This guy is the Bob Ross of computer programming.

78 years old and you got me excited enough to just order my kit.

This is one of the very few teachers I have seen that doesn't assume the viewer already understands the program and the procedures. He walks you through every step, without skipping anything. That is greatly appreciated, and every online teacher should be following this model.

The most relevant Arduino Tutorial on the internet.

I never knew I could be so happy about a blinking led.

HOOK A BROTHER UP. Every student deserves a teacher/mentor like Mr Paul

Thanks Paul, I am getting so much out of your brilliant tutorials. I did Electronics as part of my Mechanical Engineering course in the 1970s and I've done several online courses since, but they all bored me to pieces. I find that I'm really getting a lot of joy out of doing your tutorials: thanks again.

I'm a retired software developer in my 80's and throughly enjoying this series. Having taken innumerable programming courses over a 50 year career, I can definitely say you are the absolute best technical instructor I have ever encountered. Everything you say is absolutely clear, concise, and a teaching moment. I'm currently on tutorial 22, but returned to tutorial 1 to encourage new students to get the starter kit and do the exercises as you progress through the series. I have one suggestion. Unless I missed it somewhere along the way, you don't talk about comments in your coding. Comments embedded in code are a great assistance in going back over the code if problems develop months or years after the code was written by the original developer or someone assigned later to maintain the code. Adding comments is as simple as beginning the comment line with //. Comments following the // will not be compiled and appear in the code as "grayed out." An example of comments is the " // put your code here, to run once: " in the beginning of the void setup paragraph.

this was the quickest 23 minutes of my life. I love this guy already

This guy is the best teacher ever, this class was not boring at all, and I understood everything because he explained it so well👍🏽

You are quite possibly the best teacher I’ve ever had, you make the Arduino so intuitive and so fun to learn about. Thanks so much!!!

I'd say a delay of 15 is pretty much the limit, where I can barely detect a flicker. And great class for a complete beginner. Looking forward to the whole series!

Thanks Paul. You are a fantastic teacher.I am just beginning my coding journey at 67 thank you.

I love how this guy cracks so many funny jokes with a straight face! Just love it!

Love how you explain every step and don't go too fast. Thanks Paul, keep it up.

I'm starting Arduino this year and I just want to say thank you. I always thought it would be hard but you've simplified it for beginners

At 72, I am just getting into Arduinos, so I can eventually run steppers and servos on my machine tools. (before I die). This first intro is awesome. (and I come from a long varied set of tech careers). Thank you for making it so easy to understand.

The Bob Ross of robotics!! this is my favorite arduino lesson series I've seen. Wish it would have been around when I first started.

New to Arduino, but old to life, retired and loving this series of tutorials while following along with the kit. Thanks for creating and continuing to create them Mr. Paul. Want to add that I was contemplating the Arduino but after finding your lessons and tutorials and watching a few, DECIDED to get the Arduino.

You sir are the best, picked up the kit this week and was following along with the included tutorial, discovered your videos. The way you explain the process is outstanding, Older fella here, getting into a new hobby. Thanks!

This is awesome! Where has this been all my life?! I'm 55 years old and just starting my journey into this fascinating world...LOVE your guidance and approach!! Thank you!! :)

Looking forward to this series Paul. I’m a new to Arduino so this is exactly what I was looking for. Big thanks for all the great tutorials you have produced!!

I am not new at arduino at all, but i watched this wideo from beggining to end and didn't fell asleep. He is good teacher.

After digging out the Ardunio again as my 5 year old wanted to learn some electronics, I decided whilst out I'll do some brushing up some knowledge. Found your channel and love your teaching method. Even as an experienced programmer and dabbled with some electronics over the years still found it interesting and great for refreshing my memory. Great job Paul, new subscriber. Looking forward to watching the rest of the series.

I'd happily sit through a long ass lecture as long as its this guy who's teaching.

AWESOME! I've been waiting for quite a while to see your updated how-to's. Your how-to's are what got me started. Thanks so much for this.

You are the best teacher ever, you walk through everything and explain them step by step. Thank you for this series.

Awesome video, excited for the series! By far the least boring arduino programming video on UKposts. Love your enthusiasm, keep it up brotha !

