Buen curso para comprender lo básico de algunos componentes que se usan comúnmente con Arduino, no se explica casi nada de código y muy poca explicación sobre la herramienta virtual.

The first video directs you to 123d.circuits.io and it is a dead link. Although the information is good you need to search to find the correct site. The video needs to be taken down. and a new one in its place. https://www.tinkercad.com/circuits This is the new site. The second video with the Blink program is so, so over done. There are many, many already on youtube.

It was a little too advanced for me. This is my very first exposure to Arduino and I know nothing about electronics/wiring/ohms, resistors, capacitors, etc. What I viewed was very interesting but much of it was over my head. Knowing automatically which pins to place wires on a breadboard, for example, was way beyond my knowledge at this stage. I need something more basic. Thank you!
