This article will explore the interactions between resistors and capacitors. For the reader who has never studied either component, the bare minimum you need to know to understand this article is: /posts/why-arduino/ Wed, 06 May 2020 15:36:00 -0400 /posts/why-arduino/ Some folks who may have favorite dev boards which aren’t Arduino UNO might be wondering, why Arduino instead of a more advanced board? I certainly agree that there are more powerful boards for the money. My mind immediately wanders to the Blue Pill. For a beginner in electronics, Arduino UNO and clones may be a better choice since there is a vast amount of information available for Arduino UNO. Yes, the form factor is big and clunky.
