Smart Microcontroller Applications Development (Arduino)

General Course Description

In this course, the trainees will learn how to program the Arduino for real-world usage, such as to control lights, motors and motion detection sensors. This course assumes the use of real hardware components in a live lab environment (not software-simulated hardware).