Finding your channel just made my life so much easier. Thank you for being clear and explaining things thoroughly. And for the good production quality. Every other video I have watched on arduino has been grainy with poor audio, and the people were starting with crazy assumptions about the level of understanding that their viewer had, which was way to high for a beginner. I can tell that watching these videos is gonna be a ton of fun. Thanks!

Thanks Paul, I've learned a ton so far and I believe that your teaching style is what's making a huge difference. I'm doing all assignments knowing that if I get stuck I'll be able to figure it out on the next video. I'm 1/2 way through and have learned so much, not just how to code but to understand how things work. I think they way you have been building upon previous lessons helps us build a solid foundation. Looking forward to the next 30+ lessons!

WOW! i have watched this series thru a few times now, kind of addicted to this guys teaching style, not cutting the video and editing like most tutorials, he makes mistakes, some on purpose, but you learn by mistakes. i advise anyone watching these, if you are wanting to learn then actually do the projects, try the homework assignments, then go look see if you got it right or not, at least try. amazing.. keep it up paul

I've just started watching this guy, and I'm already hooked on his vids with just his enthusiasm alone! He is what every teacher aspires to be. Fun and engaging.

Sir, you are absolutely amazing when it comes to explaining and demonstrating, it’s so easy to learn from you compared to others, you always seem so happy and so bright, thank you for your time!!!!

Absolutely thank you for your responsible, thorough and interactive tutorial! I always get lost in other tutorials but yours is so engaging that I actually enjoy learning Arduino now. Cheers with a mug of iced coffee!

i have started this week with doing arduino and i am learning so much. i want to thank you for being a great teacher, explaining things so easy to understand. I am completing the assignments you are giving us and it is so fun. keep up the good work.

Yesterday I bought my first Arduino Unoo, and had no idea where to begin. This first lesson was amazing! So easy to follow, clear instructions and an enthusiastic teacher! I'm gonna use Arduino's in the future for cosplay, and I'll make those costumes alive with epic LED lighting effects. Thanks for the great beginning lessons! The lowest delay where I could still see it blink was 25ms. Anything less looked more like the light was stuttering instead of turning on and off. Fun expirament.

Paul, I would like to thank you for all your time and hard work. I thoroughly enjoy your lessons and follow them to make my Arduino/electroic learning projects. I am retired and it is nice to learn new things at my pace (very slow) but enjoyable. Thank you once again.

This is, without a doubt, the best Arduino tutorial out here on UKposts. Especially for a complete beginner. Thank you for all the hard work!

Sir, You are simply awesome. No annoying music, no nonsense, pure knowledge !! Thank you , I have subscribed to your channel.

I just had to take a moment to say that you are a great man Sir Paul McWhorter, for the first time I enjoyed following along a programming tutorial.

I really love how relaxed he looks…. That’s the demeanor of somebody that master something

Its happy to see you back with this topic sir.I still remember listening to your old videos,when I started to learn arduino .Thank you.

Paul is a really good teacher. This is my first interaction with arduino and I understood everything he's talking about.

Your voice is so clear that makes non-native englisch spakers understand clearly every word you say. BIG THANKS

oh god, I wish I had such an amazing teacher when I was learning to code the microcontrollers at university. this is my first video on your channel Paul, and I absolutely love it!

Thank you Paul for this lesson, my oldest son and I bought the starter kit you recommend and are looking forward to learning adruino and programming. I'm an elevator technician by trade and he is interested in engineering so we're both excited to learn something new! We could still pick up the blinking barely at 13-13

Paul, I wanted to send you a msg to thank you for your incredibly entertaining and informative Arduino lessons. Before your videos, I knew nothing about Arduino, but I am now on lesson 19 and you do such a great job of explaining things and helping us build confidence in our programming skills. I really appreciate all the work you put in to making these great videos! Thank you for bringing your personality and knowledge to UKposts!

I was a programmer over 40 years ago. I'm blown away by the code overhead that has disappeared in order to do simple tasks. Excellent introductory tutorial into the analog/digital industrial platform. Two thumbs up!

Paul, your teaching style is simply amazing!! You make these lessons so engaging and captivating that it makes me want to learn more and more... Thank you so much for putting out this series!

This is great! A while ago, I started trying to learn Fusion 360 (and I still used it and love it) and I found this guy to have some of the best, easiest to follow, and simplest linear tutorial videos ever. So glad to find this video for arduinos!

