Introduction to Arduino

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

Simple technologies used in creative ways can make interesting and engaging effects. For example combining a temperature sensor with a slow pulsating coloured LED light. Add a battery then make your creation wearable or mountable where there is no power supply.

Skills you will learn:

• How to use an Arduino to control LED lights from simple inputs
• Basic electronic circuitry
• Simple programming logic to use inputs/outputs.
