OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this mini-course is to get you comfortable using Arduino, a common beginner-friendly, robotics controller platform.
By the end of this mini-course, you will understand the key electronics and Arduino-related concepts that will help you succeed in electronics. Grasping these topics will make learning and understanding more advanced topics much easier.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
This course will cover:
How to set up and use the Arduino platform
How to use a breadboard
Digital signals and how to use them
Analog signals and how to use them
PWM signals and how to use them
Many practical examples using Arduino
Tools to prepare you for making projects on your own
HOW WILL YOU TEACH ME
To gain a foundation in each topic, you will be taken through the following process:
1. LEARN - Explanation of Theory
2. PRACTICE - Examples Together
3. MASTER - Independent Projects
This course contains 2 hours of video content, 4 step-by-step example projects, 3 challenge projects, and a final project to put everything you learnt together.
Please Note: To follow along with the course you must either use Tinkercad's Arduino Simulator (free software but requires an account) or purchase the recommended hardware for this course. If you are unsure which option is best for you please watch Lecture 5 for guidance.
