Introduction
Hi there!
If you're looking to subscribe to AdaBox, click here!
(https://adafru.it/tNC)
If you're here, it's because you were given the gift of electronics with an AdaBox! You are a beginner who is getting
started with your AdaBox or you just want to relive what it's like being a beginner at electronics again. But most of all,
you want to learn how to build and make stuff with electronics! (If,
rather than learn electronics, you'd like to look at
pictures of cats instead, please check https://www.adafruit.com/galleries/cats-of-engineering
(https://adafru.it/oAd))
And, you're in luck: there's
never
been a better time.
Gone are the days where you need thousands of dollars of equipment and lots physics/math background. Nowadays, if
you want to learn to work with electronics, you can jump right in for $100 or less, and any sort of computer. And we're
talking about learning
a lot
of electronics - from the basics of analog to the complexities of firmware. With a good pack
of parts, you can build a base of knowledge that will take you from your first blinking LED to someone who can start
prototyping and inventing custom products.
Who is this for?
Anyone with a computer they can install software on, an Arduino or compatible and the ability to type and click a
mouse. That's pretty much the minimum. Remember, this guide is specifically for people who have purchased or
received an AdaBox subscription!
You don't need to know a lot of physics or math, and just like an Art Degree isn't required for making art and being
creative, you
don't
need to have a computer science degree. It helps if you're comfortable using computers but that's a
skill most people pick up through life.
If you know how to program already - great! If not, don't worry, we'll teach you enough to be dangerous.
Who isn't this for?
While you can follow along without an AdaBox, it will not make as much sense unless you have
all
of the components
and more which either came as a gift or purchased yourself - remember, the goal is helping beginners!
If you're an expert, please visit our hundreds other tutorials and jump right in at

Who are you?
Great question. This is me:
I'm Ladyada, and I love to teach people how to build stuff and how they can be creative with technology.
So, are you ready?
Let's do this thing!
