It's been awhile since I've done any sort of tutorial or programming-centric videos and I often get asked how to get started doing electronics projects so in this video I start at the very basics of how to get a project involving the arduino platform up and running. 

Today we will take a look at the arduino pro mini hardware, its features, and an outline of the arduino IDE (integrated development environment, ie programming software). By the end you will be able to program and modify the Blink example sketch/program. 

If you guys have any suggestions on future project videos based on the arduino that you would like to see as part of the arduino 101 series of tutorial videos comment down below. I'd also like to thank the Amazon seller HiLetgo (link to their store, parts below), for the help with the arduino's, breadboard, and prototype wiring used in this video. You can grab the same parts I demonstrated from them and follow along with this series to learn how to make cool gadgets yourself.
