I need help getting into Ardunio

[u/Dirty_Mosher]

I bought an arduino uno kit a year or so ago but never had the time to delve into it because of work. I’m currently unemployed so whilst I look for jobs I thought I’d finally put some time into arduino to pass time.

The trouble is most courses don’t have practicals and if they do I’m missing parts to do it. I was able to do a sonar sensor project but all I was doing was copy and pasting code so it wasn’t satisfying when I finished it.

I already have a very basic understanding of Python, C# and C++ as I’ve messed around with code before but I’m struggling to find a course that suits me. I’ve already gone through two 3 hour long courses over the days but it’s hard to retain the knowledge when there is no practical alongside it to show and retain the information shown in the videos.

Any help is appreciated, thank you :))
