Today you'll be learning how to use PICAXE. Hooray! So what is PICAXE? PICAXE is, essentially, a little piece of metal and plastic you can make do stuff. Simple enough? You tell the board to send and receive various electrical pulses, which you can in turn manipulate to drive motors, blink l...

In plain English, you can use the Arduino to read sensors and control things like motors and lights. This allows you to upload programs to this board which can then interact with things in the real world. With this, you can make devices...

Electricity comes in two forms, AC (alternating current), which is like the power that comes from a wall socket, and DC (direct current), which is like the power that comes f...
