Physical Computing with the Arduino

👋🏼 Hi, welcome 👋🏼

You will learn the basics of physical computing with the Arduino.
This includes learning basic principles of electronics, reading and reproducing circuits sand programming the Arduino.

Arduino Board & IDE

Arduino is an open source physical computing platform based on a simple input/output (I/O) board and a computer program.
Arduino can be used to develop standalone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer, such as Processing, Max, the internet with a.o. P5.JS, ...
