Learning about Arduino and microcontrollers doesn't have to be hard OR long. In this 3 and a half minute video, I'm going to teach you what an Arduino is (it often means a few different things), what a microcontroller is, and the anatomy of an Arduino Board. I'll also walk you through creating your first program on the Arduino Board and how to use a breadboard and resistors to protect components like LEDs. Let's get started!
