Course description:

Arduino is both a hardware platform and a programming language. By learning how to build circuits and code, students can add a new level of interactivity to their projects. The Arduino programming language is based on a combination of C and C++. Learn the Arduino platform and programming language to create robots, electronic toys, home automation tools, and much more. This course is an excellent learning journey for the student to understand the building blocks of Integrated circuits using breadboards, transistors, resistors, capacitors, LED, motor controls, etc.

In this course Students will explore a completely new amazing world of interesting projects using both software and hardware. They will learn the basics of Arduino, how to make general purpose input output. We will do a lot of amazing projects on LEDs, and seven segment displays. We will know how to use buttons, PWM (pulse width modulation). We will practice the most common and important programming concepts; if condition, variables, loops, increments and decrements.