Thank you Paul! This was very exciting for me to learn, however I had the dreaded arvdude error, and it was so disheartening at first, I spent 4 hours trying to trouble shoot, ended up ordering a new arduino, then I ran a bootloader program from another tutorial to get them both working - and finally - now I have returned to these lovely, well presented tutorials. I can't wait to continue with them, but first I'm a hook a brother up with a thumbs up and a subscribe! You are like the Bob Ross of Arduino programming and I look forward to seeing you in the next one!

Thanks Paul, this is exactly what i've been hoping to find. Just retired and enjoying flight sims. I'm starting with zero knowledge on arduino and hoping I can build my own cockpit panel by the end of your lessons.

This whole series is fantastic. I'm completely new to programming and electronics, and Paul is a brilliant teacher, I especially like that he explains the scientific theory behind what's happening and not just "How to do it". Thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to use an Arduino micro controller.

Mr Paul McWhorter, I would like to expess an Heartfelt "THANK YOU" for making this Video Series. With your patient, relaxed, entertaining yet erudite presentations, you've finally made a clear understanding accessible to all, to what was hitherto a complex mystery and seemingly out of reach to many of us. THANK YOU PAUL!!!

You sir have a gift of teaching. I always wanted to learn arduino, programming, robotics, etc. I cant thank you enough.

I am pretty good at building and painting but electronics are very hard for me. This was the most interesting and engaging tutorial I've ever watched on programming! Thank you!

I’ve been so intimidated to get into this stuff because I’ve always believed you had to be born a genius to understand these things; however, Paul makes it not only understandable but also WAY more exciting than I anticipated! I am beyond excited about this and I feel like I’m finally fulfilling a silent dream that I’ve always had! Thank you SO much, Paul!!!

This guy is a very good teacher, he is very enthusiastic and dedicated to his work and explains it very clearly and puts emphasis on the important things, also this guy's got like 60 of these high quality tutorials can we appreciate the effort?

Happy new year! I worked on this this morning. I was able to perceive a blink at 15 milliseconds. Below that, with my eyes, I was unable to see a blink. Looking forward to completing this course. I appreciate all you have done to help me learn. Thank you.

I watched all the old videos in Summer of 2017. I wanted to watch them again and searched for them but I found these. I am really stoked about the new ones I'll definetely watch all these videos.

Thank you for providing these contents for free Sir! I may not know you very well but what you did will never be forgotten and the knowledge you share will forever be useful to those who come across to your videos.

wow, i'm a first year student of software development in college and i'm trying to see what i like and what i might want to pursue further down the road. You've just made me giggle with excitement like a 9 year old in front of my pc! Thank you very much for making these videos, you're really helping me out!!!

thank you for this series Paul, It really helps i knew very little about the arduino platform when I started it

The best thing about this guy is that when he says he'll teach from scratch, he means it. Brillaint teacher. He is very clear in his insteuctions.

Love this tutorial! at first i thought this was just going to be a long video that directly jumps into terms i don't even understand but this man proved me wrong fosho!

The command is, "wait for it": delay... Barney Stinson is so proud of you :)

I just happened to have ordered the right kit :D got frustrated with the "tutorials" it came with, and found this. PERFECT!!!! THANKS!!! Wrote my first codes!!

Probably one of the most helpful and easy to understand beginner videos I have come across yet, thank you!

Thank you so much Paul, I am starting this all over again. You do great job, thanks

This video is never going to get old, most excellent! GBWU.

As a previously professional teacher - Paul, you are spot on. I already knew this level of UNO basics, but still found the video engaging. Believe me, keeping me interested is not easy! Can't wait to keep going.

I don't know why but this class was SO entertaining, it was SO cool to watch this. I think he is gonna be one of the best teachers I ever had

You have a skill or let's say a bless of simplifying any hard topic into a very simple and easy topic. You are very talented instructor sir.

I am an old person and I love the way the professor explains this. I am trying to intro my grandson to this technology and I believe I have just discovered how... Thank you. : )

Between 14-15ms for me it started to look too solid to tell by eye. Thank you for this series. I'm just starting it now and already having a blast. I learned Fusion 360 from you as well so I have no doubt this is going to be a solid list of lessons.

