It seems like a lot of people confuse the Arduino (and hence micro-controllers) with the Raspberry Pi, and they have very different uses. Let's talk about them briefly, and I'll even show you how I am using Arduino Mega 2560s in my R2-D2 build! (This video has been updated to correct an error in the original video.) Check out our detailed Arduino Intro Article: https://www.thegeekpub.com/236218/an-introduction-to-the-arduino/ Learn more about my R2-D2 build here: https://www.thegeekpub.com/tag/r2-d2/ Get an Arduino Uno here: https://amzn.to/2GXoyVN Get an Arduino Mega 2560 here: https://amzn.to/2POSQhE Get an Arduino Nano here: https://amzn.to/2GWxk6A Find us on Social Media: http://facebook.com/TheGeekPub http://instagram.com/TheGeekPub http://twitter.com/TheGeekPub

Support this Channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheGeekPub After my last video introducing the Arduino, some of you commented that you needed an example of how the Arduino works that is super simple to understand. So in this video we're going to do the absolute simplest of projects. We're going to be blinking an LED!

Support this Channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheGeekPub I've had many of you ask me how I went about building the full size R2-D2 remote control system. I will walk you through what I have built so far and how I expect to expand on it in the future.  Most of the R2-D2 remote control systems are based on model airplane controls and those are fine, but they're unintelligent systems. Meaning they just send a command to servo in analog format and nothing else. I wanted an intelligent system that I could interface with through many different methods. So I've based my control system on the Raspberry Pi and Arduino platforms using the I2C bus to control everything.
