Follow along as I share my workflow for turning an idea into an Arduino sketch for a functional prototype. This process helps add structure to an amorphous task, especially for beginners.

For this circuit, I used the following supplies:

The process (watch the video above to hear more about each step):

  1. Define your purpose
  2. Classify inputs and outputs
  3. Write pseudocode
  4. Test hardware with sample code
  5. Create your new program
  6. Make incremental improvements
