Advanced Arduino Programming ( advarduino | 14 hours )

• Basic familiarity with Arduino
• Basic programming experience
• A general understanding of embedded systems
• Familiarity with C/C++ programming

Audience

• Beginner developers
• Hardware/software technicians
• Technical persons in all industries
• Hobbyists

Arduino is an open-source, single-board, microcontroller for building devices that can sense and control objects in the physical world.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to program the Arduino using advanced techniques as they step through the creation of a simple sensor alert system.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand how Arduino works.
• Dig deep into the main components and functionalities of Arduino.
• Program the Arduino without using the Arduino IDE.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Course Customization Options

• Arduino is available in different models and supports different programming interfaces (C, C++, C#, Python) and IDEs (Arduino IDE, Visual Studio, etc.). The following will be used for this course:
  • Arduino Uno board
  • Arduino IDE
  • Arduino language (based on C/C++)
• *** Participants are responsible for purchasing their own Arduino hardware and components! ***
  • Hardware kits can be purchased from suppliers, such as: Arduino Starter Kit https://store.arduino.cc/products/arduino-starter-kit-multi-language
• To request a different setup, please contact us to arrange.
