All the 'Adafruit' Arduino tutorials can be found HERE. These are an excellent series of tutorials that will give you some of the skills and understandings needed.
You should notice that some tutorials follow on from each other. Lessons 4, 5, 8 & 9 for example. Therefore, you should complete those one after another.
You can also chose to complete some tutorials form the "Arduino Starter Manual" which can be found on Compass.
Lastly, you can complete tutorials that you have found yourself either form one of the many links I have provided or from your own searching.
TASK:
Complete 4-6 tutorials. These should be increasing in complexity and should be relevant and useful for the type of project you intend to make for the CAT. Do some initial research and reading to decide on which tutorials you would like to complete. When they start getting more complex, yu will have to check the availability of components.
Each tutorial needs to be documented. To do this, create a table like the one bellow in Word and fill it out as you go.
