Arduino Step by Step: Getting Started

• Build simple circuits around the Arduino Uno, that implement simple functions.
• Write simple Arduino sketches that can get sensor reading, make LEDs blink, write text on an LCD screen, read the position of a potentiometer, and much more.
• Understand what is the Arduino.
• Understand what is prototyping.
• Understand analog and digital inputs and outputs
• Understand the ways by which the Arduino can communicate with other devices
• Use the multimeter to measure voltage, current, resistance and continuity
• Use protoboards to make projects permanent
• be productive with the Arduino IDE, write, compile and upload sketches, install libraries
• Understand what is Arduino programming, it’s basic concepts, structures, and keywords
• Detect and measure visible light, color, and ultraviolet light
• Measure temperature, humidity and acceleration
• Measure the distance between the sensor and an object in front of it
• Detect a person entering a room
• Detect a noise
• Make noise and play music
• Display text on a liquid crystal display

Who this course is for:

• Students over 10 years of age, or younger with with adult supervision. Young students should be supervised at all times when using a soldering iron.
• Students with a little or no prior experience with electronics or programming.
