Electronics explained in a simple way
This week we got a new member. So we revised what we’ve done so far with our new member:
The first week we looked at different robot platforms. We wanted to be able to go forward, backward, and make turns. And we wanted it as cheap as possible. We looked at different platforms at the local store, then settled for one with three wheels, three levels and two motors.

Would you like to just intuitively know?
And I don’t mean having just memorized the answer.
But on a much deeper, intuitive level where you just know because you understand it.
How do you get to a place where you intuitively understand a circuit?

This weekend I went to a Colombian wedding.
And Jefferson went to Barranquilla.
So we decided to cancel this week’s Club de Arduino meeting.
Club de Arduino is a club we started in Medellin, Colombia for beginners or advanced people who want to meet up and build projects together. [Read more…] about Update: It moves! [VIDEO]
Christmas will be different this year.
I’m in Colombia with my wife.
Together with a local group, we’re building an Arduino robot.
It’s warm.
And there’s no snow.
Although I miss the Norwegian Christmas with lots of snow, I’m enjoying the Colombian Christmas very much.
A great way to learn, especially if you don’t have a lot of time to learn all the basics, is to modify things.
That’s how I learned to program by myself as a teenager.
For example:
I found code examples to show an image on the screen.
Christmas is definitely coming up.
And the Christmas lighting here in Medellin is just unbelievable.
Here’s a peek:
