We are using your tutorials for our Computing lessons (High school ENGLAND) and are really enjoying them so far. We have watched up to lesson 32. BTW INDIGO!!! Thank you Paul McWhorter! From Emmy. Year 8 England.
EXCELLENT! Keep going, and then when you are done with these lessons think about taking the Raspberry Pi Pico W classes. Keep learning, and you will go far! Well done. Tell your classmates hello for me.
I didn't take that subtle hint from the last video to invest in more servos as seriously as it is now clear that I should have! I've got a couple more on the way. What I did do was hook up a red and yellow LED (never green, that's for special occasions!) and brighten and dim them along the X and Y axes. Then I got the idea to hook up an RGB LED to play with blending red and green similarly. I thought about connecting the blue line up to the switch but haven't spent the mental capital to figure out how to handle the pull up resistor function yet.
Indigo !!! Thanks Paul for a great series. I’m a 76 year old retired UK citizen who used to be in IT in yesteryear. I have to confess that the toggle switch logic tested my brain to exhaustion but I think I got there in the end. As a keen aero modeller I’m looking forward to the next servo challenge. Thanks for series Paul. Steve Allsop
indigo is the bestest boy! So I'm a little late to the party but I've been following along so far. Have to say you are a really good teacher. From getting concepts across to informing on why and what is the cause and effect of each aspect of the different components. Thank you for all these videos on so many different systems. And still putting out new content. I have a friend who got your kit and showed it to me. I had mine ordered the next paycheck, lol. So we've been taking this class together. Been a long time since I've actually put some effort into learning something new. So again thank you, so, so much!! keep up the great work in all you're into! Cheers!
INDIGO FROM INDIA. hey paul i watch all of your amazing videos, you dont have idea how much i thank you to 5 year old version of you for making these videos and not giving up, you are very very good at teacher.
Thank you so much for these tutorials! I recently got a job programming PLC's and visualizing circuitry and watching you explain how to solve problems has been massively helpful. Hope and Indigo are doing well!
If you use the Serial Plotter instead of the Serial Monitor and your x and y values are getting graphed in blue and red you can rapidly mix them to make a very light indigo.
Indigo Don't usually leave comments but yes, I watch everything in full. I do all the homework. Sometimes I get it right and sometimes I learn something new. Love your teaching style.
Greetings Paul, Code word is Indigo. I have been watching the entire series as a lecture. I already have the Elegoo kit and an appropriate "wall wart" power supply and will repeat the series doing the circuitry and coding since I learn better taking notes in a lecture and then doing the labs later. I have been an electronics hobbyist since grade school and I am now 75 and still learning. Thank you for this excellent series! I will be applying some of this in building a CNC router and a CNC lathe.
Indigo! Always watch to the end. New to your tutorials. Only been watching for a couple of weeks. Trying to go in order. You are a good teacher and make most of the material interesting. The math is tough for me so I struggle through that. Last time I did any math more complicated than balancing the check book was high school algebra 55 years ago. But I plan on sticking with it and then move on to build the robot car in your next series. Thanks for teaching. God bless.
Hi Paul! I wired up te joystick before the lesson started. Wrote the program tested it and it worked. then watch you do it. and changed the switch to HIGH not LOW. then i hooked up the servo and wrote te program to move the servo in X. switched X to Y and did the same thing( copy paste) to move Y. downloaded the program and BOOOOOM!!!. then watched the video till the end, the homework was already done. Great stuff! (Indigo,gogogogo !)
"INDIGO" This tutorial is absolutely fantastic! The clarity and simplicity with which each concept is explained make it incredibly easy to follow, even for beginners. The hands-on approach, coupled with real-life examples, is a great way to not only understand the theory but also see how it applies in practice. I really appreciate how the video takes the time to break down each component, from understanding the code to setting up the hardware. The explanations about using the Servo library and connecting it with sensors like the photoresistor are particularly useful. For someone like me who is diving deeper into Arduino projects, this tutorial is a goldmine of practical knowledge. The troubleshooting tips provided are also extremely helpful, as they address common issues that learners might face. It’s evident that a lot of thought and effort went into creating this content, and it’s genuinely inspiring to see such quality educational material freely available. I’ve learned a lot and gained the confidence to experiment with similar projects on my own. Thank you for sharing your expertise and making learning so engaging and accessible. Looking forward to more tutorials like this one
Hi Paul, Love the video, I am 80 years young/retired attorney. I doing the course using an STM32 emulating the Arduino. FYI STM32 at the pins is 3.3V while Arduino is 5v. This caused a bit of problem w this lesson: was not reading the SwitchPin, and the JoyStick values were wrong and did not recognize the changes in value when i moved the JoyStick. To fix the Switch in pinMode, I need: pinMode (switchPin, INPUT_PULLUP); for the JoyStick to work instead of using 5V input i utilized the STM32's 3.3V. These revisions fixed all. Now I will move on to the Servo. If there are issue I will post.
