The original comprehensive course designed for new and intermediate-level Arduino Makers

The Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Sensing the environment by receiving inputs from many sensors, Arduino affects its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and a number of other accessories. It’s intended for anyone making interactive hardware projects.

This course is designed to introduce the Arduino hardware and programming environment to get you started on building projects as soon as possible.
