Arduino is an open-source electronics platform that uses simple hardware and software to make interactive projects. With Arduino, you can create anything from a basic LED blinking system to more advanced projects like robots or IoT applications.
For more information about Arduino, visit the official website.
To begin using Arduino, you'll need:
- An Arduino board (e.g., Arduino Uno, Nano, etc.)
- Arduino IDE (Download from here)
- Basic electronics components (e.g., LEDs, resistors, sensors, etc.)
Follow these steps to set up your Arduino environment:
- Install the Arduino IDE.
- Connect your Arduino board to your computer via USB. (you can view active serial ports using the command
ls -al /dev/tty.*in the terminal) - Open the IDE and select the correct board under Tools > Board (ensure the correct port is selected).
