Arduino 101- Crash Course w/ Mark Rober

I just think of how different my life could have been if I had more teachers that could engage their audience like you do Mark. Love your work.

The nerds were the cool kids all along.

I’m an electrical/computer engineer and I love using Arduino for projects. This is a great big picture explanation of how it all works together. Nicely done!

Mark hit the nail on the head describing robotics: just inputs and outputs creatively mapped to each other through a computer. The only tricky bit is to figure out and lock down the interfaces between the components and the microcontroller's code. With robust interfaces, writing the actual code logic to do something useful becomes a walk in the park. Luckily, there's tons of code libraries that do this for you already--you just gotta find them and understand which one to use for which component type. Hoping for a follow up video like this one describing communication methods & protocols (analog, digital, pwm, i2c, serial, CAN, etc.) and for what types of components they're typically applicable to

What i love about Marks videos are that they are for all ages. He explains it in a way that makes sence to all ❤

This breakdown was amazing, ive always been facinated with eletronics but stopped one step shy of code or circuit boards. i cant wait to learn more!

This was an awesome, to the point crash course, Mark. I'm truly excited CrunchLabs is stepping up to the next level. Good luck in your journey 👍

That was really interesting! As an animator I always imagine making something animated in real life. I am not a technical dude but watching this it makes me feel a little more like it could be possible! 🎉😊

Super. Literally in the process of building a fist-bumping robot, but having trouble learning about arduinos. Then my favorite youtuber posts a video about it. Great stuff man. 👍👍

Dude Mark has such a gift for teaching. Well done brother you are going to inspire a lot of people with just this video alone!

Thankyou best information about coding from a legend my boy is almost 6 and has nearly finished the first year of your build boxes ( he just turned 5 when he started)and he loves it he also remembers each one, what was special about them and hasn't broken them yet.

just got into a project that involves these and wow, you covered all the components that we're using. Nicely done!

As a self taught intermediate arduino coder/builder, the way how Mark explains is the best that you can get for beginners. A great applaud from me. Great job Mark!! :DD 🔥🔥

Man this is amazing. I always wanted to learn this when I was a kid and never knew how to do it. Now I can't wait for my nephews to grow up and show them all your videos and make fun machines together. Thanks Mark

You have an uncanny way of explaining things simultaneously in laymen's terms and appropriate vernacular. Honestly, from my perspective, you're the absolute best internet educator out there. Your ability to simplify topics that many would consider overly complicated and then explain their structure and function in relatable detail is second to none. Thank you very much for everything you've done, you currently do, and will potentially will do.

If they are not already - the US GOV should subsidize your videos for helping academic heads learn about how to apply their knowledge practically in entertaining ways. You are more important to our long term national security than you realize. Thank you for what you do Mark.

I don’t often comment but I just have to say I love what you’re doing here! I remember getting my first arduino in middle school and now I’m getting Unity, Java, and C# certified! Teaching something as accessible as arduino in such a fun way will surely provide the next step for countless people into so many extremely well paying jobs, as well as teach children how to follow their passions all by themselves! You’re a saint for doing this! Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for this sir, you are that one youtuber who has completely explained how this wonderful tech works in the simplest way possible and now kids won't have to learn it the hard way!! Way to goo!! Hats off!!!!

Arduino programming is absolutely the best way to get people into coding. It is very easy, uses the same logic that all programming uses, and gives visual and cool feedback. It is like a 'hello world' program on steroids. And the cheapness of things like 45 piece sensor kit and a few LEDs and cheap motors means you can do amazing things.

Best video I’ve ever seen on YouTube … like the most helpful for building stuff electronically. I feel confident enough to buy an Arduino now & start tinkering. You are epic Mark!!!
