About the Course

This course introduces the Arduino, an open-source platform for building digital devices and interactive objects. You'll explore the Arduino board, its libraries, and the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Learn to program Arduino using C code, control external devices via pins, and understand how shields extend functionality. This program is ideal for aspiring software developers, embedded systems engineers, and hobbyists eager to create interactive hardware projects. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Outline Arduino board components and functions. - Program Arduino using C language fundamentals. - Debug embedded software on Arduino platforms. - Implement serial communication protocols. To be successful, a basic understanding of programming concepts is beneficial. You will use the Arduino IDE and C programming language....

This was one of my favorite courses I've even taken with Coursera. The instructor was very good at explaining the subject to a beginner like me who has some programming experience yet none with Arduino.

This was the second course in the specialization, and I could get a good amount of knowledge on the Arduino circuit and could go baby steps into programming into the next course

Ian g Harris really helped me in knowing about arduino. i am very satisfied. at times it feels boring but i dont think there is any other way that this course can be taught.

very nice and handy course for arduino beginners. but you need a little bit of knowledge about microcontrollers beforehand. you cannot start with an absolutely blank canvas.

This course is the basic for starting with Arduino or Internet of Things.

Here it has been taught in a very simple language.

Great efforts by the professor Ian Harris.

Very interesting and well build up .

Some of the C & C++ IDE software didn't properly work well on my laptop and are hard to get them going....
