Learn how to use Arduino hardware and software in this full course for beginners. Arduino is an easy-to-use, open-source electronics platform. Arduino boards are able to read inputs – light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message – and turn it into an output – activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board.

No hardware is required for to follow along with this course!

I hope that this course helps people who are just starting their journey with Arduino or have some brilliant project ideas in their mind but are clueless about how to program an Arduino. This course will begin with the basic electronics concepts and then gradually teach about Arduino Programming. Arduino's programming language is derived from C++, so this course will also cover essential C++ concepts.

During my time working with Arduino, I have seen many people building great projects and product prototypes using this piece of hardware. Artists, designers, and even chefs who had absolutely no idea about electronics, sensors, and programming coupled their creativity with electronics and came up with fantastic work.

So this course is also an attempt to encourage people, regardless of their background, to start building stuff that they have in their mind without thinking that they don't know enough to begin.

Certainly, this course is not the end to the world of Arduino. For making some projects, one may need to know advanced concepts such as EEPROM, interrupts, communication buses like SPI, I2C, etc. But before moving to that, one needs to familiarize themselves with the basics.

I look forward to seeing the projects people come up with after finishing this course.

Thanks a lot 💯

thanks bro

Sir how making car Crank and cam signal generator please explain video

https://youtu.be/ypXqqdPrYQQ

This should be taught in school, not on higher education. It is the best way to learn coding and electronics.

I cannot thank you enough Boss.
I can only say for now, REMAIN BLESSED!

Very well done .
Great teaching

thanks buddy

Worst explanation ever.. Learnt only 10% rest is useless. Only programming.. Programming.. Without any Arduino programme

This was really very helpful sir. I must appreciate it
Can you tell me which software you are using at 50:22, when you explain the breadboard or share the link so that I can download it

Hello all,
I am working on a project but I am not able to download AFmotor library if u could tell how to install the library it would be good thanks.

Thank you for this video. Please do I need to have the an Arduino board connected to my PC to be able to view the output of my serial monitor?

Thanks for this free course

Hello! Is this C language or C++ language? Or is a similar programming language? I already know C++ and I would like to program arduinos and I don't know what programming language should I learn…

The programming section are likely to revise c language as it is the fundamental language for arduino… Happy to see this..

Can i get certificate from this ?

I cannot see the screen values

Sir thank you for making this video. You’re amazing 🤩

Arduino NANO

I have learned whole Arduino code for beginners in this video i love it.

I have a problem I can not solve:

1. I downloaded the driver and windows is able to recognise my arduino

2. I have an arduino clone

3. The bootloader is working because when I press the reset button the L led blinks 3 times

4. I choose the correct board in the arduino ide which is arduino uno

5. I choose the correct com port

6. I have done the loop back test and it has failed for some reason.

And after all of this it still can not upload to my arduino for some reason I always get this error code:

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Uno"

Sketch uses 924 bytes (2%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.

Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
