, I realized after I did all the projects that in the book I should have documented it better.

  • If you go over to the Eli Computer Guy live Channel and you search are doing over there, you'll see the different Arduino projects that I did and additional Arduino projects that I'll do as I continue.

  • So you may want to go over there to take a look at the finish projects.

  • I figured I just show you some of the components and some of the things that you deal with to get an idea of what you learn how to dio with the whole Arduino Project book.

  • Now, one of the good things with it is it does show you how to use a display.

  • So this is an LCD display that you can connect to the Arduino board and so this is a valuable thing if we're gonna be creating I ot devices so that the device can actually tell you what the hell is going on.

  • Yeah.

  • Hey, so they show you like they do a magic eight ball thing.

  • We're able to shake the device and then it'll it'll show you different messages to pace depending on the switch that's triggered.

  • So that's a pretty good thing along those lines they give you this is like a movement sensor.

  • It's kind of hard to see.

  • Ah But basically what you do is you plug this into the bread board.

  • And if it if it feels any movement of the board itself, then it's able to trigger.

  • So you get to learn howto how they use something like that shows you how to use transistors in order to use a swick.

  • Basically a if then mechanism for being able to turn on motors and that type of thing.

  • So you had to use I see Kipps again to trigger motors and other types of stuff.

  • They give you foot photovoltaic cells so that photovoltaic cells senses the light around the yard.

  • We know board.

  • And then, based on how much light is going into the Arduino board that can trigger certain things to happen.

  • They show you temperature sensors.

  • So this is a valuable thing.

  • Any any sys admin is out there.

  • Anybody in data centers, this little tiny ass little thing right here might be it might be like the most valuable part of this entire are Do we know Kip is They have the temperature sensors here, and so you learn how to use a temperature sensor in order to trigger things toe happen.

  • So you learn how to use a temperature sensor you so you could either trigger like led lights, a light to go off.

  • Or if you have an Arduino like a WiFi shield or another net shield.

  • You could trigger a network event to happen if the temperature goes to hide.

  • So there's this little thing right here may be completely worth it for any like sys admin is out there.

  • Beyond that, it shows you how to use a little buttons in orderto create physical actions and as little peas Oh, in order to have, like, a little audio sounds.

  • So again we start talking.

  • I really do have to say this.

  • Temperature sensors probably most valuable thing in the kit, this little 25 cent thing.

  • But so if if the temperature goes above a certain level, you could have your Arduino star admitting a inaudible sound so that you know that the server room is now above 90 degrees, so you could have you could have led that goes off and you could have the little little audio alarm go off.

  • That could be a valuable thing.

  • They show you how to use servo motors, so server motors can move, uh, up to 180 degrees.

  • So, basically, if you want to turn things like physically, be able to turn switches on or off, or basically be able to move to a specific place, so they give you an electric motor so electric motors could be used for wheels.

  • Electric motors could be used for fans, but they just constantly spend.

  • They do a 360 degree.

  • It's electric motor.

  • What's nice with this is you can set it to go to a specific position, so basically you can set it to go to one position or another position or another position.

  • So the way to think about is if you're creating a vehicle, the electric motor is the wheels for the vehicle to get a go forward and backward, the servo would be for the steering wheel to be able to turn left or right, so you learn how to how to do that.

  • And so these are some of valuable things that show you how to use L.

  • E.

  • D's.

  • Not only do you get to get to play around with multiple normal eh, ladies, but they have a tri color led so you can have an led that can turn toe multiple different colors, depending on what's what's happening, eh?

  • So these are the different projects.

  • If you go over and and you take a look at the website, they get a little artsy craftsy with this crap.

  • To be honest, I mean one of them when the negatives out that I would say is like a professional, they get a little artsy, crafty, like love o meter right measure how hot blooded you are.

  • Basically, what this is is a temperature sensor.

  • Ah, color mixing lamp produced any color with a lamp that uses light as an input.

