What is Arduino Basics?
Arduino is a programmable circuit board. Together with a variety of development kits, and ready-made software, it provides a low-cost and easy way for beginner hobbyists to professional to build a digital device. Arduino acts as a gateway between the real world and the digital world, allowing the device to interact with the environment using sensors and actuators. Automatic rubbish bin, security system, robotic arm are some interesting project ideas for beginners to start with.
Why Arduino Basics?
An Arduino project marries together circuits, coding, DIY, problem-solving, and creativity disciplines. Its cost-effective and easily accessible makes Arduino is awesome for beginners looking to get started with electronics and programming. Electronics wise, the Arduino board is equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O), UART, I2C pins. These industry-standard interfaces enable you to use a broad variety of development kits on the market today. Programming-wise, Arduino is a simplified version of the C++ programming language, which is an easier path to entering the programming world.
