Want information about Arduino

Hello
i am an electronics graduate and have some basic knowledge in micro controllers
i dont know much about their programming and interfacing with other peripherals
but this days i am very much motivated about microcontrollers
i want to learn more about microcontrollers and try my fate in freealancing world
i have seen some jobs on Arduino on internet
please tell me how can i learn that and how and where can i develope my coading skills
and what are the pre requisit require to learn Arduino and From where they can be learned
thanks in advance

all is here : https://www.arduino.cc/

Hi,

As mentioned the Arduino site is where you begin though there is a world of difference between hobby projects and the professional world.

Look around any you will find many suitable Arduino tutorials .
Here just one https://www.element14.com/community/videos/7910

Start to build up your skills on the Adruino by all means and keep detailed records/ portfolio of projects you have actually written so you can show prospective employers etc.

Most chip makers have their own micros out there these days, Microchip, Texas, Cypress, Freescale, ST, to mention but a few, so would think anyone looking to move into software / hardware design would need experience of at least a few others as well.

Going 'freelance' is a much tougher challenge, you really need both the necessary skill sets and ideally the experience of have worked within the industry.

Web based adverts for freelance/ work at home Arduino programmers just sounds like an advert for suckers, do all the programming but try and get the money !

https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials

here u can found basics of electronics, Arduino Shields, sensors/ transducers in the form of tutorials.

also some micro-controller manufactures holds application notes on their site u will learn lot from these.

Arduino is based on AVR family of micro-controllers so find applications at atmel's website.

thanks for your valuable information