Just found your channel and I absolutely love it I ordered my arduino a couple weeks ago and been looking for a UKposts channel like this for a while

Who else is watching this while under quarantine! :D

around 15 you can see a bright light that is you can say buzzing . i just started arduino and i love the way you teach Mr Paul

Man I love your style of teaching ...... you make things so easy to understand ...... so satisfying !!

Appreciate this video! Im still needing a Arduino but i bought a kit and learning the components. I super excited about the arduino so imma go through this playlist ahead of time and be ready or at least have a good idea

I never thought I would enjoy a UKposts channel as much as I enjoy learning from Paul! Paul you are a great teacher, and I wish some of my professors would learn from you how to teach! For the assignment- I stopped seeing the blinking light at around 10 ms. Thank you Paul, I'm truly exited about this series!

This is exactly what I’m looking for! I did a semester of Computer Engineering at school and I really enjoyed it! Though I lost everything I had learnt once I finished the class, since I didn’t have any way to apply it to anything in my life at the time. Now though, I want to learn again and this channel is perfect!

The instructions are easy to follow and very interesting. The Kit is an amazing bargain as I spent over $20 on just the ultra-sonic sensor and this whole kit was about $56 and has tons of stuff to play with. Highly recommended place to start programming Arduino. Thanks Paul !!!

This is amazing! You're teaching me like I know nothing (which was true) and now... I can do motors, potentiometers, LCD screens!! You are the Greatest Teacher Ever!

Hey Paul, I hope you see this. I had been involved with dc electronics since high-school. Depression lead me to stop for almost 15years. In the last few months, since November 2021, I have watched all of your arduino videos. It inspired me to pick up a kit and get to work! As of now I've been able to build a little robot for my nephew and I'm almost finished with a "Simon says" handheld built and programmed from scratch. Thank you. Your videos have been educational and given me confidence to try, fail, try better. I hope to start a channel soon to discuss basics of electronics and circuit design. Again, thank you sir -Stan D'eve

Advice for those who are starting this course: from someone who has just finished it I had already an Arduino starter kit but not Elegoo's; I thought that I would spare some bucks using my kit and buying the few components that I hadn't. Do not fall into the same mistake. I had to buy quite a few and in the end, I had to spend as much money as I would if I had bought the Elegoo kit, and I had to interrupt the course several times waiting for my new components to arrive. This course is absolutely fun to follow, Paul is a fantastic teacher, and when you finish it you will have a good grasp on Arduino and electronics in general. I had never done anything with electronics and I couldn't even distinguish potential from current when I started; so, if I could do it, anyone can.

Absolutely amazing first lesson. I am new to the Arduino project, but I am really looking forward to learning new things.

I have this exact set, I was happy using the lessons supplied but I found them lacking something, thank you for these videos.

I’m about half way through these videos now, and following along with my kit. I just want to stop by here and say that every engineer should be doing these tutorials. What you learn is invaluable and for only about $40 you learn as much or more than a year long college level course in electronics, and from a world class teacher to boot. Amazing!

Hello Paul, thank you very much. I have reallly bad ADHD which makes it difficult to learn things sometimes because I have a very small attention span. Your lesson here gave me a great balance of listening vs doing. makes things easy to understand and easy to follow along. Definitely subscribing and can't wait until the next lesson.

Thank you for a friendly and helpful introduction to this technology Paul.

Excellent turorial. I was hooked in the first 5-minutes. Kit ordered. I am now an Arduino adict! Subscribed.

You are an amazing teacher, just got my kit and learning from you is a great and lovely experience. 😄

I love these tutorials! He's like the Bob Ross of Arduino

Never done any programming before , just bought an arduino so was curious about learning to set up three stepper motors for my small cnc , you are an excellent teacher ,even though I’m seventy I feel I could learn from your videos.👍

thanks a lot :) starting the series today with no electronics knowledge. it looks amazing!

These videos are absolutely amazing and I'm going to follow through hopefully as many tutorials as I can starting with the Arduino tutorials. So for todays assignment, I recorded the delay to be about 15~20 before it started to seem like the led is just on.

Retired University Astrophysics Professor: Been quite a while since Qbasic, this is definitely so much easier as well as wonderfully explained. Kudos well done!!

Love it, thanks so much...I should've been doing this a long long time ago, I am going to watch all your videos. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for such an amazing lesson! It was so great and I easily understood everything. I will definitely work through every lesson on the playlist. Thank you! Much love from Kazakhstan!
