Arduino Bootcamp: Build Projects from Scratch

Define a microcontroller and show how Arduino enables hands-on projects. Explore Arduino boards like Uno and Mega, Atmega328p, and core specs such as five volt operation and 7–12V input.

Discover the Arduino environment, from official site setup and IDE installation to board types like Arduino R3 and Arduino Uno, including pinouts and uploading code.

Explore the Arduino Uno pin diagram, distinguishing digital and analog pins, PWM and power pins. Learn how pins support UART, SCL, MOSI, MISO, CS, and LED on pin 13.

Explore the Arduino ide, learn void setup and void loop, initialize pins with pin mode, and blink the built in LED using digitalWrite and delay in Tinkercad.

master basic Arduino programming with setup and loop, declare pins led 13 and a button, use pin mode, digital write, analog read, analog write, delay, and digital read, then upload.

Explore how the Arduino serial monitor outputs program data, reads input, and debugs with baud rate 9600, using serial.print, available, and analog and digital reads on an Arduino Uno.

Learn how to declare and use eight Arduino variable types—including int, float, char, bool, string, array, const, and pin variables—and how to designate pins (analog or digital) in sketches.

Explore four Arduino loop types—for, while, do while, and for loop with arrays—through example code that blinks an LED and prints array values via serial monitor.

Explore how Arduino code uses conditional statements, including if, if else, else if, and switch case, to make decisions based on temperature, print outcomes, and manage default cases.

Learn how Arduino-based embedded systems exchange data using uart, spi, and i2c, plus rs-485/rs-232 and tcp/ip, with master-slave configurations, baud rates, and chip select.
