I got an Elegoo Uno R3. What do I do with it?
install gentoo

create a blinking led program and brag to your friends how you are a master at embedded programming and how assembler is so much superior to any other language
>>58003088
And then when your friends ask for tech help tell them it's too high-level and full of bloat for you.

Okay, I made a blinking LED program. Is that all I can pretty much do at the moment since I have no other parts?
>>58003531
Yes.
Buy some motors, sensors, relays and start controlling some basic shit, like your coffee machine, with your Arduino.

Shouldn't you have decided that before buying one?
>>58002938
You usually do it the other way around. Buy shit for a purpose, otherwise you're blowing money away for the sake of novelty, which is something you always will regret at some point.

See my point?
Regardless, make a robot waifu out of it.

To be fair, I happened to buy several items that were linked here on /g/, thread 404d, then I forgot what it was for, but at the time it seemed very useful to have.
I should have made a note, instead of just lazily bookmarking an archived thread for later peruse.

Just one blinking LED?
>>58003531
plenty of other shit you could do without other hardware. For a start, connect some wires from ground and digital output to your tongue, and zap your tongue at different frequencies.
Next make a light detector using the capacitance of the LED.
After that, make a text mode adventure that plays via the serial interface.

I got it as a gift.

>make a robot
This is my eventual goal.
