Arduino Course for Beginners – Open-Source Electronics Platform
Learn how to use Arduino hardware and software in this full course for beginners. Arduino is an easy-to-use, open-source electronics platform. Arduino boards are able to read inputs – light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message – and turn it into an output – activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board.
No hardware is required for to follow along with this course!

I hope that this course helps people who are just starting their journey with Arduino or have some brilliant project ideas in their mind but are clueless about how to program an Arduino. This course will begin with the basic electronics concepts and then gradually teach about Arduino Programming. Arduino's programming language is derived from C++, so this course will also cover essential C++ concepts.
During my time working with Arduino, I have seen many people building great projects and product prototypes using this piece of hardware. Artists, designers, and even chefs who had absolutely no idea about electronics, sensors, and programming coupled their creativity with electronics and came up with fantastic work.
So this course is also an attempt to encourage people, regardless of their background, to start building stuff that they have in their mind without thinking that they don't know enough to begin.
Certainly, this course is not the end to the world of Arduino. For making some projects, one may need to know advanced concepts such as EEPROM, interrupts, communication buses like SPI, I2C, etc. But before moving to that, one needs to familiarize themselves with the basics.
I look forward to seeing the projects people come up with after finishing this course.

@ssaharhani
Very organized and informative,
You build a solud base in not only Arduino, but electronics in general and coding!
Thank you

Would anyone recommend this video for my son who really wants to learn this on this own, I saw udemy class for $200 this looks more comprehensive would you recommend it 13 year old ?

@shubhamdalwala300
my doubt is that the number is incremented in loop when global variable is declared and not incremented when local variable is declared. Why so? and using static variable that's solved, how ?

I find learning how to program with Arduino extremely confusing. I have been wanting to build a type of remote control using lora modules, that when you push the button / buttons, it will turn on a relay on the receiver side. (It seems like it would be easy to build but, it isn't!) Similar projects I have seen people build using Arduino, all have different types of code!
It's hard to explain but, there can be like 4 different ways to make the code to have it do something, when you push the button. I've not yet figured out why it changes so much from project to project. Does that make sense to anyone? It feels like it's not 1 clear set of code.
And all this project is using is just 2 Esp32 and 2 Lora boards! (Plus, the buttons and wires of course) Does anyone else struggle this much just trying to build a project, and learn this stuff? Sometimes it feels like they are programming it in python then another with C etc etc.
I just don't get it. I keep trying to learn it but, I get more and more discouraged as I go on.

which board and port i have to select as i am getting error while i select serial monitor. even i have selected board Arduino UNO and COMM 4
@user-lc7ut9em6q
@16:03 it only has 5 resistor why in the equation you have 6? is it a typo? ;w;

I am a long time arduino programmer and I do understand local and global vars and passing paramaters, but I do have a question about declaring local variables in void main loop that are only used to be passed to functions. 1.Do you agree that by default the void main loop is really a "while loop" that runs forever ? 2. assuming #1 is correct, then any variables declared in void main loop will keep getting redefined every cycle the void main loop runs and possibly resets the variable value a function may have changed ? 3. Do you just define void main loop variables as really globals above "setup" and treat them as local in the void main loop ? 4. Or do you create a additional "while" loop in main loop ?
