Basic Electronics with Arduino

Overview

Students use an Arduino microcontroller to build and program real electronic circuits: wiring components on a breadboard and writing C-based code that runs directly on the hardware.

What students learn

• Wiring and testing circuits with LEDs, resistors and breadboards
• Programming the Arduino in C to control lights, sound and motion
• Reading sensors such as buttons, light and temperature sensors
• Debugging both the code and the physical wiring
• A final project combining circuits and code

Arduino introduces embedded systems and hardware programming, the foundation for robotics and physical computing.