Paul, LOVE the videos. Retired EE after 40 years, working for DoD. My Rat Terriers Cooper and Blue watch the videos with me and barked at Indigo. GREAT series, and as other have said, I wish my college professors had been as down to earth as you are! I do the homework on my own, brings back memories of the old IBM 029 Punch machines and System 360/370 from college. Great to have instant feedback now on the compilation results instead of waiting two hours only to find a typo. This is without a doubt, the best $35.00 I have EVER spent! Thank You!! ---Ace
"My name is "Indigo" Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!" - (Inigo Montoya is a fictional character in William Goldman's 1973 novel The Princess Bride)
Indigo, Yes I watch these lessons. Being a disabled shut-in I can not work out in my shop anymore. I was a machinist so now my interest has to change to something that can be done inside the house. Automation and it's control is very fascinating and important to the world we now live in. BTW I am drinking a coke not coffee.
INDIGO ! Mr McWhorter I a following your courses and trying to replicate your projects . Sometimes I do it alone, and sometimes I check how you did it.
As a guy who grew up playing a lot of video games I really enjoyed learning how the joysticks actually work. The analogy to a potentiometer is perfect! Love this series and am very excited to start controlling physical outputs with the joystick. Can't wait for the next time I sit down and learn to control the servo with the joystick
INDIGO! I always watch the complete video. When I teach, I always make sure to give a piece of crucial information at the end of class to avoid any sneaking out! This was another great lesson! I'm building a teaching program for impoverished and at risk kids (STEM and STEAM based) to get them into engineering and science, hopefully aiming them towards careers in those fields. I was a professional musician for decades and did well for myself. I got into electronics and decided to give back to my community by working with kids. It has been the best gig I even had. I am passing your videos on to my students because the explanations are so good and you use math, which seems to be a lost art with some teachers. Again, you cannot truly create a unique project, going into uncharted realms, without some math skills in your toolbox! Thanks again! By the way, I've been doing your video projects each night when I get home from teaching. They have helped me as well!
Thank you for the comment. Really makes me happy to see others are using these lessons to help people. It has always perplexed me why these free lessons are not used in public schools. Schools will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for very lame 'STEM' curriculum which teaches nothing, yet I offer these lessons for free and they are not used by schools.
@@paulmcwhorter It seems like the schools want to sell STEM/STEAM programs to parents and students by showing them projects that light up and move and do exciting things. However, it appears that they are afraid to teach anything that requires too much work. I suspect it's a case of "wow, that video is great but having to do that much work might turn students off." Mastery always requires work. Otherwise we would all be masters,, I've given up trying to get into the head's of the people who run these programs. However, my students have to do the work and because I explain why they have to do it, the happily do the work!
Indigo! Another day, another Paul's Tutorial :)). At the moment watching your tutorials has become a part of my daily evening routine. I have also begone to start my days with black coffee. With Ice only, no milk, no sugar, no sweetner packgages and no vodka ;) added haha. Keep up the great work! I am looking forward to your next videos!
Working my way through these videos and finding them so useful. The theory is proving so much more understandable than it ever did in class many moons ago. Have to say though Indigo seems an unusual name for a dog.
I really love your "under the hood" explanations. I wanted to do mechatronics engineering when I was in school, but ended up doing software development instead. I like the software world, but electronics fascinates me a bit more. Thank you for the most excellent master classes here on UA-cam. Also, indigo.
Thank you! Yes, All the way to the End, Indigo Pup. Without You Paul, I would have a bunch of junk in a plastic tub.... We need more teachers like you !
For some odd reason I keep using the Indigo wire to connect to the servo motor - great tutorial. I'm a software developer who wants to learn about the micro controllers, and I'm loving this series. Keep up the great work!
Another thankyou for your videos. With no experience and your videos, Ive used Arduino to control the direction and speed of a motor. Added push button cruise control. Then added a servo to control steering. My next step is to figure out how to go from prototype to finished project.
indigo - I watched 28-32 beginning to end. Enjoying your videos, sense of humor. I have to have some sweetner in my coffee. I don't like iced coffee, but room temp cofeefee.
I added 10 spaces before Y & Switch, it made nice columns - easier to read.Pupper is Indigo and looks happy. Jumping on homework now. Just picked up 2 of your servos.
