Troubleshooting: what to do if things don't work. Board: description of the Arduino board and its parts. Environment: description of the Arduino development environment and its parts. ### Elsewhere on the Arduino website Arduino booklet: an introduction to physical computing, electronics, and Arduino. | ### External Resources Course guides: Longer documents introducing Arduino: class 1 (getting started), class 2 (input and sensors), class 3 (communication, servos, and pwm), class 4 (piezo sound & sensors, arduino+processing, stand-alone operation). Wiring electronics reference: circuit diagrams for connecting a variety of basic electronic components. Schematics to circuits: from Wiring, a guide to transforming circuit diagrams into physical circuits. Tom Igoe's Physical Computing Site: lots of information on electronics, microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, books, etc.
