Video tutorials
A series of video materials with tutorial material - to help get people up and running with programming Arduino devices with XOD.
This video will introduce you to the No-code Programming for Biology video series. This series has been developed by the Biomaker programme to accompany the No-Code Programming for Biology online course.
We developed the No-Code programming course to make it easier for biologists to start building their own devices, but the tutorials can be followed by anyone who wants to get started with no-code programming of Arduino devices. The course uses the free visual programming software XOD and the hardware is based on a low-cost Arduino microcontroller and other low-cost and easily accessible components. (Steph Norwood)
Part of an online workshop exploring how to get started making your own custom devices for biological research. This is a recording of the first session of the No-Code Programming for Biology Online workshop held on 11th and 13th November 2020. This workshop accompanies tutorial material from the first lessons in the No-Code Programming for Biology Beginner's Guide: (https://www.biomaker.org/nocode-programming-for-biology-handbook). The tutorial covers graphical programming of the Seedstudio Grove Beginner Kit with XOD, the microcontroller and the XOD IDE, as well as how to test your board and programme an LED, buzzer, button and knob potentiometer.

Learn more about the Biomaker Challenge 2020 - what its all about, and how to apply! This is a recording of the presentation from the online briefing and mixer event held on 16th November 2020. The Biomaker Challenge is run annually to encourage, support and fund small interdisciplinary teams of researchers to develop projects and prototypes at the intersection of biology, engineering and computer science.

This video tutorial will guide you through how to connect an external LED to your Arduino board using male pins and female-female hook-up wires. It will go through how to connect the LED directly to the Rich UNO R3 board's male pin set, as well as how to use an expansion shield.

This video tutorial will guide you through how to connect your Rich UNO R3 Arduino board (from the Biomaker extension kit) to a computer, and how to test the board using XOD visual programming software. ( (Steph Norwood))
A series of video tutorials describing the use of the XOD graphical programming environment with Arduino hardware - including tutorials composed by Dr. Carlos Lugo and Dr. Marco Aita at the University of Cambridge.