  • So again, this this is using the photo metallic cells in order to change the colors of the tri color led motorized pinwheel so you can create a pinwheel.

  • But the more important thing here is being able to to use a motor so that that's the only like that's the thing is, when you're looking at this as a professional's you're looking at, this is a professional kind, kind of take these a grain of salt.

  • I feel like a kid ified these names and they kid ified what these projects sound like.

  • But if you can, if you can take away the childish names of the projects and realize what they're showing you, I think that's what the more significant thing is, you know.

  • So like the crystal ball, a mystical tour to answer all your tough questions.

  • Basically, what the crystal ball is is.

  • That's where you add the LCD screen to the yard we know.

  • And then you also have that little little motion sensor type thing so that when you shake the Arduino, it then goes into a switch where it says cases randomly, says cases Euro case Once Casey to case three Case four and then, depending on those different cases, it will spit out an answer for you, so that itself is cheesy.

  • But it's Maura understanding the concept that the Arduino can show you text display based off of certain you know, certain criteria.

  • I think that's the more valuable thing to take away from this.

  • Um, that's one thing I say with the parts.

  • I didn't bother with them, but that's where it's like with pinwheels, and I don't know.

  • They give you all this like artsy fartsy crap, which I didn't worry about.

  • there's there's this one thing where you learn out of turn the mode, you learn how to turn a motor on.

  • Then you learn how to reverse the motor using a button, and then you use ah, um uh, thing Teoh to be a big increase the speed or decrease the speed.

  • And that's all supposed to could be connected to this artsy fartsy crap.

  • And basically, basically, I took the motor.

  • I connected it in.

  • I went OK, that's forward.

  • That's back.

  • That's off as faster.

  • Ah, that's slower.

  • So?

  • So?

  • So yes, So that that's that's a big thing.

  • Like as an adult kind of take that kid's stuff and put it to the side.

  • Maur.

  • What you need to be taking away is what does it mean if you're running a motor for a pinwheel?

  • Yes, the pinwheels.

  • Stupid.

  • Who the hell cares?

  • But it might be valuable for running a motor for a fan right again.

  • The whole servo thing.

  • What they have in there might be stupid.

  • But having a servo that literally flips a physical switch on and off they imagine.

  • Let's say you you have an air conditioning unit in your in your data set in your in your server room, not a data center server room, and that air conditioning unit can be turned on and off with a physical switch on the wall.

  • So their project in here maybe may look stupid as far as a servo is concerned.

  • But if you understand, a servo can move up and it can move down and it's high torque, so it actually has the strength to move a switch up and down than what you realize is, Oh, I can use an Arduino board.

  • And when it when it triggers when it senses that the temperature in the room is above 90 degrees, I can have the servo move to a specific position, which will then move that lights that switch on the wall, which will turn on the air conditioning.

  • And then once it goes below 70 degrees, I can have the servo move to its original position, where it will then turn off the switch on the wall again.

  • Don't look at it so much from like the kiddie kindergarten stuff look at it from Oh, that's what that means.

  • Pinwheel.

  • Stupid turning air conditioners on and off, physically valuable.

  • So Yeah, the projects and all their most of projects are really good all the way around.

  • So now the question is, what about all the other Elektronik parts that come with a kit?

  • So it comes to the LCD screen, the motor and all that.

  • But other things do you get, like, resistors and capacitors and all that kind of stuff.

  • And I do have to say they did a very good job with their their selection of things that they give you.

  • They do give you a lot of different stuff.

  • Now, the one thing that I did dislike with this particular kit get something if the Arduino folks are listening, is that so?

  • Money that boxes in this kit are kind of like these, you know, kind of like raisin boxes where you open them up and then you have to dump everything out.

  • Well, as you can see, I kind of feel like a kid with my Legos again.

  • This is this is what ends up happening.

