Arduino Tutorial 5: Understanding and Working With Binary Numbers

You guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will keep this high quality content coming: https://www.patreon.com/PaulMcWhorter This is a tutorial series for absolute beginners. We show complete newbies how to get an arduino up and running, and in this lesson you will write your first three programs. If you want just the arduino, you can get an official arduino uno R3 here: https://amzn.to/3TDu0mz You can pick up the kit I am using in these lessons here: https://amzn.to/3c9SJrO The kit includes all the components I use in this class, and an arduino clone. The magic that happens inside computers and virtually all digital devices is based on Binary Numbers. In the binary number system, you have only two numbers . . . 0 and 1. Larger numbers are represented by having more bits, but each bit is either a zero or a one. The reason for this is that computer chips are made up of huge numbers very simple on off switches. If we consider a switch in the on state as a "1" and the off state as a "0", then any number can be represented by a series of on and off switches. This is the core of how a computer works. You can get the kit I am using for this series at the following link: https://amzn.to/2I7N4Ek You can check out more details about this lesson on our WEB site HERE: https://toptechboy.com/arduino-tutorial-5-understanding-and-working-with-binary-numbers/ [Disclosure of Material Connection: I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.
