Also, might wanna learn some basic electronics.
With very modular devices, it's easy to avoid that - since you're basically building stuff like as with lego bricks, and things are abstracted form you - but if you need / want to build your own sensors, or customized setups, you'll need to know a thing or two about electronics / circuit analysis and design.
- commandlinefan 7y agoAny suggestions for self study?
- schwich 7y agoFor books, I’ve read “Make: Electronics”, and “Teach Yourself Electronics”. Both were decent, but I’m current going through MIT’s 6.002 class online to go more in depth. I would also be interested in some good self study suggestions.

- nickreese 7y agoI’ve tried diving into this in my spare time. Where do you start if you have a web dev background?
- humansvsrobots 7y agoLearning Arduino might be a good starting point, since they are easy and popular. You'll probably need to learn C, since Arduinos (or the controllers on the Arduino boards) are programmed in C or assembly. There is a cost for equipment and parts when working with hardware. Creating effects in the physical world with your code feels awesome. Learning and building physical tech is just awesome all around.