  • I would say that if you're going to buy the Arduino kit, you might want to go to the hobby shop and buy some of those little a little like little plastic boxes in order to put parts in.

  • Because if you don't do that, this is the mess you're going to get.

  • We just kind of weird, because this is the, uh Oh, this is the box they give you for the electronic parts.

  • And so the electronic parts coming this very nice little box, right?

  • So you have the box, and then you open the box, and then you can get to your electronic parts.

  • Another hand.

  • This is the wire box, right?

  • So all of these little wires for your bread board in order to get to the wires.

  • Your bread board?

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Yep.

  • I definitely feel like an eight year old again.

  • You gotta dump all these out and they're kind of small and they can drop on the floor is a pain in the butt.

  • I don't know why they didn't use more of these boxes, So I would say if you're going to be going for the kit, definitely buy some of those little little hobby hobby, little little boxes or whatever.

  • Now, when you're dealing with this, what's really nice is they allow you, they give you all the parts to build this kind of, like little work table thing.

  • So you have this piece of wood here on the wood.

  • What you're able to do is you're able to tape down the bread board.

  • So the bread board allows you to be of the stick electronic components in without half ing thio sauder them down, and then you're able to screw in the Arduino board.

  • So it's really nice years A's.

  • You can see these wires.

  • Um, the nice part with wires is there already pre bent.

  • So all you have to do is if you want to connect the board, you just plug them in as such, and it makes it really nice and easy.

  • You don't have a lot of lot of wires hanging around and that kind of stuff you want to plug in like an LCD or something that led.

  • All you do is you just slotted into the holes that you need to slide it in two s.

  • So this is a very good kid.

  • Overall.

  • Ah, they give you a lot of different components here, So ah, with a lot of starter kits, what they'll do is they'll only give you the amount of components that you absolutely need.

  • What's nice with this is they give you just a just a whole pile of components, right?

  • So you got all these wires here, obviously.

  • And then, like life, you just go and you take a look at my messy little box.

  • Here we have these piles of resistors, so I've gone through all of the experiment so far, and you can see these are all the resisters I did not use these resistors I did not use.

  • They have extra capacitors for you.

  • They have extra diets for you.

  • They have just a crap ton of l E d s.

  • You can see that in here.

  • Um, so they have all of these different things.

  • They have the number of different photovoltaic sensors.

  • So even though you only need, like, one at a time, they give you multiple photovoltaic sensors.

  • If you go over and take a look at the electronic parts, um, the same thing's true.

  • I mean, they give you they give you, like, nine of these little push buttons switches for whatever reason.

  • Ah, which is which is a surprising thing.

  • They give you the the potentially ometer given multiple pension 10 kilometers, Um, and all this kind of stuff.

  • So overall, they give you not only the parts themselves pretty good, but they give you numerous parts.

  • So when you want to dio projects in the future, it's pretty easy to d'oh now.

  • One of the things, though, that I did dislike is they did a good job with a lot of components and then just seemed to like, I don't know, go to launch on others.

  • So if you'll notice like the L E D's are most of the electronic components, they have very, very long legs, almost stupidly long legs.

  • But then this is the P S O.

  • This is Ah, what what emits a sound and what you'll notice is this has very, very, very short legs.

  • Now that doesn't seem like a big deal, except for the fact that when you connect it to the bread board, So when you're connecting with the bread board, you can only basically all the all the all the dots here are connected in a row.

  • But it only goes to the middle.

  • So basically, this is the dividing line.

  • This is one side, this is the other.

  • And so when you go and you you put the P S o n.

  • The problem is, is when you connect it onto the board, you literally don't have any room for the other connections that you need to be a bit connect into.

  • So if you need to be, when you're trying to connect the power, it's very difficult to try to be able to connect the power around the piazza itself.

  • And then there was there was one project in here that I was not able to complete literally, because you had to put something under.

  • The P is Oh, and like it just it just falls off like that so it doesn't connect.

