Overview

Arduino is a prototype platform (open-source) based on an easy-to-use hardware and software. It consists of a circuit board, which can be programmed (referred to as a microcontroller) and a ready-made software called ArduinoIDE (Integrated Development Environment), which is used to write and upload the computer code to the physical board. Arduino provides a standard form factor that breaks the functions of the micro-controller into a more accessible package.

This 3-day instructor-led course is intended for enthusiastic students or hobbyists. With Arduino, one can get to know the basics of micro-controllers and sensors very quickly and can start building prototype with very little investment. This course is intended to make you comfortable in getting started with Arduino

Program Prerequisites

This course is designed for Developers already familiar with the basics of Python. Knowledge in Python OOP is an added advantage. A basic understanding of microcontrollers and electronics is also expected.

Course Objectives

Participants will

  • Learn the basics of electronics, including reading schematics (electronics diagrams)
  • Learn how to prototype circuits with a breadboard
  • Learn the Arduino programming language and IDE
  • Program basic Arduino examples
  • Prototype circuits and connect them to the Arduino
  • Program the Arduino microcontroller to make the circuits work
  • Connect the Arduino microcontroller to a serial terminal to understand communication and stand-alone use
  • Explore the provided example code and online resources for extending knowledge about the capabilities of the Arduino microcontroller

Mode of Delivery

Every participant will be provided with course notes and are required to bring in their own laptops for hands-on exercise and practice sessions.
