Michael (Mike) McRoberts, also known as ‘TheArduinoGuy’ on Twitter, has been programming Arduinos for well over 10 years, for personal use, for collaboration with other people's projects, and for commercial products. Mike discovered Arduino when he was looking to build a cloud sensor to help with his hobby of astrophotography. In researching the various techniques possible to detect levels of cloud coverage, he came across thermopile sensors and needed a way to take readings from one and send them to a laptop.
Mike has run hundreds of Arduinos and Raspberry Pi workshops at various places around the UK and has built several devices using Arduino, ESP8266, ESp32, and Raspberry Pis, as well as other microcontrollers. In 2018, he won the Raspberry Pi robotics competition held at Cambridge University in England. He has also been authoring famous books on Arduino for beginners.
Over the years, Mike has developed a teaching style that is especially suited to making complex subjects appear clear and simple. Mike takes a lot of time and effort to ensure every lecture is clear and easily understandable to even the most inexperienced student.