  • Connect very well.

  • So that was a weird thing.

  • It's a weird choice that this particular size and then if it even if it is absurd particular size, why are the legs that short?

  • That was weird.

  • Ah, Then we ran into the problems with a potentially ometer.

  • So ah, so if you take a look at the potential ometer before I had to screw with it, So this is what the potentially ometer looks like.

  • Ah, and if you put it on the board, what you'll notice is it takes up an entire side of the board, which again makes it very difficult.

  • Makes it very difficult to put the the wires under it so that everything connects properly.

  • So what I had to do is I kind of had to bend the hell out of mine.

  • And so this is the one that was actually using for the project.

  • And so when I been the hell out of mine, I could get it so it only takes up half aside.

  • But the problem was, is that the connectors are not as tight as they should be.

  • So sometimes when I was doing projects, I would have to push down the potentially ometer in order to make sure the connections, uh, everything was actually connected s Oh, that was a pain in the butt again.

  • It just seems kind of way these These are a little 10 25 cent parts at most, so I'm just not sure why did it use a 15 or 30 cent part instead of instead of these things?

  • The other weird thing, too, is, um where is the little?

  • This is the vibration sensor.

  • So basically, if it if it the text vibration.

  • It goes from on to off.

  • The other weird thing is, if you look in the book, if you look in the book, it looks like it's a two pronged sensor and that it's half the size of this s O.

  • When I was trying to find the that that kind of vibration sensor, it took me like, 10 minutes because I was digging through this whole box of crap trying to find the vibration center sensor that they showed me in the book on Lee to figure out Hey, this is the one thing that doesn't match anything else in the book.

  • I wonder if this is the vibration sensor and it ended up being this.

  • So overall, in a lot of ways, this is good.

  • So the wires is very, very easy for wiring things up most.

  • This stuff is very good.

  • This little.

  • This little workbench area is very nice, but they just did because did this weird said like, you know, when you get this with all products, they're just we like a couple of just weird decisions, like literally these three.

  • Well, this is just this This just need to modify, but basically these two decisions because you use of the potentially ometer a lot.

  • You actually use this quite a bit.

  • And so these two decisions just for for an extra five or 10 cents literally ah, would have made the would have made the whole thing a lot better, the whole experience better.

  • But overall, overall, it's still, it's still a good kit.

  • And ah, it's it's pretty easy to actually be able to use and configure when you're playing with things.

  • That's really all I have to say for the official Arduino starter kit.

  • Overall, I give it a thumb up.

  • I give it like a one thumb up, one thumb, decide.

  • It's It's very good for what you get.

  • It's good value, but it's not perfect.

  • It's not perfect.

  • It's got some tweaks with it.

  • Ah, the project book is good again.

  • This is This is very good for understanding the functionality of their Arduino, a getting comfortable building things with the Arduino, but it is very much paint by numbers.

  • By the time you get done, I don't I don't feel like I have an in depth understanding the Arduino.

  • I feel like I could go through here and superglue some stuff together.

  • I will learn more.

  • But that's the thing is it shows you It shows you that you can do things.

  • So you get comfortable with the idea that you can do things and you want to learn more.

  • But just realized you will have to learn more afterwards.

  • They give you a whole bunch of cool functionality here to really show you some the cool stuff that it can d'oh again.

  • It gives you the LCD.

  • It gives you the servo motors that gives you the mode or is it gives you the photovoltaic cells, the temperatures out, I'm telling you, I'm telling wherever that thing is a little temperature sensor.

  • I know you think I know you all think I'm joking.

  • I know you're like, uh, I'm telling you, a stupid ass little like 10 cent temperature sensor is probably the most valuable thing from a pharmacist admin standpoint of this whole thing.

  • But they give you all these parts so you can go through.

  • You can get an idea of how all this stuff works.

  • And then if you understand there are other shields that are available, then you can go when you get an Ethernet shield or wireless shield on lt E Shield or Ciro Shields, anything like that.

