Description

Welcome to the "Arduino Basics: For Absolute Beginners" course!

This course will take you to the very foundation of Arduino development boards: electronics and programming. That's why in this course, we will not just talk about the Arduino board itself but we will also discuss the basics of electronics and programming.

In this course, we will combine these major elements as the key to understanding the Arduino development environment.

What You'll Learn:

The basics of electronics for Arduino environment
The basics of the Arduino development board
The basics of the C++ programming language for embedded systems
Hands-on projects to learn by experience

By learning these elements combined, you will gain a deeper understanding of how the Arduino board works.

To maximize your learning experience, I have made these adjustments so you can learn better and faster:

Basic English to minimize confusion with terminologies and jargon
Every terminology will be explained
The code will be explained together with the simulators
Doing the actual projects is highly advised
The teaching and coaching method is straightforward
The instructor will not read scripts to better explain what is going on
The sequence of discussions will be step-by-step

Parts and Tools You Will Need for This Course:

A computer for writing programs (desktop or laptop)
An internet connection for online simulators
An Arduino Uno R3 Board
An electronics parts list which you can download in this course
A digital multimeter for testing (optional)

If you don't have these parts and tools at the moment, don't worry; we will use online simulators to get you started.

With this being stated, and if you are ready to start your journey into the world of automation and robotics, then let's begin.

You can check out the previews of the video lessons in this course to get a heads-up on what to expect.

More projects will be added to this course later, so you will have more practice to do.

Let's get started!

Who this course is for:

Beginner with no Knowledge in Arduino and Electronics
Course Refresher for People with Prior Knowledge
For Electronics and Robotics Enthusiasts
For Students who likes to Learn Arduino Development Systems
For Aspiring Computer Engineers and Electronics Engineers
