Arduino Programming for Beginners Training Course

Arduino functions as an open-source, single-board microcontroller designed to create devices that interact with the physical environment by sensing and controlling objects.

This live, instructor-guided program teaches participants how to apply Arduino programming to practical applications, including controlling lighting, motors, and motion sensors. The curriculum is based on working with tangible hardware components in a hands-on lab setting, excluding software-based simulations.

By the conclusion of this course, participants will be capable of:

• Programming the Arduino to regulate lights, motors, and other connected devices.
• Understanding the core architecture of the Arduino, particularly the input ports and connectors used for add-on peripherals.
• Expanding the Arduino’s functionality by adding third-party components like LCD displays, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and GPS trackers.
• Evaluating the range of available programming languages, from C to visual, drag-and-drop tools.
• Testing, debugging, and deploying Arduino systems to resolve real-world problems.

Instructional Format

• Engaging lectures facilitated by discussion.
• Extensive practical exercises and drills.
• Direct implementation tasks within a live lab environment.

Customization Availability

• While Arduino comes in various models and supports multiple programming interfaces (C, C++, C#, Python) and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) (such as Arduino IDE, Visual Studio, etc.), this specific course will utilize:
  • The Arduino Uno board
  • The Arduino IDE
  • The Arduino language (C/C++ based)
• *** Note: Participants must procure their own Arduino hardware and necessary components. ***
  • Hardware kits are available from vendors, for example: Arduino Starter Kit https://store.arduino.cc/products/arduino-starter-kit-multi-language
• Please get in touch with us to arrange alternative configurations if required.
