Overview
Arduino is an open-source, single-board, microcontroller for building devices that can sense and control objects in the physical world.
In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to program the Arduino using advanced techniques as they step through the creation of a simple sensor alert system.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand how Arduino works.
- Dig deep into the main components and functionalities of Arduino.
- Program the Arduino without using the Arduino IDE.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
Course Customization Options
- Arduino is available in different models and supports different programming interfaces (C, C++, C#, Python) and IDEs (Arduino IDE, Visual Studio, etc.). The following will be used for this course:
- Arduino Uno board
- Arduino IDE
- Arduino language (based on C/C++)
- *** Participants are responsible for purchasing their own Arduino hardware and components! ***
- Hardware kits can be purchased from suppliers, such as: Arduino Starter Kit https://store.arduino.cc/genuino-starter-kit
- To request a different setup, please contact us to arrange.
