About the Course

Arduino senses the environment by receiving inputs from add-on devices such as sensors, and can control the world around it by adjusting lights, motors, and other actuators. In this class you will learn how and when to use the different types of sensors and how to connect them to the Arduino. Since the external world uses continuous or analog signals and the hardware is digital you will learn how these signals are converted back-and-forth and how this must be considered as you program your device. You'll also learn about the use of Arduino-specific shields and the shields software libraries to interface with the real world. Please note that this course does not include discussion forums....

A good introductional course, where i'm able to learn the basics and some more. A recommended course for anyone who is willing to learn more about arduino or start learning arduino.

Great course! You will learn much on Arduino projects and Arduino Shields.

This course earns my highest recommendations and is ideal for someone who wants to learn more on IoT.

Great demos. The exercises could use improvement; too much requisite knowledge of C. Led to alot of cheating.

the assignments and videos dont match for 3rd module. the assignments are way too tough.

The EEPROM project in week 3 is undoable with the specified simulator, as the simulator is simply not functional. I tested different computers, windows and mac operating systems, different browsers, different security settings, etc. Nothing works. The assignment is also way beyond the level of an introductory course. In addition, the complete lack of discussion forums attached to the course suggests that it is preferable to shut off discussion than to address the problems. Speaking of which, a search of the general forums indicate that this has been an ongoing issue since the latter half of 2015. Seriously, what the hell? Many people don't have a ton of extra money to throw away on garbage, and you are selling a defective product.

It was a very enjoyable course up till the end of module three where things went a bit awry; mosty due to the unexplained withdrawal of the discussion forem and the failure of the third party platform to perform correctly at 123D (which left us doing assignments that couldn't be completed with the assigned tools).

A big part of the fourth module was about connecting and communicating with the internet via ethernet and wifi. That was a bit lost on me, mainly because i didn't really appreciate why i should want to (I can understand many reasons, but none felt very close at hand). I think it would have been more enjoyable with useful examples and practice.

Ok, the course is still worth doing, but i think there is much room for creating a smooth and enjoyable learning process. It felt more like a beta version.

Peer graded reviews are very painful to complete, since they may or may not be graded by other students. Moreover, even after being graded, coursera does not automatically mark my course as completed.

Excellent course on setting up an Arduino web server using Ethernet/WiFi. You can get a web server up and running on your Arduino after this course that allows you to remotely access the Arduino via internet to get digital/analog sensor input and control basic actuators connected to it. Prof. Harris presents materials in a clear and interesting way. Looking forward to the next course on Raspberry Pi. Thank you.

Great course for newbies and also for professionals from related disciplines. This was the first course i enrolled, and after finishing it, it left me with hunger for more knowledge on Arduino platform and IOT development, so i enrolled for the whole specialization. Great respect and many thanx to Sir Ian Harris. So loyal to his teaching techniques.

I really loved this course. The way this course is outlined and presented by the instructor is really amazing. Clears all the concepts from the very basic to advance. Certainly one the best courses on coursera available right now. Thanks to coursera and UCI for providing such a wonderful course.

All the basic and fundamental concept has been explained in this course. I would like to recommend this course to any one who is new or learning Arduino. Very useful course. I got chance to learn learn many thing and many thing I revised. Thanks and very much respect to Mr. Ian Harris.

The Professor has excellent knowledge on the topic and he explains the concepts in such a manner that the students who are new to the field of electronics finds it very easy to understand. I would like to thank the University of California for creating this course.

This was a great course, you get all the foundational knowledge to be able to create effective communication between your Arduino-embedded systems and a server, whether the last one is Arduino-based or a pre-existent web page.

Muy buen curso pero puede mejorar la parte de la programacion, ya que tiene comandos para programar, que hay que aprender y no vienen muy bien explicados durante los videos.

Todo en general muy bien.

Great course to learn the different options that you have on the Arduino platform, the structure helps you to learn more than by looking at "videos" or reading online documentation.

It was an excellent course, I got a lot of information about Aduino, how it's work and how I can use it. I will join another course soon. Thank you so much.
