Intro to Arduino Interfacing

Course Overview

This course is designed to give students a comprehensive overview of the Arduino microcontroller platform, sensors, actuators, and interfacing. Students will learn about the Arduino development board, how to download the Arduino IDE, and how to interface different sensors with it. They will also learn how to wire and program nine different sensors, including Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), Joysticks, Servos, Ultrasonic Range Finders, Photoresistors (LDRs), Water Depth Sensors, Temperature Sensors, Soil Humidity Sensors, and Capacitive Touch Sensors. All the code that controls these sensors and actuators are available for download. By the end of the course, students will have a better understanding of the Arduino platform and be able to create their own projects.

[Applications]
Upon completion of this course, students can apply their knowledge to create projects that involve interfacing with Arduino. They can use the code provided in the course to create projects such as a light-sensitive alarm, a temperature-controlled fan, or a soil moisture monitor. Additionally, students can use the knowledge gained in this course to create their own projects that involve interfacing with Arduino.
