Course Description

This course is an introduction to the Arduino microcontroller, interfacing to input and output devices such as sensors, LCD displays, motors, and an elementary introduction to programming. Students build projects that control volume, patterned games similar to Simon, LED lighting effects, conduct experiments with sound, control motors for objects like toy cars, and use Arduino to add sensors, trigger commands, and motors. The hands-on experience provides students with the confidence to design and build simple electronic projects.
