Lab Resources:

For this resource page we need basic Arduino connection tools and ladder logic resources for now:

Arduino Connectivity:

Here's Arduino's Getting Started page.

Here's a third party guide to getting started. Is this more useful?

Here is Jeremy Blum's Tutorial #1 -- Jeremy's page and book are excellent resources.

Ladder Logic:

Start by reading the first 20 pages of this introduction to Ladder Logic. Every tutorial seems to take a slightly different approach due to the needs of specific manufacturers but this gives a solid introduction. As STEM student you should take the time to make sure you appreciate his alarm siren circuit discussion at end of the section.

This is an interesting website which documents many of the standard ladder logic diagrams for use by traditional coders. We will be working in the opposite direction hopefully.