Indigo! always watch to the end! I did jump ahead to lesson 34 prior to 32. Completely understand how your using the internal pullup resistor in projects.
Hello professor, you have a beautiful home, I'm sure indigo is the happiest a pup can be. I'm greatly enjoying following your lessons. Please never stop being your wonderful self, as it is much easier to connect with the lessons, given your personable approach and volumes of information. Any naysayers who name you to change to omit the diagrams and may are simply lazy. I've been known to go through a video or two multiple times and skip the extra stuff just to get back to the tiny bit I need to recap on. That's why there's a time bar absolve to scrub through. Thanks a million! God Bless! -J.B.- P.S. I can't wait to advance into your Raspberry Pi lessons. But, one step at a time. 😊
I used to play my playstation using a controller and now I'm learning how its little joystick works, and i have a great teacher who teaches stuff without complicating the topic and is easy to understand and learn.
Secret word: Indigo. Paul, your Arduino tutorials are the best. I recently discovered these tutorials and am going through all of them. I do the homework assignments and have a lot of fun writing Python code to utilize what I have learned. I'm somewhat proficient in Python and C so the programming is simple to me. I'm very excited about learning to build circuits.
The Dog's name is Indigo. Paul, a practical example of a joystick is either a HoveRound which I use ( I have Cerebal Palsy in my legs). I use Arm Crutches otherwise to walk. I also fly a Kaptur Drone which can fly away to 400 feet radius, both from N, S, E, W directions as well as altitude. A pressure sensor determines altitude. It has GPS, which "fences" it to a 400 feet keeping it in range of the transmitter. If it's not very windy, I can fly the Drone back to me and land in the Palm of my hand. That is precision! So two servo motors drive the front wheels of the HoveRound. A good Drone need accurate propeller speed for smooth flight. Wayne
Indigo. Re-watching the series while I wait for the wifi stuff to come out in the new R4 wifi series. Great stuff. Looking forward to more. Thanks again.
Hi Paul, I have to congratulate you. Your "new and improved series of tutorials" is the best introduction to programing I found around!! Even though you prepared this material some years ago, I hope you still reading your student comments. I believe you teaching of math and coding is the perfect mix, you make sense of those formulas nobody takes the time to explain. Great job!!
Hello Paul, I follow your channel and I'm learning a lot. I use this for my scalemodels 1:32. I've used a LDR sensor for turning on led's on the model. You have a healty looking dog there.
INDIGO!!! Some things are so simple when you know how they work, and possibilities can be limitless with a good ideas! Joystick is just 3 simple components, but gave us so much joy! The first Idea which came to my mind is to make a circle of leds and control them by the joystick! Thats my own task for tomorrow ;)
Another great lesson Paul! I did watch until the very end. I am excited to keep trying new circuits and code, so I skipped ahead only to be stopped dead in my tracks by the digitalWrite(sPin, HIGH); code that is in the void setup. I was feeling tired, so I had to wait until today to try again. First I decided to make a potentiometer circuit that lit 5 LEDs at different voltages, and then tried this lesson on the joy stick again. I was more patient and watched you write your code, and that's where I saw what was different between your code and mine. And then it worked!! I exclaimed "Indigo!!" and woke up my neighbors. Oops :) Too much iced coffee today. The repetition of starting the circuit and code from scratch is tremendous for my learning. I thought I would need to have a cheat sheet for the commands that you commonly use, but I am starting to memorize them, and it is an amazing feeling. Thank you!
Indigo! I have always been curious about the joysticks. Especially, when the one on PS controller goes bad. Now I know the exact working tech behind it, so no more banging the gamepad. Thank you so much :)
I watch all your videos to the eNd! you are an inspiration to me anD I can not thank you enouGh for all that you dO for us here on youtube! Thank you Paul and God bless!
Of course we watch all of your videos to the end Mr Paul and we really appreciate your hard work and your amazing tutorials. I cannot understand why there are always some dislikes in your videos. You really dont deserve them! I am not gonna say Indigo to prove that i watched the whole video, but I just did😉😁.Love you!!!
Hello, my most excellent tutor. I don't have the servos required for this practice, neither I will buy them for now (I just don't need them for my projects), but I will do it with two LEDs to ground the concept. Thank you Mr. McWorther.
Hi Paul, I watch every episode to the end and watch again if I don't understand anything. Good boy Indigo. Your tutorials are a great way to learn. Thank you Paul and Happy New Year
Me too I'm following with the r4 class to I'm having a problem with the part of the lesson where the sPin is showing power to get the pullup showing any ideas how to fix it
Fortunately I didn’t panic about servos since I still have my RC car stuff from the 90s. It’s amazing sometimes how something can hang out in a toolbox of small parts from my teenage years, follow me around into my 40s and I still knew exactly where to look for it, wipe off the dust and put it to work. Indigo would probably say that’d be a long time in dog years, lol.
