Picked up an Arduino Uno recently, played around with the basics (LED, buttons, displays). When it came to connecting these, there wasn't too much application of EE knowledge. When it came to programming them to work, it was solely some new code, learning how the functions work (like the pin ones), and adding some basic programming concepts like conditionals and loops.

What I'm trying to say is that I want to know if there is a kind of project list to build up on further concepts (especially if there are EE concepts to learn or more complex programming skills to apply). I'm not the best EE or CS person, and I'm not sure exactly what direction to head in with regard to utilizing the Arduino.

Or, what projects do you feel you learned the most about these concepts?

I don't have too many parts (nor the capability to get too many resources).

I have the parts in this kit:

The kit only taught how to use the IDE applied to individual buttons and LEDs. I learned how to use the LCD and 7-segment display. Just kind of stumped on ideas.

If there are any additional parts needed (that are cheap) then I can get them.
