- Arduino Learning Section- As I've watched some other people learn the Arduino system, the two biggest problems I've seen have been not reading the Getting Started section and not reading/knowing about the Learning section. Arduino.cc is your friend. Bookmark it.
- C Programming Quick Reference- I cannot find either the website or the paper copy of the one I used, but this is similar. It was somewhat useful until I found number 3.
- Arduino Companion App- Available where apps are sold. Its a free app available for IOS, Blackberry, and Android. I have no idea if there is/will be a version for Windows or Firefox OS. It has all the functions, libraries, datatypes, etc in a nice offline format. I still use it. Also has a built in resistor calculator. Very nice. (most of the stuff from the app can also be found HERE)
- Jeremy Blum's Youtube Channel- He also has a website. Most of the Arduino tutorials on YouTube are from him. They are pretty useful. My bumper debouncing circuit (which I don't think I ever got around to mentioning) was directly from his channel.
- The Arduino Forum- I haven't personally posted a lot of stuff out there, but there is still a lot of information to be found. If you do need to ask a question, be sure to check out the Sticky sections first. Chances are, you aren't the first person to ask that question, and you want to be sure that you follow posting etiquette.
- Google- 3/4 of the battle is knowing what question to ask. I have a whole tab of bookmarks from all corners of the internet that is full of useful tutorials and forum posts. Also, datasheets are just a click away.
- Various Retailers- If you buy generic parts, often the real thing can be found on a retail website like Sparkfun, etc. That can be useful if you need to know what the real specs are.
- Various other Apps- I have an Ohm's law app and a few others that I use less often.
That's about all I can think of at the moment. If you have favorite source that I missed feel free to comment or fume privately. Of course, this blog is a source, I'm sure there are others as well.
Hope you found this list useful