Thank you for the lessons. You explain them in a way anyone can understand. Thanks to you I was able to clarify many of the doubts that tormented me for months.
Thanks for the 'most wonderful' tutorials!!! You are an amazing teacher, and I wish other UA-camrs would post such great videos. Really glad there are 36 more vids, and I always watch to the end. These videos are a great opportunity for me to learn Arduino before i learn C#. But i wish the recommended servos came in a GLORIOUS indigo color like the Elegoo ones... (PS I am NOT carole this is my mom's account)
I loved the lesson, always wanted to know how joysticks work. Understood everything really well, and Indigo is a real cute dog. Thank you for this great series!
Indigo. I have watched the first 32 from start to finish and followed along with everything. I had no Arduino experience prior, but I am learning. I have a hard time knowing how to complete the assignments on my own. I will be picking up the reminder of this series in a couple weeks. Thank you for everything so far and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
We are using your tutorials for our Computing lessons (High school ENGLAND) and are really enjoying them so far. We have watched up to lesson 32. BTW INDIGO!!! Thank you Paul McWhorter! From Emmy. Year 8 England.

hey paul i watch all of your amazing videos, you dont have idea how much i thank you to 5 year old version of you for making these videos and not giving up, you are very very good at teacher.
This was a good opportunity to build my first wiring harness. I cut the indigo wire a little shorter than the others but it all worked out.
Secret word for today was Indigo. I watch all you videos till the end, I like them so much!
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much for these tutorials! I recently got a job programming PLC's and visualizing circuitry and watching you explain how to solve problems has been massively helpful. Hope and Indigo are doing well!
Glad I could help!
Indigo, you are still helping people get hooked into electronics and controllers. Thank you for caring enough to share your blessings.

I do the homework assignments and have a lot of fun writing Python code to utilize what I have learned. I'm somewhat proficient in Python and C so the programming is simple to me. I'm very excited about learning to build circuits.
The Dog's name is Indigo.
Paul, a practical example of a joystick is either a HoveRound which I use ( I have Cerebal Palsy in my legs). I use Arm Crutches otherwise to walk.
I also fly a Kaptur Drone which can fly away to 400 feet radius, both from N, S, E, W directions as well as altitude.
A pressure sensor determines altitude. It has GPS, which "fences" it to a 400 feet keeping it in range of the transmitter.
If it's not very windy, I can fly the Drone back to me and land in the Palm of my hand. That is precision!
So two servo motors drive the front wheels of the HoveRound.
A good Drone need accurate propeller speed for smooth flight.

Indigo. Re-watching the series while I wait for the wifi stuff to come out in the new R4 wifi series. Great stuff. Looking forward to more. Thanks again.
Hi Paul, I have to congratulate you. Your "new and improved series of tutorials" is the best introduction to programing I found around!!
Even though you prepared this material some years ago, I hope you still reading your student comments.
I believe you teaching of math and coding is the perfect mix, you make sense of those formulas nobody takes the time to explain.
Great job!!
Great to hear!
85% of the time, I go to end all the time ... Also, Indigo looks like a faithful companion. Thanks for another good one, Paul.
Thanks for watching!
Hello Paul, I follow your channel and I'm learning a lot. I use this for my scalemodels 1:32. I've used a LDR sensor for turning on led's on the model. You have a healty looking dog there.
Sounds great!
Dear Paul, Thanks for the tutorial. I have gone through the tutorial till the end. The word indigo was a great selection.
I watch everything to the indigo!
ordered new servos
INDIGO!!!
Some things are so simple when you know how they work,
and possibilities can be limitless with a good ideas!
Joystick is just 3 simple components, but gave us so much joy!
The first Idea which came to my mind is to make a circle of leds and control them by the joystick!
Thats my own task for tomorrow ;)
So true!
Thanks for the lesson. Joysticks made easy! Indigo is the colour of your energy.
Indigo! Hi Paul, I'm working through your videos and watch them all right to the end. Fantastic work, thank you Sir
I watch all of your videos all the way through. Sometimes twice. INDIGO!
