Arduino Programming for Beginners

 21 Hours

In this instructor-led, live training in the UK, participants will learn how to program the Arduino for real-world usage, such as to control lights, motors and motion detection sensors. This course assumes the use of real hardware components in a live lab environment (not software-simulated hardware). 

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Program Arduino to control lights, motors, and other devices.
  • Understand Arduino's architecture, including inputs and connectors for add-on devices.
  • Add third-party components such as LCDs, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and GPS trackers to extend Arduino's functionality.
  • Understand the various options in programming languages, from C to drag-and-drop languages.
  • Test, debug, and deploy the Arduino to solve real world problems.