  • I think that's the only other thing that I would have added to.

  • A kit like this is not necessarily a high value shield, but so shields basically shields.

  • They're kind of like boards that go on top of the mark Main artery.

  • No board.

  • Um and that's the one thing they don't have any extra shields here.

  • So I think that's if I was in the Arduino company, I would think about adding a shield just so people get comfortable the concept of shell like, Oh, okay.

  • So I took a shield.

  • I put the shield on that shield.

  • Allow me to do X, Y or Z.

  • Okay, Now I feel comfortable shield.

  • I think I think the lack of shields is the only thing in the kit that you don't get that I think would be a good thing again.

  • You'll be a key pass shield, a servo shield or something.

  • A little $5 shield.

  • But just so it gets you comfortable like Oh, yeah, that's how you would sell a shield.

  • That's how you program for a shield now I feel comfortable.

  • Shields The shields is the one thing This doesn't really go into it all.

  • So that would be the only thing I would add.

  • Ah, the parts in here were good enough for most of it again.

  • I like I like the wires.

  • The wires were good.

  • The bread board, This whole little work work bench thing was a really good idea.

  • Most of the parts were good.

  • The issues that I came to, the main ones were simply lie.

  • Say this.

  • Pezzo is just I don't understand there.

  • And the potentially ometer was kind of weird.

  • And this is this is the kind of stuff where I feel like I feel like probably whoever was packing this stuff over at Arduino.

  • Probably.

  • I don't know.

  • You know, it's Friday night.

  • They want to go out for a beer.

  • They're like, I really have to put in the right size potential yonder.

  • Screwed.

  • I'll just throw in the ones we have.

  • That's where I kind of feel because everything else is done so well, it's kind of weird, like you've got this of the potential with a potentially ometer.

  • We got this puppy ears.

  • Oh, the other thing like they're the that the weird issue and that's the thing is like with putting stuff on the bread board is you just run into weird things.

  • So this is this is the little vibration sensor.

  • So when it vibrates it, it goes from on to off.

  • Ah, and if you look at it in the book, if you look at in the book, it shows it as a to wire smaller device than this.

  • So literally I had to spend, like, 10 minutes digging through the electronic parts, trying to figure out what the hell the vibration sensor was and then realized, Oh, this might be it must be it.

  • But then when I looked at the book and I plugged this in, it's like, Yeah, but that doesn't that doesn't look like what's in the book.

  • So that's the thing is, this is a couple of parts, a couple of parts, nit picky stuff.

  • But, you know, it's really I don't understand why they just don't spend like, an extra 50 cents not not to have these issues, but they really are there.

  • So that's that's That's really all I have to say for there to be no starter kit Overall overall thumb, thumb and 1/2.

  • We'll give it a thumb and 1/2.

  • Definitely worth the thing up.

  • I bought it from Ah Micro Center for about $85.

  • I feel good with it.

  • I feel so good and excited with it.

  • I went out there and I bought myself a four wheel drive are doing okay, This is gonna be one of the one the projects that we're gonna be doing going in future.

  • It comes with a little little sensors allows you to create a robot car.

  • So I'm excited about that.

  • So that is with this.

  • I do feel like when you when you get done with this, you feel like, Yep.

  • I feel I feel comfortable understanding that I can make the Arduino do what I want to D'oh!

  • I feel comfortable with the capabilities of the Arduino, and I feel excited going forward, but but there's gonna be more work.

  • But it would be no fun.

  • It would be if you could read one book and you understood everything that there is no fun.

  • There's just no fun there.

  • So it's it's good thing all the way around so that that's about all I have to say.

  • As always, I enjoyed doing this video.

  • If you want to join the conversation, ask me questions.

  • Haven't responded comments or anything else.

  • You might want to think about going in silicon discourse dot com regardless, and I look forward to see what the next video.

Hello again.
