Details of the badge here.Getting started, general electronics. Some of the electronics you need for having fun with Arduinos, etc, you can pick up as you go along. You really do need to understand the basics to be able to proceed smoothly, instead of stumbling from confusion to confusion. When you are ready to face that fact, I hope what is on the menu this link takes you to will be helpful.
Connecting things to LANs and the internet: Not for the faint hearted... but if you are ready for a "from the ground up" series of essays on this subject, this is for you. Tells you about, say, putting IP cams online. Webservers... your own, not using a hosting service. Arduino, ESP8266s and other IoT devices. These essays give you the fundamental knowledge, in a carefully planned sequence. It isn't hard, when you follow the sequence... but there are many bits to get right. This essay written after at least 15 years of learning the hard way, and multiple previous attempts.
Sensing and control. Tutorials and FAQ answers for hobbyists or schools.
BBC BASIC setup and getting started . Great implementaion for Windows, 2025. Free! Don't be too proud to spend some time playing with BASIC... it was the language a whole generation cut its teeth on. I really like Lazarus... see the next section... but it can be a bit daunting for novices!
Lazarus tutorials for novice and intermediate programmers. Lazarus is free and multi-platform, and well worth the time of someone who is serious about learning a bit about programming, or wanting to use a "grown up's" general purpose programming language. It grew out of the proprietary Delphi, and the tutorials from the next link will often apply directly to Lazarus programming as well.
Delphi tutorials for novice and intermediate programmers. Probably my most important contribution to the internet. Delphi programmers are, I admit, an esoteric audience! These tutorials should also inform the Lazarus programmer, please do contact me if you find something in one of them won't also work in Lazarus.
Guide to programming in Pascal... with a link to a suitable free compiler. Graded exercises. (Lazarus and Delphi are Pascal-based.)
Page of links to material for schools or hobbyists interested in weather monitoring, especially via the Dallas / Maxim 1-Wire / MicroLan / iButton.
Introduction to stock market investing- Explanation and thoughts from an experienced amateur.
And, begging your pardon for a little bit of self-indulgence: Tribute to a great teacher and gifted sculptor.

Unlike the clever Google search engine, freefind's merely looks for the words you type, so....
* Spell them properly.
* Don't bother with "How do I get rich?" That will merely return pages with "how", "do", "I"....
Disclosure: freefind tells me what people have searched for. It doesn't tell me your personal details. (If someone would "spy" on you, wouldn't they also feel free to lie in a "privacy statement"? Not to say I'm not lying... how can you tell?... but to say "What are privacy statements worth?".
(To search my other sites, first go to one of them, Then use its search button.)I'd advise you not to wasting time on the material below. It is only here to help me with my site's "sitemap", which you may know about. And if you don't, again, I wouldn't commend the subject to you.
