Microcontroller Programming With Arduino

~60 min · 15 stations

Microcontroller Programming With Arduino is a self-paced learning path in Engineering & Robotics, free to read, written at General Public / 9th Grade reading level. Across 15 structured stations, you will work through the core ideas step by step, each with a short quiz to check your understanding. By the end you will be able to define the function of a microcontroller; identify core components of the Arduino IDE; explain fundamental voltage and current concepts.

Conductor

The Conductor

All aboard the logic express. We are diving into the circuits that power our modern world, one line of code at a time.
