Learning Arduino: Foundations

Description

In this course, you will learn :

• Covers the fundamental features and capabilities of an Arduino board, giving beginners the knowledge they need to begin programming their own projects.
• Covers fundamental concepts like configuring the Arduino board with the Arduino IDE.
• Also demonstrates how to connect an LED to your Arduino board and write a programme to make the LED lights blink.
• Also discusses pushbuttons, explaining why they are considered inputs to the Arduino board and how to activate an LED using a pushbutton.
