Welcome DigiKey’s Arduino Opta kit provides an excellent way to learn PLC programming and the fundamentals of industrial control and automation. This page identifies a series of labs designed to get you started. This article is part of the DigiKey Field Guide for Industrial Automation Location: T…

I purchased the kit “items from the shared list” after the presentation. Couple switches weren’t available so I found replacements. I’ve done the first couple lessons. How do I unlock the later lessons? I’ve emailed arduino help and can’t get a response. [opta]

I did contact you and you haven’t answered my question.

Hi @bobtx , sorry about that, it looks like Nathan accidentally replied to the email queue instead of directly posting here, so all we can see is his email signature. As far as your question goes, are you referring to the Arduino course linked here? [image] Arduino Opta Essentials (ACE-100)…

Yes, I’ve got the platform built and I’ve gone through the first 3 lessons and was on a roll. I might be the first but likely not the last to run into this. Regards, Bob Wilson Bob@IndustrialAndons.com www.IndustrialAndons.com ▶ (attachments)

Hello Bob, The Arduino ACE-100 course provide an excellent basic introduction to the Arduino Opta. Arduino likely has plans for follow up courses to explore advanced topics. Consequently, there is nothing to unlock at this time. As we wait may I offer a few ideas: The page you are reading has a…

According to the Digikey seminar and Arduino’s site: https://academy.arduino.cc/courses/opta-ace-100 This is supposed to be 6 modules with about 16hrs of training. The first 3 modules are public and the rest are only if you have the OptaPLC and hardware. I did the first 3 modules in about 30 minut…

Hello Bob, There are six modules in the latest edition of the ACE-100 Opta course as seen in this screen shot: [image] It’s possible that you are logged into an earlier version of the course. Please go to your dashboard and select “View more courses.” From there, please reenroll to access the la…

Correct, but you can’t access them unless you somehow prove you have the OptaPLC module which I have but can’t find where to submit that I have it. So my only option when logged in is the free course. [image] When I click on “View more courses” it literally takes me back to here: [image] Rega…

Understood @bobtx , Request sent to Arduino. Sincerely, Aaron

I appreciate your help on this. I also ordered the book you mentioned. Thank you! Regards, Bob Wilson Bob@IndustrialAndons.com www.IndustrialAndons.com

I too just tried to get access to the 6 modules. I signed up for the early access but only have access to the 3 modules. We will have to wait to hear from @APDahlen.
