Curriculum

Introduction to Arduino

This introductory section sets the foundation for your Arduino journey. You'll learn about Arduino's capabilities and its applications, explore the necessary hardware and software components, set up the Arduino IDE, understand the Arduino simulator, and begin with a classic ‘Hello, World!’ style blink project and learn the basics of the serial monitor. This lays a solid base for the programming concepts which will follow.

Essential Arduino Programming

This section deep-dives into the core programming language used with Arduino. You'll learn about data types, arithmetic operations, variables, operators, arrays, conditional statements (if statements), loops (for and while), functions, variable scope, string manipulation, random number generation, and how to effectively read serial input. This comprehensive introduction prepares you for the practical projects in the later sections.

Controlling LEDs and Digital Outputs

Here, you’ll move into the practical application of your programming skills. This section starts with the fundamentals of breadboarding and using resistors with LEDs. We’ll cover blinking LEDs, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for analog control of LED brightness, controlling multiple LEDs simultaneously, and constructing a binary counter. You'll even build an RGB LED project to reinforce your understanding.

Mastering Digital and Analog Inputs

This section focuses on how to interact with various input devices. You will learn about switches, buttons (including debouncing techniques and pull-up/pull-down resistors), and potentiometers, demonstrating how to use these components to control other elements in your circuits. You’ll build practical circuits to solidify your understanding of these input methods.

Sensor Integration

This section teaches you how to incorporate different sensors into your Arduino projects. You’ll explore the principles of light detection using photoresistors, motion detection with PIR sensors, distance measurement using ultrasonic sensors, and temperature sensing. Each sensor is explored through practical examples, building your sensor integration skills.

Displaying Information

Learn to visualize your data effectively. This section covers how to display information on one-digit and four-digit 7-segment LED displays, mastering the technique of multiplexing for four-digit displays. You'll also learn to use LCD screens and integrate a buzzer to add sound to your projects. Each lesson includes practical coding examples and complete project builds.

Controlling Physical Output: Motors

This section delves into the world of motors. You’ll differentiate between different motor types, focusing specifically on brushed DC motors and servo motors. We’ll construct a practical project: an obstacle-avoiding robot that utilizes sensor data and motor control, culminating in a challenging but rewarding project.

Advanced Techniques: IR and WiFi

This section pushes your skills further with advanced topics. You’ll learn to use IR remotes to control your Arduino projects, mastering the techniques of IR signal reception and processing. Then, we'll explore internet connectivity using ESP8266 and NodeMCU modules. This culminates in a project to retrieve real-time weather data from the internet, combining many skills learned throughout the course.

Conclusion

The final section wraps up the course, providing you with concluding remarks and resources to continue your learning.
