A tutorial series on programming microcontrollers with LDmicro for the absolute beginner who may not be familiar with electronic principles and components is currently running this YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPzl5JwVpGQCCup5YDP0mPw

The tutorial series will take you through the steps of downloading, setting up LDmicro on your computer, use of different program element to create a simple to advance electronic solution

LDmicro is a lightweight, open-source application developed by Jonathan Westhues. It is for the programming of microcontrollers ranging from
Atmel AVR to Microchip PIC. Unlike the traditional programming languages such as assembly, BASIC and C, LDmicro uses a graphical programming language called ladder logic or ladder diagram. It was developed to function like most commercial PLC programming systems. With L-D-micro, you can create, develop & edit ladder diagrams; simulate the functionality of a ladder diagram and compile it into microcontroller native hexadecimal firmware code. LDmicro can also compile ladder diagrams into Arduino sketch for Arduino boards. These and more you will learn in the tutorial series.

Hello,

I'm enjoying your thread on IoT.
I plan to get a Raspberry pi within Lagos. Do you know where I can get one?

I am sure you can get it from Jumia.com

You need Arduino Mega2560 when you are running out of inputs/outputs and memory in your project.