Another great lesson Paul! I did watch until the very end. I am excited to keep trying new circuits and code, so I skipped ahead only to be stopped dead in my tracks by the digitalWrite(sPin, HIGH); code that is in the void setup. I was feeling tired, so I had to wait until today to try again. First I decided to make a potentiometer circuit that lit 5 LEDs at different voltages, and then tried this lesson on the joy stick again. I was more patient and watched you write your code, and that's where I saw what was different between your code and mine. And then it worked!! I exclaimed "Indigo!!" and woke up my neighbors. Oops :) Too much iced coffee today. The repetition of starting the circuit and code from scratch is tremendous for my learning. I thought I would need to have a cheat sheet for the commands that you commonly use, but I am starting to memorize them, and it is an amazing feeling. Thank you!
Indigo!
I have always been curious about the joysticks. Especially, when the one on PS controller goes bad. Now I know the exact working tech behind it, so no more banging the gamepad. Thank you so much :)
Indigo!! BOOM!! Thanks Mr Paul for the clear, practical and educative tutorials.
Indigo. Thank you very much. We are also using your excellent Arduino tuitorials in our high school in Israel
INDIGO!!!!
Thank you Paul, I am absolutely in love with your lessons.
My pleasure!
i absolutely love your videos, i would recommend to anyone struggling with Arduino program to view your videos.
Indigo. Till today working of joystick was a mystery for me, now solved. thanks a lot.
I watch all your videos to the eNd! you are an inspiration to me anD I can not thank you enouGh for all that you dO for us here on youtube! Thank you Paul and God bless!
Indigo. I absolutely love these videos. I had shelved my arduino until I found your videos. Thanks so much for putting these out.
Great to hear!
Of course we watch all of your videos to the end Mr Paul and we really appreciate your hard work and your amazing tutorials. I cannot understand why there are always some dislikes in your videos. You really dont deserve them! I am not gonna say Indigo to prove that i watched the whole video, but I just did😉😁.Love you!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
A friend of mine just gave me a box of old RC car parts. I took out the servos and have them ready for this project. Indigo!
Hello, my most excellent tutor. I don't have the servos required for this practice, neither I will buy them for now (I just don't need them for my projects), but I will do it with two LEDs to ground the concept. Thank you Mr. McWorther.
I like your compound and Indigo!! I am still watching your videos to the end! God Bless!!
I watches your videos all the way to the end..
Sometimes twice. Thanks... Indigo..
Extremely usefull tutorials Paul!! I am watching it in 2021, almost 2022 hahah. Greetings from Spain!!
I watch your video over and over again. Thank you.
Hi Paul, I watch every episode to the end and watch again if I don't understand anything. Good boy Indigo. Your tutorials are a great way to learn. Thank you Paul and Happy New Year
Hi Paul I am here watching your lessons after 4 yrs. Thank you so much.
"" Indigooo ""
Me too I'm following with the r4 class to I'm having a problem with the part of the lesson where the sPin is showing power to get the pullup showing any ideas how to fix it
Yes I saw Indigo. Thank you Paul for taking the time to do these videos!
My pleasure!
Fortunately I didn’t panic about servos since I still have my RC car stuff from the 90s. It’s amazing sometimes how something can hang out in a toolbox of small parts from my teenage years, follow me around into my 40s and I still knew exactly where to look for it, wipe off the dust and put it to work.
Indigo would probably say that’d be a long time in dog years, lol.
Thank you for the lessons. You explain them in a way anyone can understand. Thanks to you I was able to clarify many of the doubts that tormented me for months.
Thanks for the 'most wonderful' tutorials!!! You are an amazing teacher, and I wish other UA-camrs would post such great videos. Really glad there are 36 more vids, and I always watch to the end. These videos are a great opportunity for me to learn Arduino before i learn C#. But i wish the recommended servos came in a GLORIOUS indigo color like the Elegoo ones...
(PS I am NOT carole this is my mom's account)
Indigo. Thank you Paul. It is my second day but I have watched up to 32 videos. Great content.
Great job!
I loved the lesson, always wanted to know how joysticks work. Understood everything really well, and Indigo is a real cute dog. Thank you for this great series!
Your teaching is fantastic and I am learning so much - rgb(75,0,130)
I watched the video to the end! Helped me out a lot! Thanks!!!! Secret word: "indigo"
Well done!
Indigo. I have watched the first 32 from start to finish and followed along with everything. I had no Arduino experience prior, but I am learning. I have a hard time knowing how to complete the assignments on my own. I will be picking up the reminder of this series in a couple weeks. Thank you for everything so far and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I have watched other videos on this topic, but you by far are the best, thank you!!
Wow, thanks!
Paul: INDIGOOOOO
Indigo: Mcwortererr
Indigo! Thanks for taking the time to make these lessons. I've been following them in order as well as attempting all homework assignments.
You can do it!
