What Will I Learn?

• Master your Arduino, starting from scratch
• Become confident to create your own Arduino projects
• Create an interactive obstacle detection application
• Build your own Arduino circuit with many hardware components
• Program the Arduino with C/C++
• Create an online simulation of the course project
• Learn through hands-on lessons
• Practice a lot with 20 activities and a big final project
• Learn by doing and not just watching
• Understand the “why” behind things
• Start directly with the best practices
• Develop an engineer mindset when solving problems
• Setup and optimize the Arduino IDE
• Master digital and analog pins
• Work with LEDs, push buttons, potentiometers
• Communicate between your Arduino and your computer through Serial
• Save values on the Arduino with EEPROM
• Solve the delay problem with millis and micros
• Multitask your programs
• Debounce a push button
• Discover Arduino interrupts
• Use interrupts with the ultrasonic sensor
• Measure distances with an ultrasonic sensor
• Print text with a 16x2 LCD screen
• Control the Arduino with an InfraRed remote controller
• Measure luminosity with a photoresistor
• Install an Arduino library with different versions

Requirements

• As the entire course can be done with a free online simulation tool, no hardware component is needed to complete the course.
• But if you want to do the real Arduino circuit (recommended), you’ll need an Arduino board and a few other components (list of components available in a free preview lesson).
• NO required knowledge in Arduino, programming, hardware, or engineering.
• Just a motivation to start doing fun and useful Arduino projects.

Target audience

• Students, Engineers, Researchers, Teachers, Developers, Hobbyists
• Arduino makers who feel stuck and want to really understand what they’re doing.
• Software developers who want to discover the electronics/hardware world.
• Anyone who has a hardware project idea and wants to bring it to the world.
• Anyone who wants to use fast prototyping for a hardware product, using the Arduino.
