Arduino: A Robot’s Brain

About

 

This course is designed for anyone with no prior knowledge of Microcontrollers and programming. An Arduino is constructed based on a microcontroller which is an electronic component that can perform three items. It can collect inputs or information from its surrounding environment, process and interpret this information, make a decision, and finally control output devices that are connected to it. Therefore, an Arduino can be employed as the brain of a Robot. This course is recommended for 12-17 age students; however, you can participate in the course at your own discretion.

 

 

The following topics will be covered in this course:

• What is an Arduino?
• Where to start?
• Writing and programming the first Arduino project: flashing lights with LED
• Introduction of C language commands for programming the Arduino (such as Loops,
• Overview of Input/Output (I/O) Interfaces
• Introduction to LEDs, Switches, Buzzers, and Display Devices
• Introduction of functional sensor
• How to connect the Arduino board and its programming
