Abstract. This article gives a bried overview of the Arduino language along with links to various resources and reference data.

Abstract. This article introduces Arduino and microcontroller concepts. The primary purpose of this article is to provide links to existing resources rather than writing a new tutorial. This is a summary microcontrollers that links back to resources I've found useful.

Abstract. This article introduces the concept of embedded systems with a brief overview of microcontrollers and small low-cost computers for embedded applications.

Abstract. As an undergraduate, I remember many occasions where I needed to become proficient in a topic as a step to achieving some further goal. It still happens to me today and I see it happening to my students. This post on Arduino is for people in that situation. You need to build the skill, but diving deep into it isn’t your priority and you just want to learn enough to get by for now. With that in mind, this post deliberately glosses over many of the details, but tries to provide links wherever possible to allow to dive deeper on the topics that either don’t quite sink in right away or that you want to learn more about.

Feedback Control, Control Theory, Sensors and Controls; Whatever you call it, control systems is a difficult topics. For me, part of that difficult was because it was all theoretical. Here I will introduce control theory and show how it can be applied using one of my favorite games, Kerbal Space Program.
